If I'm not mistaken, everyone hates Theriot anyway and nobody was fond of Soriano batting 2nd. yeah. and if we used your lineup this game, we still would have lost. the cubs didn't lose because of the lineup, they lost because they couldn't get a hit for the 1st 8 innings. I didn't see we lost because of the lineup, but obviously Theriot can't leadoff and Soriano can't mentally (not to mention he shouldn't anyway) bat 2nd. soriano would be fine hitting 2nd all year. Except he'd get a lot less RBIs then he should. soriano will get less RBI batting 2nd than he would if he hit leadoff? what?
