Okay, I'm done belly-aching and getting mad...for now. Let's look on the bright side: We all know we have played terrible baseball, underachieved, and had so many injuries it seems like a joke. The thing is we're still not out of it. 4-5 games is getting serious, but Lilly is due back Monday. Big Z should be back soon. Reed Johnson is due back in about 2 weeks or so. Gorzelanny should be back soon. Although Bradley is out today, he's been on fire! Soto isn't hitting much, but you have to believe he'll get better now that he's healthy. Baker is on fire. Now look at our upcoming schedule: 3 games vs. Pittsburgh(46-68), 3 games @ San Diego(49-67), then LA, but then the Nationals. And I thought, why not bring back the picture of the #1 Cub fan?
I like this lineup vs. lefties:
SS-Theriot
RF-Bradley
1B-Lee
3B-Ramirez
LF-Soriano
C-Soto
2B-Baker
CF-Fukudome(until Johnson is back)
*With Fox giving Ramirez more days off than usual. Maybe some spot starts to rest Lee, Soriano, and Bradley.
and this one vs. righties:
SS-Theriot
CF-Fukudome
RF-Bradley
3B-Ramirez
1B-Lee
LF-Soriano
C-Soto
2B-Fontenot
*With Fox giving Ramirez more days off than usual. Maybe some spot starts to rest Lee, Soriano, and Bradley.
When all the pitchers are healthy-go with a 6 pitcher rotation until one of them gets hurt again(because you know they will). Zambrano, Wells, Harden, Lilly, Dempster, and Gorzelanny. Wow! That should be deadly. Then although they have all been shaky, Grabow, Marmol, Gregg, Marshall, and Guzman should be sufficient in the bullpen.
