I just wrote about the lineups needed a different/better look than what Lou Piniella's been putting out there. Then I see this lineup for tonight in Houston, against Roy Oswalt and his 2.78 ERA:

1. Ryan Theriot, 2B
2. Tyler Colvin, RF
3. Derrek Lee, 1B
4. Marlon Byrd, CF
5. Aramis Ramirez, 3B
6. Alfonso Soriano, LF
7. Starlin Castro, SS
8. Koyie Hill, C
9. Ryan Dempster, P

Theriot batting leadoff? Really? The guy hasn't walked since May 1st, has just 25 hits in 110 at bats since May 1st, and you want him batting first, Lou? What a joke. I don't care if Theriot goes 5-5 tonight, he has no business being anywhere near the top of the lineup right now. None.

At least Tyler Colvin finally found his way into the lineup.
