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.

I don't think they start Stavi at all, despite the lefty starting, unless they feel Luddy or Holliday (or Albert) needs a day off.

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

can you feel it...? wait for it....wait for it....





WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!!!

I think LaRussa will play Rasmus, though I hope Rasmus' heel has healed. I had a stone bruise in my heel for about 3 years, absolute killer pain. You can get through it (I played hockey and ran distance track with it) but it wears you down.

EDIT: Cleaned up some mixed modifiers.

I had the same thing. I played basketball and baseball through it just fine, but after the games it was a [expletive].

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

I like it, except that I'd put Colby in front of Albert, and DeRosa in the 5 or 6 spot. That's minor though.

Pujols should sit this game out. I like him coming back in the final game rested and ready to go on a tear.
