3/2 ST #1: Cubs (Zambrano) vs A's (Haren) 2PM WGN radio

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The Spring Training season will kick off with Zambrano facing off against the Oakland A's. The game will be on WGN radio and also carried on XM 188 as well as MLB.com.

 

This will be the first and final game for Zambrano, Lee, Barrett, and Blanco before they depart to join their respective WBC teams.

 

I'm ready for baseball, and it is now time. Here's to a great spring, a great regular season, and a great post season. :pint:

[rawaction]

I think the answer Rocket's looking for is tomorrow. 3/2

[Laura]

I edited in the date. The broadcast schedules are also stickied on the top of the page.

[otis89]

Baseball is here! Come on radio, get a decent signal of AM 720!

[Jon]

I have to miss Z b/c of a 2-3:20 class. :( Not gonna happen next quarter, though.

[Vinestal]

I thought this game was going to be televized when is the first TV game?

sunday

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Dan Haren will start for the A's and go 30 pitches or 2 innings. Milton Bradley, Mark Kotsay and Jason Kendall won't play.

 

Z is scheduled to throw 35-40 pitches.

Seeing this thread made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. BASEBALL SEASON IS HERE

Crap. Stupid school. Last year i snuck my radio in, but i cant do that this year because the classes i have during that time frame; The teachers actually want you to pay attention. Whose stupid Idea was that.

I sense that this semester I will be perpetrating the college version of sneaking a radio into class; listening to Gameday Audio on my laptop while sitting in a lecture. All part of being a Cubs fan. :D

[Omar]

Is anyone else garunteed to pitch for the Cubs other than Z?

 

Anyone other than Harden on the A's?

 

I probably wont be on the computer until tomorrow, so if anyone knows and wans to fill them in, go ahead.

Predictions Based on Match-ups: Cubs have had some success against Haren in only 28 ABs. He's also allowed more RBIs, doubles, and home runs against the Cubs in 28 ABs than Z's allowed in 71 ABs against the A's. Thanks to Haren pitching, my prediction has changed. Cubs win!

2005 PBOM Spring Training Record: 0-0-0

It's Dan Haren, not Rich Harden.

I predict that Scott McClain goes yard twice. :lol:

[A New Era]

I predict Jones continues to look good (god please let him be truthful when he said he aims to bounce back this year )

[UMFan83]

I really have nothing to add to this conversation. I just wanted to post in the first game thread of 2006!!

[Laura]

I predict that Scott McClain goes yard twice. :lol:
