Rich Hill was horrible that day and got down 5-0 early. Cubs chipped away and were down 5-3 going into the 9th. After a run off of Cordero, Aramis Ramirez jacked a hanging slider for the walkoff 6-5 win.

That makes sense in theory
but when you’re trying to win ballgames, keep above .500, knock a division rival down a peg, and advance closer to first place, you manage to win, not placate your superstars.
Soriano gets his money regardless, and I have no doubt he’ll eventually help us win games again with his bat. But he has been really really bad as of late, the team did great with Fuld leading off, Fuld’s a far superior defender, and was getting on base.
It’s a no-brainer, Fuld should be in the starting lineup today. Period.

You can make that argument
You can also make the argument that his knee is still bothering him.
Or the argument that letting him play when he’s in this prolonged of a slump may hurt his mental state more than giving him a few days off to sit on the bench and clear his head. I’m not sure what the answer is…but in the mean time, I’d rather be winning.

Disagree
Lou was playing him after the reports came out of his knee hurting, we could see him limping while rounding bases and in the field. So that debunks—for me—the thought of Lout not playing him if he had some nagging injury, however mild it might be.
He sat for two days, came back, looked poor, and is playing again. Maybe it’s not enough time on the bench, or something to that effect. Either way, losing isn’t going to help team morale, or his morale, unless he’s a selfish player. By all accounts, he’s not selfish.
It won’t happen; I’d just prefer Lou to have played the “hot hand” in Fuld.

i disagree.
the brewers’ lineup is much better than the cardinals. this might be the best lineup in the league. the cardinals have pujols, rasmus, and then a bunch of mediocre players. cards have a better staff, but it seems really rickety as well.

You know
I was thinking about this the other day. Let’s say you combined the Cards and the Brewers into one team. We’ll call them the “St. Louis Suds”. You’d pretty much have the perfect team. Consider:
OF: Braun, Cameron, Colby Rasums
3B: Pujols (he has to move, and I think he’s more athletic than Fielder)
SS: Hardy
2B: Schumaker
1B: Fielder
C: Molina
SP: Gallardo, Carpenter, Lohse, Wainwright, Bush
RP: Hoffman, Franklin, Motte, Coffee….
