What? How can they take Dope out and put him back in again?

[UBlink]

SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[jam1975]

I'm not sure if Dope was ever in to begin the game. Perhaps he was misidentified as being in to start or else he's being misidentified as being in now.

For the second time, how did the Cubs score?

2-0 on the Spring. Hopefully the regular season will start as well.

Fearless prediction: Jones continues to look good.

 

I called it. Thank ya vary maaaaaach! 8)

 

Maybe Jones is really determined to rebound, maybe he really CAN do it. Time will tell. But I'm keeping an eye on this guy.

Wow...just checking in and discover Sing has hit two homeruns. Maybe there's the right handed power bat for the bench I was looking for all offseason.

 

At most Sing is a longshot to fulfill that role for now as he would need to have a mammoth spring. How many teams would we see kicking themselves if he were to make our opening roster considering what transpired during Rule 5.

Yes please! :D

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ok, so Sing started. Great game for him!

 

2 BBs from Marmol is disappointing, but he, along with Aardsma, Brownlie and Piggy maintained their 0.00 ERAs.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

We are awesome.

[USSoccer]

Nice to see Jones getting hits off of leftys, even if it is just ST. Sing doing good things as well.

 

Welley is done, though. Too bad.

[mhuber92211]

what is good about Jones is that the hits off lefties have come against Major League Pitchers.

[mhuber92211]

BTW, Rusch quietly had a solid outing, save the HR to Ibanez.

Looks like Baker took notice of Sing's contributions yesterday.
