Lou really hates putting the worst hitter in the 8 spot for some reason.

i miss him :( :( :(

[UMFan83]

Why does Lou keep tinkering the order of the lineup? Is he trying to find one that works for the playoffs?

[TruffleShuffle]

derosa has been on fire and hits lefties well; fukudome has been cold and looks lost against lefties.

 

so fukudome bats 7th and derosa 8th? wtf?

[Brian]

he wants someone on for Demp to bunt over?

 

he wants someone on for Soriano to drive in?

 

glad Geo finally back to the middle

[PrimeTime]

I wouldnt mind having another lefty in there..With too many rightys Hamels or any lefty can get locked in on that one spot on the outside of the plate and throw there all night. Throwing another one kinda puts him off-balance so he cant throw there all night

[Andy]

I'd like to thank Ball State for tossing up a 21 spot in the first twenty minutes of their season opener tonight so I can pay full attention to the Cubs. :D

[manbearcub]

Sorry boyz, I just cant pick this game over the college football opener.

[UMFan83]

Gah...come on Demp.

 

Utley is going to kill us all series isnt he?

[PrimeTime]

Thats a nasty 1-2..Rollins and Utley..Damn double

[17 Seconds]

Everything is up so far for Demp

[BleacherBadger]

Smart giving up third.

[17 Seconds]

Smart giving up third.

 

But he had him easily

[Brian]

I bet that ticks off Theriot watching a guy advance to 3rd on a groundout to short when he's been thrown out 47 times doing that.

[TruffleShuffle]

wow we got pat the bat out? no way.

[UMFan83]

I miss when the top of the lineup is something like Norris Hopper and Jeff Keppinger. Why can't Dusty coach all the other teams?

[BleacherBadger]

Smart giving up third.

 

But he had him easily

 

Not guaranteed. There's a guarantee out at first. And with 2 outs now, they can pitch around Howard.

[RedFlash]

I like the chances of taking 3 of 4 from the Phillies. Will it happen, IDK, but can it happen, yessir.

 

As for the NLDS talk and having to potentially face the DBacks.....I respect Webb and Haren, but i certaintly don't fear them, and I suspect a majority if not all of the Cubs players feel the same way. If you are imitimadated by a pitcher, then you are no good to the team.

 

And, GO CUBS, let's beat those Female Horses from the city of the the gay motto.....

[Brian]

the Phillies have 3 straight with 30 HR, I wish we had 1 :(

[UMFan83]

Keep an eye on Demp. He threw way too many pitches last time out. Let's see if it effects him like it did Z after throwing too many pitches in Milwaukee

[Brian]

crap

[Andy]

Shane Victorino is one of those guys.
