I don't know if this game is being broadcast by anyone -- it's not showing up on the Rangers broadcast schedule. If anyone happens across any information, please post it. Thanks! :)

 

Cubs have a 2-0 record at HoHoKam so far this season.

Come on Maddux. Prove last year was not normal Greg Maddux.

Why is Rupe's full name on the topic title but Maddux's isnt?! That's inequality, I SAY! :roll:

Thanks Bruce. :D

[Laura]

Thanks, Bruce!

 

I don't think this game is being broadcast anywhere.

[Balsa]

Perez can play 3rd base?!

[goonys evil twin]

Lord help us if those 4 guys are ever atop the lineup in the regular season.

 

Does anybody know where Dusty has been hitting Neifi in the order when he's played. I'd really like to see him use Neifi later, even in the spring, if only to make me think Dusty won't repeatedly misuse him again when it counts.

He might just save this team.

Just ask him, he'll tell you. :lol:

Apparently Moore was spiked in the hand yesterday and will probably get a few days off. Perhaps McGehee will spell Neifi after a few innings.

He started the 3/5 game and batted 7th.

I wish Sing and Dopirak would get the starts over Mabry, but I know Mabry has a guaranteed contract and has to get his ABs in somehow.

[Tim]

Wow, if you take the best two hitters out of our lineup, we suck.

 

Of course, it is hard to come straight from looking at the lineups for the national teams, then looking at this.

In all fairness, this is Mabry's first game of the spring. He's had a bad back.

You could say our best 3 hitters too...

Hey Bruce, Do you know if Sing has gotten in any work in the OF at all this spring?? I know they were experimenting with him out there at the end of last year at West Tenn.....

He's had some work there during drills this spring.

Thanks, Bruce.

Anyone have a clue as to what's happening here? I know the DR-Venezuela game is getting all the attention.

No MLB audio for this game.... :(

[Laura]

The game should just be getting underway now.

[texascub]

Anyone have an audio feed for today's game?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

No score after the first.
