Z! No more needs to be said.

[Guest]

The Giants are sending a split squad. Tim Lincecum starts their other game against the Mariners.

 

It should be sunny and 79°F at game time.

No XM broadcast for this game :(

[CubmanPi]

If Zambrano starts, your in trouble

[C.C.]

Let's see if these losers can squeak out two in a row.

Fear the wrath of Hank White!

 

I also would have expected ARam to start today.

I shudder to consider the spot the Cubs would have to be in for this lineup to happen in the regular season. :)

[C.C.]

I'm calling out a Pie HR today.

 

I'm also going out on a limb and say Fuku's going to get on-base today.

i am looking forward to watching fontenot's bat dwindle as march progresses...

 

the kid always starts out hot and then turns into a popsicle

Really sucks there is no radio on this! I was hoping to cap the week off by wasting away my friday afternoon at work listening to the Cubs and Big Z. :(

Thanks Bruce. In regard to Pie, what is he going to have to do to win the CF spot and end the whole Crisp speculation?

[UMFan83]

^ Hit better than he did in Winter Ball

Ramirez is gonna sit out one or two more days due to some soreness in his right shoulder, according to Bruce Levine.

Thanks I was about to ask this.

 

For those who care (me and probably on one else) the Dodgers and Braves are going

 

Kuroda is getting the start for the Dodgers.

[Mephistopheles]

lol theyre going gaga over Andruw Jones RBI totals and are amazed about how he got that many last year.

 

 

Answer: Chipper batted in front of him and hit: .337/.425/.604. Rentawreck batted in front of Chipper and hit: .332/.390/.470 and Kelly Johnson hit in front of them and hit .276/.375/.457.

 

My god it isn't rocket science you ****ing idiots. a third of his PAs came in situations with runners in scoring position. that's ridiculous.

 

idiots

[Guest]

I care. How's Hiroki doing?

[Mephistopheles]

that was one hell of a play by yunel escobar. he's got a cannon. as usual chipper boots the ball and escobar picks it up and guns out the runner.

 

 

hes doing all right. sitting 91-92. hasnt really used anything but the fastball now. he threw a splitter (i think? it was at 86) that hung and was ripped up the middle for a single courtesy of kelly johnson.
