What about the D'Backs roster? Any news about that?

When I read the title I thought the Cubs had reported Cardinals the way Jets reported the Patriots...

This should be an interesting series. Great aces to start things off. Boston Red Sox Vs.

But still no official 25-man rosters yet? Just speculation?

Shut up Dan Plesac. You don't know jack about baseball. Monroe blows.

My thoughts exactly as well. They said after workouts. COME ON!!

"Did you figure out on Soto or Kendall?" - Muskat "Yeah we figured it out." - Piniella Didnt mention who.

Would somebody fix the [expletive] mic system?

Jesus. Reporters ask the stupidest questions.

Marquis has good numbers against the D'Backs. The greater fact is that he won't be starting.

Jason will be used out of the pen.

Piniella is up!

Mike Scioscia and John Lackey did their press conferences at the same time. Don't know why Cubs didnt do that.

I would keep the stream running. I think they're having problems fitting Piniella through the door.

Piniella is next.

Great, bulletin board material already I don't think he meant it to come out that way. I think he meant that the Diamondbacks won 90 games for a reason and that they were a good ball team. Didn't quite come out right though. :lol: He could've said all that without "For some reason" and it would've sounded a whole lot better.

Where's Lou?

HAHAHAHA. They already mentioned the Barrett incident. Z just smiled and said "Lets just talk about the playoffs."

Yep. Cubs press conference has started.

2:30 ct. Just the Angels...

You all remember the ending of Rookie of the Year? (Henry?) threw an underhand pitch to strike out some slugger. It was okay then... And he struck him out.

T-minus 30 hours. :(

This is Hendry's second playoff run as the Cubs GM. You cant say that about many front office people who have worked with the Cubs. That'll be strongly looked at when his contract runs out.

Am I the only one watching this? Angels are done. Does anyone know when the Cubs are scheduled?
