The Lineup I would have tomorrow...

[waldo7239117]

I think this lineup can win games and win tomorrow so the Cubs don't get swept by the White Sux.

1) Theriot 2B
2) Castro SS
3) Nady 1B
4) Byrd CF
5) Colvin RF
6) Soriano LF
7) Tracy 3B
8) Soto C
9) Lilly P

Thoughts?

Damn, I thought your lineup was a lot better than this. Weaksauce, nig. I guess things are getting even worse on the North Side than on the South Side LOL

 

[Lefty]

Just one question: why do you have the guy leading your team in OBP (Soto) batting in front of the pitcher?

Trust me I wanted him higher but he has been struggling and maybe he can get on base and let the pitcher put down on a bunt.

 

[Harry Caray]

1. Kenny Lofton
2. Matt Murton
3. Phil Nevin
4. Julio Zuleta
5. Matt Lawton
6. Chad Hermanson
7. Todd Hollandsworth
8. Todd Hundley
9. Ismael Valdez

there would have to be alot of guys playing out of position (there are 5 outfielders in this lineup) but this lineup would be f****n sick!

 

[waldo7239117]

Murton, lol.

No, I'm sorry, you don't do that with the guy leading your team in OBP.

 

[Harry Caray]

Murton, lol.

tell me this doesnt bring tears to your eyes!

.296/.345/.667 in his last 9 games is struggling?

Not to mention a small sample size compared to what he has done throughout the season.

Here's Mine:

1) Fukudome RF
2) Theriot 2B
3) Castro SS
4) Byrd CF
5) Fontenot 3B
6) Colvin LF
7) Soto C
8) Lee or Nady 1B
9) Lilly P

I know Lee/Nady are rather low, but I like the other guys higher, and neither have been hitting particularly well.

 

[waldo7239117]

You have Fukudome 1st and in instead of Soraino. Sopry but no. Kosuke sucks and should be gone. Who would u bat 8th then?

 

[Jntg4]

Fukudome doesn't suck. The one who sucks is Tracy ho you putin instead of Fontenot. Fukudome's OBP is .376, and I wanted to load the top of order up with people wjho would get on base for Byrd. And Floyd is a right-handed pitcher, so I wanted to get as many lefties in there as possible (Fukudome, Fontenot, and Colvin). And why would you put Tracy in?

 

[waldo7239117]

Because that is why the Cubs called him up. And Fontenot sucks at 3B. Also Kosuke does suck after April. And thjat still lives up to date.

 

[Jntg4]

He still gets on base, and so what if Tracy was called up to start at 3rd against righties? You say not to put in Fukudome because he sucks, but he's on this team to strat in Rigth Field. Tracy sucks way more. And Fontenot is the better bat and isn't that bad at defense at 3rd base IMO.

 

[waldo7239117]

To me Fontenot sucks at 3B and Trascy is way better. Tracy has not gotten a lot of playing time at 3B this year but when he has, he has been pretty good. But he is not a good pinch hitter. Kosuke should not be the leadoff mman, he is not getting on base lately. The 2 top guys should be Theriot Castro, in any order.

 

[Jntg4]

I still say I'm write, but I'm not going to argue with you anymore.

Agreed.

i actually like that lineup, what i hate about lou is that he keeps playing castro in the bottom of the lineup.
