Kershaw looking very sharp so far, but then again, so did Billingsley last night.

Piniero starting to get back to his groundball mode.
Siddown Manny!!!

This is crazy to watch on Gameday. I'm watching Pineiro and Kershaw match falling ERAs as the innings go by.

Aaaand that's why you want to have a major league center fielder.

[clevername]

this is why you don't play Luddy in center for funsies.

You'll just have to take my word for it that I was in the middle of posting "I hope Ludwick doesn't kill us in center."

[fanforever]

thank God he didn't kill himself

[The Third Man]

Bah, left that one up.

So, w/ the new lineup, will La Russa put Ludwick or Holloday in center to get Stavinhoa in against the lefty?
I'd play Rasmus, but I'm not the manager.

Hmmm... Ankiel is out until probably tomorrow, so I'm guessing he sucks it up with Rasmus. If we had a decent righty option for 2b aside from Lugo, I wouldn't be surprised if Lugo was put in center.

My predicted lineup:

2b Lugo
3b DeRosa
1b Pujols
LF Holliday
RF Ludwick
C Molina
CF Rasmus
SS Ryan
P Pineiro

That's the line up that should be out there tonight. Colby's defense is more important than Stavi's bat.

Time to bump this post.

[The Third Man]

Brendan Ryan is ridiculous.
