Opening Day 4-3 Cubs (Zambrano) v. Reds (Harang) 1:10 CT WGN

[Blueheart05]

Dempster in the game.

 

Bynum in LF

[C.C.]

Pagan is 2-3. I like it. I still maintain that the young guys like Murton and Cedeno are the keys to the team.

Nice bunt by Slappy.

I wouldnt be surprised to see this guy take over for Jock Strap by end of season if he keeps it up.

 

That would mean he obviously played well enough to earn it based on Dusty's past use of young players so if Pagan does pass Jones by the end of the year I would be ecstatic.

 

Dusty was quoted as saying he is really excited by the youth of his squad. However, I agree with you.

 

Let's not get too high on Pagan here. It's only 1 game.

16 runs, 1 HR. WOW! :shock:

 

The 1 HR is the part that I like the most.

[E.J.]

There are now 6 people in the stands to see the finish to this game.

[UMFan83]

Anyone else trying hard to contain their excitement, knowing what happened last year?

 

2003: W 15-3, Rest of series: 0-1

2004: W 7-4, Rest of series: 0-2

2005: W 16-5, Rest of series: 0-2

2006: Up 16-7, Rest of series: ?

 

Thoughts: Loving the speed, if this holds up all year, I owe JH a huge apology, but I'm still far from that point yet.

[Andy]

16 runs, 1 HR. WOW! :shock:

[Vinestal]

[Coach C]

[C.C.]

[BeerHere]

I agree. Last year it was homerun or bust.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Reds pen = porous

 

Fixed.

I know that Pagan will have his bad stretches, but my point was if he does end up starting over Jones towards the end of the season that it will have been an impressive rookie year.

[Radar3454]

Rollins got a double to extend his streak to 37

Hopefully with all this speed and small ball we wont have quite as much of the feast or famine offense we had last season, so we shouldn't be quite as streaky.

Pagan should have a pre-game routine or something. Then we can talk about Pagan rituals.

[sethuel1]

And now a closeup of Neifi's butt. This is a bad start to the season for the production crew.

fantastic

[WindyCity]

Rollins double in his last AB (most likely)

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Or a really, really bad year by Jacque.

But I think these stats actually count for something... :D

 

Or are these like Spring Training and don't count because its a blow out?

Jimmy Rollins has doubled to right field in the eighth inning to extend his hitting streak to 37 games.
