Add left fielder to the positions that Sean Marshall has played. In an unusually crafty move, Piniella removed Soriano from left (always a great idea) to put Marshall (who had just pitched to a batter) so that he could pitch to the next left-handed hitter. Although it didn't work out quite as planned as LaRussa countered by subbing a righty for the lefty who was supposed to bat. Anyway, it was fun and cool and then Reed Johnson made an awesome catch to make everyone forget about the whole thing. Too bad the Cubs lost, but Wells pitched another good game other than (of course) allowing two home runs to Ryan Ludwick.
