Little rally. :)

[cubfan75]

I have Freel and ARam on my fantasy team :pukel:

 

Nice, I do too, I picked up Freel for my backup once I traded Utley.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pagan grounded out to second, 4-3

[Butterscup1679666578]

Barrett is good.

[sethuel1]

Slap Nasty with an 0 fer

 

OBP down to .259.

 

but i think he's still fast.

 

speed kills.

speed doesn't slump

If there's one positive out of this, it's nice to see Williams not sucking.

Especially since he'll be starting for Rusch next game.

Williams is joining the rotation in the 5th spot on April 15th. We're still stuck with Rusch, who's scheduled to go again on the 16th.

[Schwarber Fan]

1 out

Please hurry back, Wood and Prior.

What do you think the odds are that Guzman gets the call up to pitch for Rusch?

I'm hoping for a callup for the Rusch spot...but I'm probably going to be disappointed.

[cubfan75]

Barrett in 5-hole = good idea!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno grounded out to third, 5-3, Hairston to second

Don't go and get my hopes up.

Rick White's picture on Gameday is humorous.

[Flames24Rulz]

let's hope Maddux has a great outing tomorrow.

About zero. Angel has only had one start and despite pitching effectively, he was anything but efficient in the first two innings. I'm guessing Hill is more likely for now, but I don't see any changes in the immediate future.

[Schwarber Fan]

ballgame

 

everyone sucked except barrett, lee and murton

 

hope the wind is blowing out tomorrow fpr the bludgeoning

[abuck1220]

pfft...let's see barrett do that when it counts.

[otis89]

Simply pahetic. Cedeno and Mabry must have taken lessons from last year's Cubs. You don't swing at the first pitch unless it's a pitch you can mash. You shouldn't swing at the first pitch just to be swinging at the first pitch.

[cubfan75]

At least Wuertz and Williams have been pretty good thus far.
