Now it is time to lock up D-Lee. Not sure what other people think of Jim Hendry but I like the moves he has made, and I'm glad to see he got an extension he deserved it.
I think Blanco should get the start tomarrow also with Marshall making his MLB debut. Blanco is a veteran and knows how to call a game behind the plate.
I didnt get a chance to watch the game today, but from what i heard Mike Barrett played like garbage. As a catcher your job is to catch the ball, block the ball and call a game. Boy do i wish the Cubs still had Damian Miller.
Prediction: Jerry Hairston gets a pinch hit RBI single in the ninth to give the cubs a 4-3 lead, and Ryan Dempster shuts the door in the bottom half of the ninth. Go Cubs
Mitre did have back to back quality starts against the Marlins and BlueJays last year. He out pitched Roy Halladay that day, and Halladay is one hell of a pitcher.
Nice to know Rick Kranitz can change Mitre's mechanics in a couple of months and Larry Rotchschild has no freaking clue. Mitre looked solid last night against the Astros. He had the Astors hitter off balnce the entire game. He was throwing that heavy sinker down and in on right handers. Wonder if Rick Krantiz could of helped change Kerry's mechanics. Probably could help him from throwing across his body, which causes the shoulder to flare up all the time.
Cubs ruffed up Arroyo last year when he was with the Red Sox, I like the cubs chances. Lets just hope they can build off this game and start the season with a winning streak. Go Cubs
