.000 at the plate, but No. 1 in the order

Alfonso Soriano is headed back to the top of the Cubs’ lineup.

Manager Lou Piniella made the announcement after the Cubs’ 8-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Thank God the White Sox are playing an afternoon game Thursday; otherwise, The Score’s Mike Murphy will have a meltdown on Fons’s return to the top of the order.

By the way, Soriano has started 0-for-9. His at-bat in the sixth inning Wednesday brought back such wonderful memories of his performance against the Diamondbacks in the NL Divisional Series.

And, yes, the sarcasm light is fully illuminated.
