You can add Carlos Marmol and Aramis Ramirez to the list of Cubs who are hurting. The first was Bradley with his sore groin, now you have Carlos Marmol with a grade A strain in his knee, and Ramirez will miss at least 3 games with a strained calf.
The one good thing is losing your stars early in the season for a short time is not a huge deal but it could hurt. The Cubs are expected to call up a guy to back up the infield. Some rumored names are Bobby Scales, Andres Blanco, and Jake Fox. The Cubs should call up Fox, he can rake!
The Cubs have other issues as well, moving the lineup around they way Lou did is simply idiotic. Having Lee hit 4th and Soriano hit 3rd does not make sense. This is what he should do-
With Aram-
Theriot SS
Fukudome RF
Aram 3b
Soriano LF
Fontenot 2b
Lee 1st
Soto C
Pitcher
Without Aram
Theriot SS
Soto C
Fukudome RF
Soriano LF
Fontenot 2b
Lee 1st
Soto C
Pitcher
With Bradley and Aram back, everyday lineup-
Soriano LF
Lee 1st
Bradley RF
Aram 3b
Fukudome CF
Soto C
Fontenot 2b
Theriot SS
Pitcher
But that is just my opinion.

I like the third one, that is the one I said before the season.
I think the lineup will be:
Soriano
Theriot
Fukudome
Ramirez
Lee
Bradley
Soto
Fontenot
Pitcher
Lou said Bradley will bet 6th behind Lee
maybe Sour Lou will start batting the pitcher 8th? Wtf hasn't he tried with his many lineups? manager's job is to get the team together. there is no I in team, but there are a lot of I's in Lou's team like "I don't know who should lead off today." "I can't get the middle of the order on base." Get it together! Go Cubs!
Jimbo
