OK, this is my first posting here. I hope that it comes through legibly. After 9 months of Cubs.com, I have simply been sickened by the poor moderation of that forum. A member over here recommended this site. The Cubs will continue playing the small ball without having the power that you mentioned. Dusty has effectively used part of the WS playbook up until this point of season. If we are able to continue the recent pitching productivity and manufacture some runs, we will do just fine this weekend. We still match-up well with the Cards despite injuries. Interesting lineup. Pretty much what I expected, not bad considering the options Dusty has. Not a whole lot of power in that lineup, let's hope they can just get on base and drive each other in. I kind of like that lineup, given the situation. Some nice speed and contact in there. Essentially we trade DLee's bat for Hairy's -- not a good trade but Hairy does add some things to the mix. It's not a total disaster.
