I assume Hardy has not hit Zambrano well, just as I assume Kendall has. Not sure why you wouldn't want to get another LH bat in there. Anyone know what the wind is doing?

That was Cam's best game in over a month for sure. He's streaky, it'd be great to get him going. Let's hope we get a Z meltdown and a gatorade machine take out today. Untuck'em for Rickie!!!

Those two things probably combined more towards Kendall leading off a lineup with no true leadoff hitter, more than Macha being a "complete dope."

Posts: 2583 July 3, 2009 11:30 AM	Well Hardy hasn't been slapping the hits around, he has been hammering the ball around the last few days, with the exception of last night, and he dropped him to the 8 spot. I know he doesn't have great hostory with Z, but it does seem a bit odd.

Personally I'd like to keep JJ in the 2 spot for an extended period, because I agree, he's swinging better than most give him credit for. If anyone ever watches the NSBB IGTs, there is a guy over there, Fred Hornkohl, who always has a slew of random trivia/facts. He posted this tidbit, which I'll take as a positive for us; CUBS have put up back to back games with double digit hits for the seventh time this year. You have to go back to Aug '08 for the last time they had 3 consecutive games with double digit hits. In 2 starts against Suppan this year, the CUBS have put up hit totals of 5 & 9.

Yeah, it's not really a JV/forfeit lineup. Maybe Ken chose the order via dice roll. I guess I'll still hope for better than I expect.

"I always thought the knuckleball was the easiest pitch to catch. Wait 'til it stops rolling, then go to the backstop and pick it up."

They see a lot of pitches and if the ump isn't giving Z pitches out of the zone he may implode. "Close but not the cigar."- Telly Hughes

Hopefully Cam heats up and can go back to 5th and if McGehee starts to cool off we can get Gamel in there. "I always thought the knuckleball was the easiest pitch to catch.
