Peoria isin the second inning, and low and behold their only hit belongs to Joshua Vitters with a double.

[Guest]

And it wasn't a cheapy:

 

Josh Vitters doubles (1) on a line drive to left fielder Andrew Lambo.

[biittner77]

First person to post only his name in capital letters is banned.

[illiniguy]

Why is he batting 8th?

[Guest]

Vitters strikes out the second time around. He also has a throwing error; he's had 3 plays in the field so far.

[Guest]

Colvin is 1/3 with his 3rd HR of the year.

 

Harben with a rough outing. Only recorded one out, gave up 3 earned runs and 3 walks.

[Guest]

Annnnnd now a second double for Vitters. Again on a line drive to left field.

 

2/3, 2 doubles, 2 runs, 1 K, 1 throwing error

[HendrysBottomFeeders]

3/4 - 3 doubles and an RBI now..

 

Impressive debut if I must say so myself.

[Guest]

Josh Vitters finishes up 3/4 with 3 doubles (the 3rd to CF). Peoria does lose 7-4.

 

Bust.

Respect the Avy.

Bust.

 

3rd double would have been out at most parks but the wall in LCF here is 15-20 feet high. he didnt get any cheap doubles. They were all smoked.

 

The error, he took his time then just air mailed 1st base by about 5 feet.

I got a good look at the I-Cubs opponent for the next four days, the OK Redhawks. I went to the Tuesday - Thursday games in OKC against Round Rock. The I-Cubs rotation will face an excellent lineup and a solid rotation featuring none other than a very rejuvinated Sidney Ponson, who will start on Monday. The 'Hawks are in first place and their only real weakness is defensively, though Nelson Cruz has one of the better arms I've seen in awhile.

 

Incidently, I saw Kaz Matsui rehabbing from, that's right, hemorrhoids.

Perhaps a Cub first round pick will be a wild, injury-free success? Should I knock on wood?
