Cubs are now 4-1 on the spring. Gotta like that!

[CoolHandLuke]

Its nice to see Dopirak having a good spring so far. Lets hope he can keep it up for the next 600 at bats.

[Shilzzz]

thank you to everyone that participated in this thread today. it's nice to come home from work and be able to relive the game in 10 minutes.

[jam1975]

Bruce, if you pop back into this thread, could you tell us how Guzman looked today as far as location, velocity, etc. ?

yeah most definately, I came back from class and did the same thing. It tailed off at the end (but it sounds like so did the radio guys), but we got the important info.

I wonder if he's wearing that hat under the helmet just so it'll fit.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

I'm starting to like Juan Pierre more and more. I wasn't big on him at all during the trade talks.

[Balsa]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised. He's got a Craig Biggio head.

[Mark_R]

I see Welly is already in midseason form.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I see Welly is already in midseason form.

 

If by midseason, you mean about to be released or traded...I'd say you're right on target.

[CheeseHead Cubs Fan]

I am pumped about Juan at leadoff, I have a real good feeling about him setting the table for Walk, DLee, ARam and even Jones.

 

I gotta good feeling about the Cubbies right now!

[mhuber92211]

Not only did Welly have a tough time but apparently so did Aardsma. Although he got out of it, not a comfortable looking line.
