Well, as usual, the "top" of the order really is an automatic out. So, keeping with the usual suspects, and with the professional hitter D.Ward in the "cleanup" spot, it is not a bad lineup after a night game. If Fonty can get on with no outs, and assuming he can get in scoring position with Lilly and Sori getting their usual outs, it will let TheRiot drive in a run with two outs. Anyone want to take a crack at the night game lineup prediction? Also, those who have been bitching about Dempster, I sympathize, but just do not see Lou adjusting roles now for 2007. It would be great if there was a lock-down set-up guy in the 6th or 7th inning OTHER than Marmol, but we have Oh-Man!, Eyre (who has been pretty decent post AS), and Wood, who has been - well - "Roller Coaster Ronny". Dempster pre-oblique injury, was the best I have seen him pitch. But that guy is gone.

So what now? We need six outs. We can't afford any mistakes and we definitely can't afford an extra inning game when there is still another 9 to play tonight.

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! 4 game winning streak, 2 games above MIL, 6 above STL. Wooha!

How did he look? Was his fastball any better? Did he use his fastball? Did he use Mentos?

Submitted by Wild Thing on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:07 pm

Heh, honestly never thought I'd see that again after the start of this year, cubster.

My lineup prediction for game 2: Soriano 7 Kendall 2 Lee 3 Floyd 9 Ramirez 5 Jones 8 DeRosa 4 Cedeno 6 Marshall 1 If Ramirez had started Game 1 and Theriot had sat, I would have thought we'd maybe see Soriano take Game 2 off.

OK, what is that 84-88 mph flat pitch that Dempster throws up the strike zone? I cringe every time I see it.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:21 pm

As one of Dempster's fierest critics of late...that was really, really great to see. Get one of the final 2 on this trip and we are in excellent shape. Even if worse comes to worse and we lose the next two and Milwaukee ties us...We get the significant schedule advantage back..with Milwaukee having no big home field advantage.

Submitted by Chad on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:25 pm

" Even if worse comes to worse and we lose the next two and Milwaukee ties us" Can't happen. We lose 2 and they win one, we're still up a half game but 1 back in the loss.

I was fine with the numerous bunt sacrifices in Houston the other day. But I have no friggin clue what Lou was thinking with Jones/Derosa today in the 9th.

Submitted by dc60124 on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 09:53 pm

27 blockhead I have no friggin clue what Lou was thinking with Jones/Derosa today in the 9th. lou was thinking the exact same thing that you and i and many others were thninking: putting dempster on the mound with a 1-run lead is a slippery slope. when jones got back to the dugout, lou was pretty cool about the "caught stealing". awful tough for derosa to try and bunt a pitch at cap level. that's my take anyway. lineup prediction for game 2: soriano lf jones cf lee 1b floyd rf aram 3b derosa 2b kendall c cedeno ss marshall p

Today is the perfect example of why fans are fans and players are players. Half this board is ready to throw Dempster under the bus every time he gives up a run or 'blows' ......what is it?.....yeah, 3 saves blown all year. Who knows what happens in Game 2 if Dempster is needed or over the next 2 weeks. But for 148 games, you know what? Dempster has done the job he's paid to do as well as almost any closer in the show. And I'm not an officer in the Ryan Dempster fan club. Next year is next year and Lou can figure that out during the off-season.

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.
