Cubs Launch Youth Movement

For the second half of the season, we can expect to see plenty of action from the youngsters in the Cubs lineup. But don't worry. The veterans won't go away and hide. As Lou Piniella put it, "Young kids don't bother me one bit. I think a good mix of veterans and youth is the way to go."

Just in case you forgot, the young players who have impressed allof us include Mike Fontenot, Felix Pie, Ryan Theriot, Carlos Marmol and Sean Marshall. They got all of us excited in June, and I'd like to stay excited all the way to the playoffs.

But I'll still be satisfied if only the Cubs finish above .500.
