Nice article about R.A. Dickey

 

My favorite quote - this is how we should all live our lives:

 

Best story: "My first time in the big leagues, we were on a road trip to Toronto, and I didn't have much to wear. I was making $1,200 a month in the Minors. Jeff Brantley asked me out to lunch. I said, 'Great, but I need to buy some slacks and stuff.' He said, 'Good, I'll go with you.'

 

"So we go to the department store, and I pick out a couple of things, take them to the dressing room and try them on. When we're done, I've got a small pile of clothes by the cash register, and he's picked out this huge pile of clothes. My stuff came to $65, his came to $1,000.

 

"He turns to me and said, 'Here, [both piles] are yours. Don't thank me, don't make a big deal of it, just do it for somebody else when you get the opportunity."

 

It'll be interesting to see how the Cubs fare against a knuckler.

What's their rank in the cactus league? Both leagues?

[BWcubs21]

Is this game on WGN Radio? Cant find out for sure.

Great story. I dislike Brantly a little less now.

The game will be on XM 179 tonight for those with access. Does anyone know if the Rangers' radio crew is bad or not?

thank you...spring training games are hit or miss on XM, it all depends on weather or not there is radio on the game in the first place

Full disclosure - I'm a Ranger fan: I think the Ranger radio crew is pretty good, especially Eric Nadel, the PBP man. Very knowlegeable about the game. But like all home announcers from another league they'll probably know a lot more about the Rangers. Let me know what you think.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I've always thought the Rangers had an excellent broadcast crew.

Second consecutive ST game with Perez starting. Should we be worried Bruce? I don't want to go through another season of Neifi "saving" us with his sub .300 OBP.

No need to worry. It's spring training. Cedeno is the starting shortstop.

[Buford T Justice]

Are you 100% positive about that Bruce? ;)

[larhur]

Anyone know who has the edge in the Hairston/Walker 2B competition?

 

I'm so happy this game is on the radio. Yesterday was brutal. I was getting the shakes and everything.

[A New Era]

I wish they could kick butt in the games that are actually telivised. But anyway, I signed up for gameday audio for this. I'm not gonna miss another ST game that's not on WGN radio!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

can anyone get the Gameday audio to work? :? i'm having issues.

[A New Era]

What issues are you having? It's not on til 9:00 p.m. central. I just signed up and thought it was screwed because it asked me to sign up again. If you goto the cubs main page and click on gameday audio the next page will show all the games in progress or archived. Cubs vs. TX isn't even live yet.
