Why isn't Theriot leading off?
He always gets a hit in the 1st it seems like.

I've been saying this for weeks. There's no logical reason to bat Soriano ahead of Theriot. Ryan gets on base more and is a better base stealer. On the other hand, Soriano hits for more power so he should bat in a spot where he'll have more RBI chances. Lou is just very stubborn with this right now.

The wind is blowing straight in so maybe that means we will actually hit home runs since we can't seem to do it when the wind blows out.

Soriano is a good hitter don't get me wrong but he never seems to lead off the game with a hit. He always seems to get his hits (20 game hit streak) late in the game.

I sure hope D Lee is alright.
He hurt his neck yesterday.

Well, our offense is struggling. I doubt losing our best hitter is going to help. This sucks.

Good news is Lilly is pitching really good so far as always.

It seems like every start we have a pitcher throwing a no-hitter into the 4th inning.
We just need runs to back it up.

its depressing hearing them talk about ted's great pitching performances this year and then you realize he only has two wins on the season
and as i type........... maybe things are turning around because the cubs take 1-0 lead on a matt murton single

Jones with another great at bat.

Oh God JONES SUCKS. I have to start looking away at every at bat of his. Murton playing good lately though, trying to show Lou he should be playing more.
