[DaleJRFan]

exactly where ARow should be hitting. Good to see Ozuna back in the lineup.

agreed. i think it will light a fire under him and get him going.

Let's hope it works. It smells a bit like a Jerry Manuel getaway day special with two backups starting in the outfield. OTOH, it's interesting to see Rowand batting third. Perhaps with a legitimate power threat behind him, Rowand will see some good pitches and drive in some runs. I'd like it more if Podsednik was leading off.

[DaveIsHere]

I thought I heard Uribe was batting third, huh guess i was wrong

[mweflen]

they ought to bat ARow and Uribe 3 and 4, the way Dye and K-onerko are hitting.

But JM didn't have a patent on that. Other teams do it, too. What I don't understand is having the two best LH bats on the bench against a RHP who's been struggling with control.

Megadittos there. It's Timo-riffic!

I heard Ozzie on the pregame show say that Scott P was not feeling well today, thats why he is not playing.

I don't understand throwing a B lineup out there when you're trying to avoid a sweep.

I don't understand throwing a B lineup out there when you're trying to avoid a sweep.

Rooney just said: Pods out with stomach problem; Carl has cramps in his leg.

[Ol' No. 2]

I don't understand throwing a B lineup out there when you're trying to avoid a sweep.Do you know the difference between a sweep and just losing 2 out of 3? One game. The same as the difference between winning 2 out of 3 and winning 1 out of 3. It's just the same as any other game. With no off-days for another week, he needs to get his starters some rest.

[mweflen]

Turns out Pods has flu-like symptoms, per Rooney on 1000.

I'd prefer Willie in the lineup to Perez. I can't believe I just typed that.

[maurice]

I'd prefer Willie in the lineup to Perez.

I agree. In today's papers, KW admitted that the Sox acquired Perez to make Uribe more comfortable and help him realize his potential. Mission accomplished. Now go far, far away, Timo.

[kevingrt]

Very interesting line up I have no problems with it either, we are winning.

I do like Rowand in the three hole too. Should give him some fire and maybe a couple hits.

Good tinkering, wait did I just say that, I thought the tinker left?
