Taking Barry Melrose's Twitter advise & waiting 8hrs to comment on game. What I can say: Detroit simply wants it more. Very frustrating. about 16 hours ago from Twitter for Android
Hammer gives Franzen the mule; Kane keeps hope alive! C'mon Hawks! about 17 hours ago from Twitter for Android
Hawks fans worry about Car Bomb taking stupid penalties. Meanwhile, Shaw is guaranteed to take two stupid penalties a game. #Blackhawks about 17 hours ago from Twitter for Android
Been waitin' all day. Let's. Go. Hawks! #Blackhawks about 19 hours ago from Twitter for Android

Cubs Opening Day

By bullpenbrian - April 7, 2009 - 12:44 am 4 comments.

I’m wondering if Lou was just posturing this winter about moving Soriano down in the lineup.

Was the skipper’s intention all along to play a simple little mind game with Sori, merely planting a small reminder in Alfonso’s brain that they’re other options for the Cubs at leadoff?

Six weeks of Spring Training and we can count on one hand how many games Sori didn’t bat out of the No.1 hole. And if Lou truly wanted to test Soriano elsewhere in the order wouldn’t we have seen more of that in Arizona?
