Posted by Lionel on May 5, 2009.Here's today's Cubs starting lineup:
1) Gathright CF
2) Miles SS
3) Fukudome RF
4) Lee 1B
5) Hoffpauir LF
6) Fontenot 3B
7) Scales 2B
8) Hill C
9) Marshall P
Closer (if needed)-Aaron Heilman
Before you start thinking Lou has been downing Corona's, let's look at why he's resting a lot of his regulars. The Cubs are on their first four game winning streak and will at least split the 2 games series with the Giants. It gives Gathright his first start of the year and gives Scales a chance to play. It puts 8 lefties in the lineup (the only one not batting leftie is D-Lee). But mostly, it is because the Cubs #5 starter is facing the Giants #1 and reigning Cy Young award winner. So, if the Cubs are going to have a bad matchup, this would be it. Ideally, the Cubs would have an off-day tomorrow (Lou usually likes to give his regulars 2 days of rest).
