Who is your "pick to click" (Sorry)

I’m taking Soriano. I say he comes through big time.

Dallas Green!

Fukudome

Surprises everyone with something spectacular.

Second pick would be Ryan Dempster – 7 innings, 3 hits, 2 BB, 1 ER.

The Cubs.

Seriously. I hope this is a statement game that shows us as the dominant NL team. I wanna see Demp pitch a 7 or 8 innings of a gem and the entire lineup contributing.

The way this TEAM has played all year it would be fitting.

Pick to click

Theriot… he’ll score the winning run.

I agree

I think Eddmonds might have a MONSTER post season.

I have a feeling Edmonds is going to shine

I've had the felling for a bit..

that or DLee. I don’t think he was holding back at the end of the year b/c he started hitting the ball more towards the end but something tells me he is going to have a big playoffs

definitely

Jimmy Ballgame is going to have a great postseason. He’s been here many times before. I was very skeptical when we he picked him up, but he’s a Cubbie now!!!!

i really wanted to see fontenot in the lineup tonight

against Lowe, good low-ball hitter (no pun intended)

are gates still opening 2 hours before today?

what a sick lineup

when you can put dero in the 7 hole

I think you got it right...

…and I am going with Lee, Theriot and Fukudome in regards to offensive production tonight.

I don’t think Lowe is the best match up for Edmonds, but I expect him to make some noise in this series.

Is Furcal Healthy?

Their lineup changes to something dangerous with a healthy Furcal at the top.

The Dodgers lineup was announced by Torre yesterday

so I guess he is healthy enough to start.

My next sig line quote will also be from Lou Piniella, and the first word will be either "Look", or "Listen", followed by a comma.

I've heard he's not 100%......neither is Kent

There's a good chance that

that is the lineup, but I don’t see that anywhere on Suntimes.com.

its from the paper

no johnson?

I’d rather not see Fukudome in there—perhaps Lou is worried about DeRosa’s calf and doesn’t want to put him in right.

Also, Reed Johnson is 4-11 against Lowe, while Edmonds is 5-30 (ouch). I think I’d rather see Johnson in there.

But the way it’s gone this year, whoever’s in there usually contributes!

Is there an official NLDS roster yet?

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

The roster is on Cubs.com

The active roster is the 25 man october roster.

Crystal ball: Manny misplays a ball

on a Fukudome or Soriano sinking line drive to LF, letting the Cubs back in the game.

Later, Aram hits walk off HR vs Broxton.

Cubs win 3-2.

Manny in our outfield

Right is def harder to play then left, but left is still tricky. I would imagine that Manny might have a couple of problems, especially if there are any balls that go to the ivy or in the corner.

They call me MISTER Fukudome!
