ST 3/27 Cubs (Maddux) vs White Sox (Buerhle) 2 PM Comcast TV

[noisesquared]

Len Kasper is here, so I believe this is a Cubs telecast.

 

Bruce any word on Mark Prior? I know the doc was supposed to pay a visit sometime today...Just wondering when he can resume throwing the towel or ball....

 

According to Mark O'Neal (on the Score's 12:30 update), Prior through 30-40 long tosses this morning and Prior is reportedly pain-free. No timetable for a return would be given by O'Neal.

Thanks to mhuber, Serena, and Blueheart! Now let's go Cubbies! I'll be gone for the game trying to save our school's awful girls soccer team. A Cubs win and a day with 30+ girls, what guy wouldn't love that? :lol:

 

Go Cubbies!

Good news! Hopefully we can get Wood, Miller, and Prior back by early may...

"Who's Mark Buerhle?"

 

:lol: Great burn by Maddux.

Uh oh, Dusty just said on the pregame that the Sox called and asked if they could use their DH (Thome). He agreed but we're letting Maddux hit. Come on, I would have told them no!

If worse comes to worse, we could always PH with Z.

Why? It's a spring training game. Texas was using a DH the other night when the Cubs let Zambrano hit. The result of this game is meaningless. All that matters is getting your work in. Cubs pitchers need to see some at bats, and the White Sox need to get their DH out there.

I agree and I don't have a problem with it either. It's ST games. This is a non-story really..

I know it doesn't count in the standings but I'd like to win this game.

I'd like to win to, but really it's a non-issue.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

We're still going to win. It's just going to be that much more humiliating for the Sox.

That catch just cemented the 2B job... If only we could get Hairston's D and Walkers O in one person

Joy. Let's practice wasting outs in front of our power hitters.
