3/18 ST Cubs(Rusch) @ White Sox (Vasquez) 2 PM WGN

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Glendon Rusch will take the mound as the Cubs travel to Tuscon Electric Park to take on the White Sox.

 

The White Sox have been atrocious this spring. Go Cubs!

[otis89]

White Sox announcers! Pardon me while I throw up. :x

[Fred Hornkohl]

Did I mention that I really really hate the white sox ?

[Marco4]

I look forward to this.

I've been too busy to keep up with the Cubs the past couple days so does anyone know if Lee and Barrett will be playing today?

Press Notes

 

Some interesting information:

 

Jacque Jones, batting .478 this spring (11-23), has at least

one hit in his last three games and has reached base safely

in each of his last six games.

© Jones is 5-for-8 with 2 runs in his last three games.

© Since going 0-for-2 on March 7 vs. Texas, Jones has

hit in five of his last six games with a .500 batting

average (7-14).

 

 

Wow...this is a change!

 

The Cubs’ .305 spring batting average ranks seventh in the

majors ... Chicago’s 10 sacrifice flies ranks first … the Cubs’

72 strikeouts are the fewest in the majors.

[Mizzou]

Oh no... the Sox announcers? Come on!

[TrueBlueCubFan]

Oh no... the Sox announcers? Come on!

Hawk Harelson is hands down the worst in the business.

[Jon]

It's been a while since I've had to use the mute button.

 

But this is spring training and with and ESPN Sunday night game right away, the practice will be useful.

 

Thank goodness the game is on WGN Radio.

According to Dusty too.

 

"I have to talk to him and see how his shoulder feels," manager Dusty Baker said. "I'll probably rest him [saturday] and then go from there day to day."
