<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Lou Piniella has a wish list, just like any other Cubs fan, for what the team needs to get back to the postseason.
"You ask me, the biggest thing we need here is an RBI bat," Piniella said. "We need an RBI bat to sit in the middle of the lineup with [Aramis] Ramirez and Derrek Lee."
That's what the Cubs were hoping for from Milton Bradley, but he's missing this series against the Giants, part of the 15-game suspension issued last Sunday. The Cubs will try to move the switch-hitter in the offseason following a turbulent first year in Chicago. Bradley was believed to be the missing link because the Cubs were so right-handed.
<b>Does Piniella's dream hitter have to bat left-handed?
"I don't care if he hits between his legs, how's that?" Piniella said. "Right-handed, left-handed, doesn't really matter."</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Wish he would've said that last year.
