The last 2 years combined he's below .500. I know, only 200 at-bats, but it's not like he has a track record of hitting them well... at all. The fact he has been hitting like a pitcher against lefties over his last 2 years certainly seems that choosing to bench him in favour of a guy who generally handles lefties reasonably well is certainly far from "clueless". Dejesus is at best .660 against lefties, at worst, he's disgusting. He's just not a dangerous bat against lefties any way you slice it.

Soriano steals 2nd. A higher throw by Corky would have gotten him.

Soriano steals 3rd.

2nd inning significantly less awesome.

Sac fly to left scores Soriano. Lousy throw by Heisey.

1-0 bad guys.

Cody Ransom homers. Yeesh. Just over the wall.

2-0 bad guys.

no way --- he's in there for his defense!

Barney flies out to center to end the frame.

Another young arm ruined by Dusty Baker... ;)

Reds need to get the offense going before the 7th inning tonight.

The guy on the mound for the Cubs has been awfully good so far this season. I just hope it gets going at some point during the game and hope it is enough to win.

2-0 baby bears after 2.
