4/6-OPENING DAY-Cubs (Z!) @ Astros (Oswalt) - 6:05 CSN/ESPN2

[kujay]

One up, one down.

So are we going to see So Taguchi now or is he not on the team anymore?

[Keener98]

Just like I thought, Kosuke stinkin' it up in the 2 hole...

 

Yeah its one game. Give him a couple weeks at least. He was swinging the bat decently the last week of Spring.

 

Yea thats not going to happen. If he hasnt done anything by the time the Cubs open up in Wrigley, the boos will be there.

 

 

And Jesus Bradley about breaks his freaking ankle running to 1st base, wow

 

I don't think the boos matter. He's just gotta get a couple consistent weeks of platoon time for the team to judge whether he's improved on last year. Ideally it would be even more time since the rest of the lineup seems like it will pick up the slack, but I understand Lou is impatient and demands results.

 

The boos dont matter per se, but all it will do is make him press even more. You know they guy wants to succeed, and if he starts off slow, and the fans are on his ass, there is a high probability of things going south.

Not on team.

 

Backup OFs are Gathright, Reed Johnson and I guess Hoffpauir sorta.

[cubswin2009]

Don't fool around Carlos.

[radarluv1]

its nice having 3 weak hitting CFers on the team

[Hall7810]

Will Pudge walk?

[kujay]

He doesn't seem to be quite as sharp with the slider right now.

[Sorianos hop]

:D)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rodriguez grounded out to short, 6-3

I didn't figure he was on the roster now is, I guess I was wondering if he was on the Iowa Cubs roster? (I know I didn't phrase it that way at all)

I'm no foot doc, but that didn't look anything more than an ankle roll.

 

Edit: He's on the field!

Good question. I know he got sent to AAA, I don't know if he accepted the send down. Someone else could probably answer that better than I.

the last pitch was vintage

clear question, that's been answered

[CubInOK]

Season over.

[cubswin2009]

Please no walks

[Ski]

Good to know strike 3 is a ball.

[kujay]

That was strike 3.

[Mark_R]

Bagwell looks like a bad actor on a daytime soap opera

[Keener98]

FINISH HIM!!!

[erik316wttn]

That was strike 3.

 

damn right it was

not always though. I pretty much did the same thing once and it severely strained my achilles tendon. was on crutches for weeks.
