Man, Bucky really seems to be treating this like an exhibition. I guess he doesn't want to get blackballed by an owner who loses a key player.

[Chris]

Looks like DLee is wearing a Cubs bracelet in the HR picture.

 

Very nice!

[Omar]

Vernon Wells in center, Jones at 3rd, Young at SS, and BARETT! at Catcher... Along with Todd Jones on the mound. Base hit for Garcia.

[Uber]

Barrett in the game

I expected to see moves being made, but I didn't expect the game to be 1-0 and moves being made.

 

Big DP!!!!!!!!

[Omar]

Double play. 2 down.

[Omar]

Barrett in the game

 

He still looks better in blue.

[Pistolcub42]

I was expecting the classy Karim Garcia to take a cheap shot at Utley there..

[Chris]

The great thing about a game so early in the year is that you get a nice helping of pure speculation.

[Omar]

Cantu grounds a single down the middle.

[Omar]

Durazo grounds to Utley. Inning over.

[Omar]

Lee back up at the plate. Is this game going fast or what?

[Flames24Rulz]

Lee back up at the plate. Is this game going fast or what?

 

yes, very fast.

[Omar]

And he grounds to third. 1 down, Chipper up.

[Omar]

Chipper Jones joins Derrek Lee with a home run!!

[Chris]

Wow, great timing for that HR!

 

2-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

Chipper with an insurance shot on the first pitch he sees. 2-0 USA.

[Chris]

"Chipper Jones is the NL version of Derek Jeter"

 

Someone explain that please.

[Omar]

Winn flys out. 2 down.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

"Chipper Jones is the NL version of Derek Jeter"

 

Someone explain that please.

 

Yeah, I didn't get that either. I guess they've both been to the playoffs a lot, but they're not similar players. :?

[Omar]

Is anyone gonna back-up Lee? Or is he going the entire game?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Is anyone gonna back-up Lee? Or is he going the entire game?

 

Teixeira is the other 1B, so in all likelihood Lee will stay the full 9.

[Omar]

Utley strikes out. Inning over... 2-0 United States

[da bears]

Alright bullpen, lets hold the lead.

[Omar]

Joe Nathan in for USA.
