welcome back dlee!!!

 

perez batting 2nd :x

[Jon]

Nice to see Lee starting.

 

Dusty must've put Neifi in front of him so he won't feel pressured to try 100% if there were men on base. Just get him a few ABs with the bases empty and ease him back into it.

[wekse]

rusch sucks

[CubinNY]

Sub in Jones for Marby and Pierre for Pagen and put Piere at the top and Hairston at the bottom and I think you have a starting line up and batting order for about 50 to 60 games this year. More if Walker is traded.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Neifi for president!

Days w/out ronny make me sad!

 

At least we have Murton to root for!

[moorecg]

I know its still fairly early spring training....well...maybe not fairly early anymore...but I'd sure like to see our everyday starting line up all out there together, in the spots where they'd hit in the regular season, sometime soon....

Watching the RSxox/Twins. Lohse pitched well. Didn't the Cubs have him? Was he part of the Aquilera deal?

Yep! Drafted by the Cubs in 1996.

yes and yes. speaking of lohse btw, is gallagher a lohse type pitcher or does he have a higher ceiling?

That is correct.

[Bruce Miles]

Mariners 1st:

Vina grounds out to Lee unassisted

Bloomquist walks and steal second.

Ibanez singles to left, scoring Bloomquist.

Petagine strikes out and Ibanez is caught stealing.

1-0 Mariners

[C.C.]

1-0 Seattle. Good job in the first Rusch.

[BeerHere]

According to the ESPN2 crawl, Cubs are down 1-0 in the top of the first. Although I think it's been the top of the first for about an hour.

[Bruce Miles]

ARAM is looking great this spring. He's hitting everything...

[louisvillecub]

It's infuriating to have Hairston and Neifi at the top of the order :x

Thanks, Bruce.

 

That brings back all those good memories from 2005. Let's just hope Ramirez can keep up his near 1.600 OPS.

[rawaction]

ARam is on fire

 

ARAM's turn for the career year ala Lee in 05. Lee and Ramirez could be the best 3-4 in the NL this season.
