Maybe the Cubs don't suck so badly after all.

 

Let's summon the spirit of Jobu.

I don't know, maybe, I hope so. I might catch the first innings, I think.

Do we know Lees in the lineup?

 

I think it was posted in the previous game thread that both Lee and Ramirez would play today, and since they didn't play the first game I figured they'd play the second.

During the telecast, I DID hear Len mention that 'Lee may play in the 2nd game' so I'm assuming they could possibly sit him again. But I don't see why he wouldn't play in the 2nd.

Neither D-Lee nor Aramis Ramirez are in the Game 1 lineup. D-Lee was getting treatment on his neck, and the Cubs say that both he and Ramirez will play tonight.

 

per Friendly Confines in the first game thread.

Lou said after the game Lee and ARam WILL BE in the lineup tonight, but wouldnt reveal the rest of the lineup. And pretty cool thing of Z to do, he choose the day game so Wells could pitch on ESPN in front of a national audience. Z said he wanted everybody else to see how good he is.

Wow, that's an incredibly nice thing to do. Kudos to Z.

Yeah it is...hopefully Wells just keeps on doing what he has done all season.

 

Does anyone know what the rotation will look like for the Nats series? Specifically Saturday?

I doubt we'll know how Lou has set up the rotation for the second half of the season until after the All-Star Game.

I'm gonna predict this lineup

 

Fukudome, CF (L)

Theriot, SS ®

Lee, 1B ®

Ramirez, 3B ®

Bradley, RF ("S")

Johnson, LF ®

Fontenot/Blanco, 2B (L/S)

Hill, C (S)

Wells, P ®

 

Remember it's just a guess not what I want. I could also see Johnson in for Bradley instead of Soriano if the Cubs don't mind having all righties in the middle of the order.

Also...kinda funny. This will be Wells 12th start of the season, and he only faced one opponent twice...the Braves. His 13th start will likely also be against a new opponent, the Nationals.

I just hope Wells keeps rollin' ....

 

In 11 starts he's only given up 4 runs once, same with 3 runs. Together with Lilly, he's the only Cubs starter I trust on the mound for a solid outing right now. Actually, it's pretty awesome that he's been able to do that in so little time.

I couldn't agree with you more.... I have every confidence in him, but you know, I'm a lifelong Cubs fan, no rest for the weary....
