Atleast the cars on the northside have the same color doors as the rest of the car's exterior.
(Since I am too lazy to write correctly,I'd be a southsider....If I moved to the icebox city.One of those houses just outside the fence at Midway would be great.The chance of a jet coming down the street would be an interesting plus.) Last edited by SCUDSBROTHER : 12-13-2007 at 01:13 PM.

Hot-off-the-presses PECOTA projection for Kosuke Fukudome in Chicago:
PA R 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS BA OBP SLG EqA VORP WARP 465 80 30 4 15 58 70 94 9 3 .289 .401 .504 .303 29.2 4.4 PECOTA holds Fukudome’s playing time projection down because he missed about half of last season due to elbow surgery. If he’s healthy in spring training, that should no longer be a concern. And look at that pretty OBP! Fukudome is unlikely to be a huge power threat, but that on-base ability should address one of the Cubs‘ primary areas of weakness. His top comparables give you a pretty good idea of what sort of player we’re looking at; his is a fairly common profile for a left-handed outfielder. 1. J.D. Drew 2. Gene Hermanski 3. Jim Edmonds 4. Fred Lynn 5. Johnny Grubb 6. Andy Van Slyke 7. Bobby Abreu The question, of course, is whether they’ll be smart enough to put him in the leadoff spot (Fukudome also runs pretty well) and demote Alfonso Soriano. Something like this… Fukudome, RF DeRosa, 2B Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B Soriano, LF Soto, C Pie, CF Cedeno, SS …is a pretty good-looking lineup. PECOTA very much likes Geovany Soto and Felix Pie, by the way, and is reasonably warm on Ronny Cedeno. If the Cubs let these kids play–perhaps also integrating Ryan Theriot and Matt Murton in platoons of various kinds–this could quite easily be the best lineup in the National League

and as good as that lineup hit last year ,i'm not going to worry to much. ramirez and lee were very slow outta the gates and are not playing as well as 2-3 years ago. age and injurys are closing in on these 2 .last year proved one thing that whats on paper for the cubs and then to execute those back stats is another. and the starting pitching can get rattled very easily. zambrano-lily-hill-will be giving it up some this year just like last

Dome, RF
Theriot, SS Soriano, LF Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B DeRosa, 2B Soto, C Pie, CF Maybe switch Pie and Soto because Soto is more patient. take it easy with Cedeno, his defense is questionable. Theriot just fizzled towards the end, he was tired. If Pie would ever chill out, he would be a perfect lead off hitter and it could look like this Pie, CF Theriot, SS Soriano, LF Lee, 1b Ramirez, 3B Dome, RF DeRosa, 2B Soto, C What it will actually look like on opening day is Soriano, LF Theriot, SS Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B Dome, RF DeRosa, 2B Soto, C Pie, CF If this Dome guy is as good as a contact hitter that he supposedly is, he would be great behind ARam, to protect him in good situations.

Would it not be better to put the guy who gets on base a lot in front of the RBI guys instead of behind them? Soriano is not a 3 hole type hitter BTW
