Sosa batting 5th in the lineup

Not to bad, 5th in the order = 2-4 Homerun

That will be the Cubs postseason lineup and that will take them to the World Series...

Like lil flip would say,
GAME OVER

Yes, but eventually Ramirez and Alou flip when Aramis gets more healthy. The lineup will be:
Patterson
Lee
Garciaparra
Ramirez
Sosa
Alou
Grudz/Walker
Barrett

d2, you think they'll keep hitting lee in the 2 spot?

D2bets · Aug 19, 2004

blue, yes and I hope so. I've been calling for that for months. It makes sense. He's got good speed, he can go to right field, he takes an some pitches and an ocassional walk. Pretty good OBP. Nomar is good in the 3 hole where he can drive in more runs and keep rallies going. Lee, Nomar, Aramis is a real nice 2-3-4.

the lineup change has helped the offense thats for sure. sosa should be hitting even lower in the lineup though. and edg, you better not starting saying world series until that bullpen is straightened out. they are BRUTAL.
