That's not a bad lineup. Lopez is struggling overall and doesn't hit well RH anyway, he could probably use a day off.
I smell lots of runs in this game. Hopefully just for the Reds.
The power hitters are all lined up, including the latest and greatest: Larue.Pena better do something today, because he's lagging lately.
Put LaRue back in the 2 spot and play Ray at SS
Just Sayin
Dunn in the 4 hole and Pena in the 5 is how I would do this lineup, but oh well. Pena is good against the lefties.
Lopez needs the day off maybe it will rejuvenate him. I would just as soon see Olmedo play than Aurilia but in 500 years who will know the difference.
Should be a lot of runs. Hill's ERA is 7.00 and Milton's is over six. But saying that it will probaby be a 1-0 game. ;)Quote:

The wind is blowing from the NW at 10 MPH in Chicago according to weather.com
Not sure if that means it's blowing in, out or sideways in Wrigley, but either way the wind shouldn't be too big of a problem today.
Lopez needs a day off...which is fine.
Put him in the 2 hole, and that's your lineup of the future (Larue or Valentin at catcher is fine)
Id rather see Dunn bat 4th, but Pena hits lefties pretty good and it also breaks up the back to back left handers in the lineup.
That pretty much covers everything, doesn't it?Quote:

Thanks
The "lineup of the future" better not include KG playing CF or this team is screwed IMHO.Quote:

Damn, I was so close.
The ComCast telecast is also on the Extra Innings package for anyone outside the local area.Quote:

If you have DISH it is on channel 626 through the EI package.Quote:

All except the part of starting Eric Milton in a Wrigley-field game when Luke Hudson is on full rest and ready to go.Quote:

Hudson is an extreme fly-ball pitcher, too, you know.Quote:

Did I just hear Marty say the umpires are sponsored by Lasik vision correction? :lol:
Which station are you listening to cumberlandreds?
Freel Homers!!!!!!!!!!!! on the first pitch!
Freel homers to start the game
That's a nice way to start out the game!
BLACKED OUT
MLB TV rules suck
Oh, I agree completely about the Everyday-8 lineups Narron trots out. I know I was among the thousands clamoring for Casey to be dropped down in the lineup, and he was. Moving Adam Dunn up in the lineup to get him more at bats and better pitches was a similarly smart move.Quote:
