3/18ST Cubs (Z!) @ Angels (Lackey) 3:05CT CSN & WGN 720

[Fred Hornkohl]

Should I watch this game or grade papers? :-k

 

I can't believe you have to ask that question !! :shock:

 

I'm going to try to do both. I have a large stack of research papers that I've been putting off grading all week.

 

Priorities, man...... Priorities !!!

Is that Bruce's voice on the pregame show? I missed the introduction.

 

Edit: That was Bruce Miles

 

He said, barring a trade, the 25th man is coming down to Cedeno and Tomas Perez. Lou has taken Ronny aside a few times to help him with his hitting. The decision may come down to whether or not the Cubs feel Cedeno needs to play everyday at AAA.

 

Daryle Ward hasn't looked good this Spring but it's partially because he has been slowed by illness...

 

He expects Murton to get considerable playing (starting) time. As a result, Floyd will be a great addition to the bench (along with Ward).

 

Ron Santo brought up Rocky Cherry's chances to make the team and Bruce echoed those sentiments. Adding that he expects Cherry to be in camp until the end...

 

When prompted, Bruce says he sees the current roster at about 87 victories and probably more with in-season moves.

 

He also liked that Lou told Theriot, relatively early in camp, that he'd made the team.

Yes it is.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Sweet, the game is on TV in Southern California - Fox Sports West and AM 710.

If you missed it:

 

Teddy Greenstein/Tribune

 

Family commitments will keep Cubs analyst Bob Brenly from broadcasting some spring training games that were added to Comcast SportsNet's schedule. Dan Plesac will fill in for five of CSN's remaining seven games. Brenly will work WGN's remaining three games

 

Does anyone find it awkward he's only available for WGN's games?

[Fred Hornkohl]

No, it's just those games were in the contract earlier. CSN decided to add a few games a month or two ago to their schedule, and by that time Brenly had apparently scheduled things for those days that he apparently didn't want to get out of.
