Bruce,

Neifi batting second is not a sign of whats to come is it?

 

Dude, it's ST and be's batted all over the place. I doubt you can read into it at all. AFterall we have 4 2nd basemen playing in the same line up today, and I doubt that's an indication of what's to come.

[RyCubsFan]

Eagerly awaiting reports about Guzman...

 

Is there a radar gun there?

Has Cedeno ever played second?

No, not on a regular basis.

 

Thanks Bruce, just had to ask cause you never can be too sure with Dusty.

Perez homer to right.

I'll do what I can until I have to go downstairs to the clubhouse.

 

 

 

Thanks, Bruce...

 

I wonder what Cedeno was thinking when Neifi homered...

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I wonder what Cedeno was thinking when Neifi homered...

 

Same thing I was, "he still sucks".

[UBlink]

 

Thanks, Bruce...

Let's hope it was go Cubs. We've got enough people running around with personal agendas.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Seems like Angel had some control problems in the first.

4-2 Cubs now in the bottom of the first. Seems like Guzman got roughed up a bit. Will one of these guys step up or what?

[Bruce Miles]

Somebody has to want to be in this rotation. Right now it's Zambrano, Maddux and nobody is stepping up. Angel usually has better control.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Come on, Gooz!

Yeah he does, pretty dissapointing that he is struggling so much with control. So in 5 innings this ST he has 5 walks, hope he gets a handle on his control.

How many innings has Guzman thrown this Spring? Seems like not a lot. He was pretty wild in the AFL at first as well. But once he got some innings in under his belt he turned it around. Hopefully he can pull a J. Williams and throw some shut-out ball for the remainder of the game.

[Bruce Miles]

Cubs 2nd

 

Cedeno pops out to short

Guzman grounds out 6-3

Hairston lines another single to left

Perez pops out to first.

Guzman came in with 4 IP in Cactus League games this spring plus another 3 in a sim game last week.
