ST - 3/9 Brewers (Suppan) @ Cubs (Wells) 2:05 CST

[Outshined_One]

Game's starting in a few minutes and I'll be listening on WGN Radio. I fully expect Pat & Ron to be discussing cargo shorts and the mechanics of windmills by the fourth inning.

 

Lineup:

 

Theriot, SS

Fukudome, RF

Lee, D, 1B

Ramirez, A, 3B

Byrd, CF

Soriano, A, LF

Fontenot, 2B

Soto, C

Wells, R, P

Santo just interviewed Rick Sutcliffe. Talked about the 1985 season and how Sut tore his hammy trying to beat out a double play. At the time the Cubs were in first and cruising along. Two weeks later Sut is on the DL and the team is in 4th place.

 

Remember it like it was yesterday

[Outshined_One]

Rain delay. Neither pitcher has started warming up. Should be starting later.

[Bull]

Pat says skies are clearing.

[Schwarber Fan]

I remember 1985 as well. Eventually the entire starting staff was on the DL and they had AA-quality pitchers who never played in the majors again in their starting rotation. I'm sure everybody remembers Johnny Abrego and the like.

Apparently Santo lost a tooth while eating some pizza?

Apparently Santo lost a tooth while eating some pizza?

On Saturday's WGN TV game against the Sox I think Len & Bob mentioned that Santo chipped his tooth eating cheese pizza. Not sure how that is possible, but Ronny is capable of anything.

[Old Style]

Did Pat just say something about them having to keep stats in their head? LOL!

[woodchip2153]

sounds like Ronnie Woo Woo has found his way to Mesa.

Why the hell can't we get this clown out? Spring training, regular season, doesn't matter, the guy' crap on stick.

[Outshined_One]

Double for Byrd.

[Outshined_One]

Soriano with a deep double, Byrd had to hold up at 2nd and advanced to 3rd.

[BeerHere]

Double for Soriano moves Byrd to third

[BeerHere]

RBI single for Fontenot moves Soriano to third

 

1-0

[Outshined_One]

Fontenot singles in Byrd, runners at the corners.

[MWV]

Another solid couple of innings for Wells. 1 hit, 1 K, 2:2 GO:AO.

Is he going 2 or 3 today?

 

Nice to see Soriano get a hit.

Too many cooks in the kitchen. I'll stop with the updates and leave it to you OO. Gotta get back to work anyway.
