The funny thing is, where the hell will he bat in the order? 8th?

Until Braun gets acclamated I would say it goes something like this.

1. Weeks
2. Hardy
3. Fielder
4. Hall
5. Jenkins/Mench
6. Hart
7. Braun
8. Estrada

Estrada is batting over .300 right now in the 5 hole...why would you drop him down to 8?

Less power than Jenkins, Mench, Hart and Braun.

No chance Estrada gets bumped to 8. Braun would be at 8 if he gets called up.

Not even a .00000001% chance?

So the Cubs/Pirates game ended up suspended and will be finished tomorrow. maybe someone who understands the rules a little better can explain them to me. I understand that a game isnt "official" until after 5 innings, but when do you suspend the game and when do you just call it a final?

[Mags FTW]

While the game lasted longer than the required five innings to be official, it was suspended because the Pirates had not yet batted in the seventh. Baseball's suspension rules were changed during the offseason to pick up play at the point where a game was stopped, rather than going back to the last completed inning -- in this case, the sixth, with the Pirates up 5-2.

Cool, I didn't realize they changed the rules.
