Take plenty of pics/vid plz. :D

 

Only thing I'll have is my cell phone, which takes crappy pics and no vids...lo siento.

Game 3 with the Jaxx for NSBB Correspondent Nomar Garciaparra!

[JGalt73]

Hmm...Oregon is Cubs central today - noon Iowa Cubs road game in downtown Portland (5 miles away), followed by an evening Boise Hawks game 40 minutes south in Keizer... Let's play two!

[Chris]

I want to remind everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to ask questions to the Diamond Jaxx players that have agreed to do a Q & A session.

 

In addition, I received Jeff Parker's responses to his Q & A session. It will be posted later today!

[otis89]

Go Nomar, Wood, and Williamson!

[E.J.]

Bobby Brownlie is starting for Iowa today. No reason given yet for why he's starting instead of Valdez.

 

Cubs scored a run in top of first on 3 straight singles. Brownlie gave up a run in the bottom of the first. It's 1-1 going into the top of the 2nd.

[E.J.]

Cpatt is 0-2 so far today with a pop up to the 3rd baseman in foul territory and a flyout to left field. Looks like he's at least trying to go the other way.

[E.J.]

Kelton goes yard for Iowa. Solo shot in the top of the 4th. It's 2-1 Cubs.

[wvcbxl]

Williamson coming in for the bottom 6th - Cubs trailing 3-2

[wvcbxl]

And Scott send them down 1-2-3

Two K's split up by a flyball to Kelton.

Sounds like he's ready. :D

[Brian]

Hmmmm. Raul was used in relief. I wonder what the motivation to flip Brownlie & Valdez from pen to starting???

[Jon]

Not that Brownlie should be starting, but it's about time they get a look at Valdes out of the 'pen.

 

Speaking of which, when did they change the spelling from "Valdez" to "Valdes?"

[JohnCub1]

Iowa wins and JVB and Talley Haines each with another scoreless inning. Both have ERA's under 2. Does anyone know what Haines throws? I know a little about JVB, but I know nothing about Haines.

I'm pretty sure I read that Haines' best pitch is a "plus-plus" change.

[abuck1220]

two walks for corey...one intentional.

[Chris]

The game is underway in Jackson, Gwynn, Jr. on second with 2 outs

[Chris]

Just like that the Stars are up 1-0

[Chris]

1 run, 3 hits, 2 LOB, Stars up 1-0 to the bottom of the 1st

[Chris]

Nomar's first AB:

 

Pitch 1: strike (Bacon stealing his 32nd base)

Pitch 2: grounder to 3rd for the out

[Jon]

Any word on how long Nomar is expected to play tonight? I missed most of the pre-game.

 

Bacon steals third.
