CL: 3/16 Angels (Green) @ Cubs (Z!) 3:05 CST WGN/720

[Jon]

Z looks good. He's had a strong Spring. I just get that feeling that this is the year that Z is going to take it to another level.

One can hope, but he's been down this road before at the beginning of the season.

 

Spring Training 2005 - 1.35 ERA, 18 K, 5 BB, 1.15 WHIP

April 2005 - 4.34 ERA, 27 K, 12 BB

Spring Training 2006 - 3.79 ERA, 20 K, 4 BB, 1.00 WHIP

Bases juiced, 1 out, DLEE is up.

[C.C.]

Soriano in midseason form. Idiot.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

lmao at Soriano.

[BeerHere]

Was he picked off?

[C.C.]

Was he picked off?

 

No...The Second baseman dropped the ball on a force out, and Soriano just started to walk away because he thought he was out. The play was right in front of him, and he saw the ball was dropped. I have no idea what he was thinking.

[PrimeTime]

He had to see that ball on the ground..He was looking right at it..You would think after the boneheaded things he did last year hed be more careful and observant..Guess not

Maybe he thought he dropped the ball on the hand transfer. That's the only thing that would make sense.

Yep. 3-0 Cobs. Beer the game is on WGN today.

[C.C.]

Hitters don't have a chance against the big man today.

Pie gave it a ride, but it wasn't deep enough.

that's because pie's supposed to be slapping it on the ground every at bat, right gordon wittenmyer?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Fontenot handled that 3-6-3 DP well enough. Maybe he can perform satisfactorily enough to be carried as a legitimate option on the bench.

[AllStarMe]

Z is freakin dealing today, 5 IP 0 H 0 R.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let's hope he can put up a similar line on Opening Day.

[TruffleShuffle]

dusty would leave him in to go for the spring training no-hitter.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Lee has been brutal this spring.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pie badly misplayed that one...he got all twisted up like his injured testicle.

Ha! That was a terrible route.

[BCVM22]

Looked to me like he had to pull up so he didn't get Hoffpauir'd.

[C.C.]

That'll be it for Z. Edited March 16, 2008 by C.C.

[E.J.]

Z is awesome. Hope he has a good season this year.
