Was Dopirak's homer a cheapy or did he crush it?

Crushed. It was a hanging breaking ball.

Ron struggles with remembering the Grapefruit League.

 

Nice exchange there with Pat. :lol:

[otis89]

I also only have an audio feed, but Pat & Ron said it was a really nice play. I was just agreeing with them. :lol:

Sorry, I meant without an audio feed today. I'm only following along on here.

For anyone who was listening from Chicago, was there a new pregame opener ("The following is an exclusive presentation of WGN Radio Sports...", etc)? What did it sound like?

How does Hairston have a very good chance at winning the starting job at 2nd? Edited March 4, 2006 by otis89

How does Jerry Hairston have a very good chance at winning the starting job at 2nd?

 

Dusty Baker is the manager.

[otis89]

Nice ground-rule double Riot!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I really hope The Riot can make the Opening Day roster.

It's basically the same, if not the exact same. Last year, I believe the changed it in the first week of the season.

[Jon]

Pie with another triple!

[YearofDaCubs]

PIe triple.

[otis89]

Pie!! RBI triple!!

[WindyCity]

Pie with an RBI triple!

[Vinestal]

dang Pie with another Tripple

[otis89]

Juan Pierre, you've got yourself some competition. :D

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pie is having a nice spring which is good considering how he struggled in the Winter League.

[CubinNY]

Pie with his second tripple of the year.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Juan Pierre, you've got yourself some competition. :D

 

I think Pierre is safe, but Pie could make the Cubs think hard before signing Juan to an extension.

[texascub]

How many triples can one guy have in one AB? :lol:

[Brian]

Yes, no matter how well Pie does he needs to spend this year in AAA (with Von Joshua). But yes hopefully this will prove to Jim that we don't need to extend Pierre.
