Hoffpauir with an rbi double in the first inning as he hooked an inside offspeed pitch down the line, but kept it fair in the corner.

[Guest]

And now Hoff makes a "spectacular" diving catch in the rf-cf gap for the second out of the bottom half.

[Guest]

And with the help of hoff's catch, demp sets the A's down in order in the first.

[Guest]

And now Fox is displaying the dropsies while playing 1B.

 

He needs to go to the AL. :(

[YearofDaCubs]

I'm starting to think we might be better off Starting Hoff over Lee on a daily basis. I doubt it happens this year though.

[Guest]

Cajun connection leads to a second run. Theriot hits a leadoff triple and Fontenot lines a single to right to score the run.

[Guest]

Theriot again...drives in a run on (you guessed it) an opposite field single. The pitcher played into his game by giving him a strike low and away with Reed Johnson in scoring position.

[bukie]

Does Theriot actually go the opposite way a lot more often than he pulls the ball, or is that another case of my perception lying to me?

[otis89]

Sounds like Lee got all of that ball and then some!

[Soul]

I know it's too much to ask but I wish MLB.com would have gameday for ST games.

Kewl. Thanks for the link. Not sure why MLB.com doesn't have the little green icon on the scoreboard, which is where I'm used to seeing the gameday links.

[MWV]

No problem, although I post that link with the caveat that it doesn't update very often and the pitch counts should not be trusted!

the cajun connection is en fuego

[Guest]

The Cubs should face Edgar Gonzalez more often.

[Soul]

I find it interesting how much better Scales' 2008 was than any other year he's had. His OPS was more than 100 points higher than his career average. And he's been around for awhile.

[Shilzzz]

is it really 17-5?

[BCVM22]

is it really 17-5?

Fontenot needs to stay hot. I fear Aaron Miles.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Wow, now thats what they call opening a can. Pitching looking good too.

unless fontenot craps the bed for the first few weeks, i don't fear aaron miles. what i fear about aaron miles is him getting a lot of playing time when a-ram gets hurt.

[TruffleShuffle]

the cubs make it to 20 on a home run by... paul bako. his fourth hit of the day.

[Tryptamine]

20 runs with only two home runs, one of those being a solo shot. Save some for the season boys.
