7/4 Brewers (Looper) @ Cubs (Harden) 12:05, WGN

[Keener98]

Still no word on the lineups yet?

[E.J.]

It's too early for lineups to be out yet. You'll have to wait another 20-30 minutes, you impatient bastard.

Alfonso Soriano-OF-Cubs Jul. 4 - 10:15 am et

 

Alfonso Soriano could be bumped from the leadoff spot Saturday.

 

"We'll probably make some adjustments in our lineup [saturday],'' manager Lou Piniella said when asked about Soriano's continuing struggles. ''We'll leave it at that. ... Soriano will start hitting. I have confidence in the young man and feel he'll hit. I have all the confidence in the world in him. We need to get him jump-started somehow.'' Look for rookie Sam Fuld at the top of the order on July 4 as the Cubs play out a series with the Brewers.

 

So Im guessing that Fuld goes to center with Kosuke to RF and Bradley on the bench where he belongs.

 

So Sam Fuld is everyone's new flavor of the month. Lets wait a little bit till we enshrine him into the HOF.

 

If you want this conversation to keep running in circles, then yes. He is the "flavor of the month", and we should at least give him a chance to see how far he can take it as we did with Scales and Fox before him. Weve gotten nothing out of leadoff for the past few months, and you know whats better than nothing? Anything. Therefore, if Fuld can give us anything out of leadoff, hes an upgrade over what weve gotten lately. Nobodys saying hes the savior. Nobodys sending him to Cooperstown.

No it's hes just a breath of fresh air if he produces anything will be better than what we have had lately out of the leadoff spot. Plus he can give the struggling outfield some much needed physical but mostly mental rest because Hoff can't play center.

< 1 hour until game time and no lineups? WTH?

[Rusch33]

Here's the lineup they have on Cubs.com Forum --

 

 

CF Fukudome, SS Theriot, 1B Lee, RF Bradley, 3B Fox, LF Soriano, C Soto, 2B Fontenot, P Harden.

Lous trying to keep the fans from being in a frenzy over the all Sam Fuld lineup.

Why the heck are the CUBS always the last ones to announce their lineups ?? Grrrr !!

CF Fukudome, SS Theriot, 1B Lee, RF Bradley, 3B Fox, LF Soriano, C Soto, 2B Fontenot, P Harden.

 

2 days without Sam? NOWAY! We are doomed. But thats funny if thats the lineup. Lous idea of lineup changes means moving Sori to 6th and Fuku to 1st.

[Rusch33]

That's the lineup..

 

From Bruce's blog:

 

Fukudome, CF

Theriot, SS

Lee, 1B

Bradley, RF

Fox, 3B

Soriano, LF

Soto, C

Fontenot, 2B

Harden, P

I remember the good old days when Bruce used to post the lineups in the game thread. [/sigh]

[weis21]

I'm pumped! Let's win this series today! Go cubs!

[E.J.]

I like that lineup. It's guaranteed to score at least 12 runs today.
