Lou gets jumpy, Soriano back to leadoff

Well, that was fast.

After Alfonso Soriano started the season 0-for-9 hitting in the second hole, Lou Pinella has decided he's moving the leftfieder back to the leadoff spot, while Ryan Theriot (hitting .222, 2-for-9) will vacate the leadoff spot and drop to the No. 2 position.

I guess Lou is about as patient as most Cubs' fans.

You know, it seems bizarre to think that a guy can only produce when hitting in one spot in the order. But if somewhere were loony enough for that to be the case, I'm guessing it'd be Soriano.

Just a shame he usually puts up No. 4 hitter numbers in the No. 1 slot.

(I still think he should be in the No. 5 spot.)
