ST 3/25 Cubs (Marshall) vs A's & Cubs (Williams) @ Royal

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Stairs grounds into what should have been a DP, but Ramirez was at SS because of the shift...the ball went to Neifi at the 2b side...Ramirez can't turn the pivot so Stairs safe at first on a FC.

 

One out.

 

Berroa doubles. Stairs holds at third.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

williams needs a good outing today. wonder if he's looking over his shoulder with the youngsters pitching so well.

 

by the way, walker drives a sweet mustang.

 

I think Williams is pretty much guaranteed his spot with injuries to Wood and Prior.

[Omar]

Walker bloop singles.

[CubinNY]

Walker with a Texas leaguer.

 

I [heart] Todd Walker.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

nice flare, TWalk!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Gordon grounds out to first, Stairs scores. 2 out. Berroa moves to third.

[Omar]

4-6-3 to end the 2nd.

Why does Moore have a clue on what to do at the plate and Jones does not?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

meh. just strike out next time, Moore.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

At least Jones only got himself out. :lol:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

German singles. Berroa scores.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

German steals second.

I hope Harvey works out b/c I'd hate to see RF become like 3rd base after Santo left

Sammy

Burnitz

Jones

True. He may do that a lot this year if he continues to swing like that.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bako pops out. End of 2,

 

Cubs 4, Royals 2.

If he comes in under 100 Ks for the year, I'll be amazed.

[Outshined_One]

Marshall likes to live dangerously.

[CubinNY]

I thought I heard Ronnie Woo Woo.

 

Last year when the Cubs played the Yankees I saw Woo Woo in Yankee stadium. How he got there I have no idea.

Speaking of not having a clue at the plate I hope Harvey learns some pitch recognition this year. I think the Cubbies will have a decent RF by 2010. I think this Santo thing was too hyped up and don't forget about Madlock because he was a heck of a hitter.

[Outshined_One]

Beautiful turn from Cedeno there!

[Jon]

What a beautiful play by Cedeno.

[Omar]

Double play! Inning over.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nice play by Cedeno!
