Tonight's lineups
Nomar is in at first base, as expected. The other part of the equation is that the bottom of the order was shaken up, with Blake moving to sixth, Kemp dropping to seventh and DeWitt now hitting eighth. Nomar's career postseason stats are fairly impressive. He is batting .318 (34 for 107) with a .380 on-base percentage, a .598 slugging percentage, seven HRs and 23 RBI.

just win baby...
This lineup does not inspire confidence in me. Manny and Ethier are the only ones we can count on. Furcal and Martin are out machines, almost as bad as Blake, Kemp, and DeWitt. But they're the best we have....
By all means... let's sit out our best hitter in the NLCS in James Loney for a slumping Casey Blake. Nomar should be playing third base tonight with Loney at first.
Torre... I hope you end up looking like a genius tonight...
Snuffy,
I have no idea what your record is every time you post "just win, baby" but whatever you do, keep posting it. It's working.
Thanks Buddy...'just win baby' is now 8-0.
Let's make it 15-0.
