Watch for big Cubs offensive boost

[CubsFan7724]

Well, with Patterson who seems to be improving and batting leadoff, and then Nomar in the two hole, I think this really is going to give a nice surge to the offense, mainly Sosa, Alou, Ramirez and Lee. If Patterson can go to a typical leadoff hitter who will bat .300 (closing in on that number) and steal 25-30 batter, and then Nomar will get on base, a lot of the solo home runs the Cubs have been hitting will start turning into 2 or 3 run shots. Just a prediction by me

Surely this is an unbiased prediction.

But Nomah definitely improves this club.

[CubsFan7724]

Very funny. Since I follow the Cubs more than any other team, I think that those 2 at the top could really set the table for others, which means more RBIs and better pitches because there are men on base. Always good for fantasy, you know?

Well I have 4 cubbies now - Patterson, Nomar, Sosa, Lee

And I'm a Cards fan.

[NY Yankees Fan 2004]

From the Cubs I have Kerry Wood and Moises Alou.

Hey I just remembered I have Wood too, I was thinking hitting.

[ocmusicjunkie]

I think you're right, this is going to give them a giant boost. That sort of scares me, since I was hoping the Cards would crush them. I love Prior and Wood, but I hate Sosa and Zambrano... hopefully they won't catch the Cards.

Yup, unless he's going on the DL soon.
