3/21ST Cubs (Marquis) vs. Rangers (Wright) 3:05 CSN Chicago

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee doubled (ground rule) to right field , Blanco & Marquis scored

[cheapseats]

I sure hope that DLee doesn't pull an '05 Nomar. (Insanely hot in ST, insanely cold to start the season)

 

It happened to Aramis last year too.

 

To some extent, bad luck on BABIP happened to Aramis last year. Not much you can do about that.

[C.C.]

DLEE knocks in 2. My man-love for him continues....

I'm pretty sure that Lee is one who has always mirrored his ST stats with his performance at the start of the season. Wasn't one of the things in 2005 was that he would get plenty of at-bats in ST to get hot before the season started so as to improve his April? He did that in 2005 and 2006, and he was pretty good at the start of both of those years.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nice double by Derrek.

 

Sammy looked a little shaky out there.

[RichHillIsABeast]

That's our MVLee.

The SS could have underhanded that ball to first. Floyd looks gimpy to me.

[Brian]

I sure hope that DLee doesn't pull an '05 Nomar. (Insanely hot in ST, insanely cold to start the season)

 

And the insane groin tear. :(

 

hey, I didn't want to mention that with my known jinxing abilities :lol: I could handle being responsible for a cold month or two, not a groin tear.

You're seeing clearly! :lol:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kinsler grounded out to second, 4-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Teixeira doubled to right field

[Buford T Justice]

I was just wondering, Marquis has been pretty much throwing ground balls all spring, anyone think Lou or Larry is having work on some other pitches? Yes I'm reffering to the fly balls he's been tossing...

[98navigator]

cheapy hit for Sammy

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sosa grounded an IF single to third base , Teixeira holding second

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Sammy with an ugly infield single.

[Mephistopheles]

The Real Marquis has stood up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blalock flied out to center field , Teixeira to third

[oldstyle81]

the inning should be over

[98navigator]

Nice rebound for Marquis

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was close!

[RichHillIsABeast]

This ump sucks.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Where was that?
