Seeing Jason Marquis' ugly mug on my TV is not reassuring. I want the guy to do well, for obvious reasons, but I still haven't fully embraced him as a Cub... Too much recent Cardinal history.
I heard that too. I wonder if that's true throughout his managerial career of if he's playing possum so other managers aren't looking for it late in games? I don't feel like looking it up though. :P
Could be... If Murton does well in RF, the OF could be Murton, Pie, and Soriano (R to L). I have a feeling that Soriano could be moved to LF if his hitting doesn't come around soon (which is why Lou had a talk with him).
The report on the radio is that Aramis is fine. They are just giving him an extra day. He took batting practice and infield drills today. He will probably return tomorrow.
Murton in RF and Jones in LF? Are you sure that's not flip-flopped, or that Floyd isn't in place of Jones? I find it odd that Lou put Murton in the 4 hole, considering the main reason he's been out most of the season was due to a lack of power. And why is Barrett given middle of the order status? He's been as bad as Izturis this year. The only question is DeRosa at 2B or 3B. I've heard both.
