OK, This is my rant for tonight: Why is DeRo batting 8th?

Lou’s excuse for not batting him #2 is that he is good at driving in runs. Dome isn’t getting on base, so who is DeRo going to drive in?

Let Dome bat 8th if he’s just going to play for his glove.

I wish DeRo would complain once in a while, just so that Lou would stop treating him like a dog.

Why does he always have to move?

Why not have utility players that, you know, are utile. Starters should have a set position. He was promised 2B, and that promise didn’t last 3 weeks.

DeRo has said that he doesn’t like playing OF. Why was he playing OF when Sori was hurt and Murton was anchoring the bench? Why not just play him at 2B and let him be a productive 2B?

dunno if I'd say it was to

screw him. DeRosa is just that guy where, well, he’s gotta go somewhere. Lou knows he can put him almost anywhere.

Dood plays MLB baseball for the best team in the MLB. I don’t think he thinks he’s getting screwed.

DeRo has a 1.095 OPS for Aug.

Dome has a .429 — yes, that is his OPS for Aug.

Why should a hot hitter who is a fastball hitter be batting 8th where he won’t see a fastball, while a guy who is batting like a pitcher (actually, Harden’s OPS is higher for Aug.) gets “protected”?

Because Lou

knows that DeRo can make lemonade from lemons, and Dome needs more opportunities?

that would give Sori

RBI opportunities.

There’s only nine spots to bat. I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t think DeRosa would suggest that he’s unahppy with batting 8th. He’s batting all over the order, and doing very well.

Actually, I heard him on one interview

(right after the ASB) say “I hope I’m not the one who’s batting eighth”. It’s just like the OF: DeRo doesn’t like it, but he will do it without complaint. That’s why he gets walked on by Lou.

DeRosa is just about my favorite player

I know he’d love to bat 2nd or 5th. But it’s his ability to go anywhere and bat anywhere that makes him so valuable, and if that’s what it takes to get some rings here in Wrigley, then by all means, bat him 8th.

It’s not a demotion. It’s spreading your offense out over the entire lineup.

I walk out of my car (listening to game on XM) and Cubs have first and second with no outs.

I run in the house and turn on Comcast and I see Fukudome walking off and the inning is over. I guess I should have stayed in the car. Blame that inning on me.

If Brenly mentions one more time

how great it is that Dome hasn’t let his awful offensive performance (I seriously can’t remember the last time he came through with a a) clutch RBI hit 2) two-out RBI hit) affect his fielding I will lose it. No one cares. Reed Johnson would do just fine out there, and maybe actually get a hit now and then.

Phillips flies to right to end the inning

"This is why Major League Baseball does not need instant replay, because then every single play will then be reviewed." -- Joe Morgan, 5/18/08, referring to an umpire ruling a Carlos Delgado homerun foul when replays showed it hit the foul pole.
