Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Right now the game is under rain delay (God's way of saving the Cubs from a humiliating sweep). If we ever play ball today, Ryan "the riot" Theriot will be starting at short. This has the potential to be a genius move by Lou, if Ryan can efficiently play the position.

Announcing that last night's starting lineup would be pretty much the constant for the next few weeks, Pinella immediately changed it this afternoon after a lethargic offensive showing. This possibly be due to the fact that the number 3 hitter on the team hasn't been getting enough cuts at the plate as of late.

Ryan has yet to give the Cubs a reason to keep him out of the starting lineup, so let's all pray that he can handle short. He is an offensive spark, and after last night, we need that bad. There's no reason why this team can't score 4-5 runs a game without breaking a sweat.
