6/26 Lineup
Milton Bradley is back in the Cubs’ lineup for Friday’s game vs. the White Sox but Ryan Theriot is getting the day off. It’ll be LF Soriano, CF Fukudome, RF Bradley, 1B Lee, DH Hoffpauir, 3B Fox, 2B Fontenot, C Soto and SS Blanco.

So much for the benching of Bradley, at least both Fox and Haspower are in the game. Theriot should get a day off, Blanco should handle SS rather well. With Johnson on the DL Lou doesn’t have much of a choice but to play Bradley . What a defensively challenge outfield, pretty irresponsable on Hendry’s part. DeRosa!
I understand giving Theriot a day off he deserves it if thats what he wants. Lou is stuck with Bradley so you might as well play him. I don’t like Hoff and Fox so low in the lineup though. Fox should hit 3rd or cleanup, period.
I agree ecotone84, Lou is still putting too much faith in Fukodome by batting him second. The only thing is Lou may be trying to ease off some pressure from the two young guys by batting them lower??? DeRosa!
