Cant get a guy in with less than 2 outs. Jesus Christ

Just get the 2 remaining runners in please

Wouldve been 3-0

Get some damn runs, NOW please!

Wow.Dewit. YES

Cant even get him over to 3rd. Ugh

Z has really lost that velocity on his fastball. Every pitch is at 87 or 89 and maybe hit 91 once. He used to consistenly throw 93-96

Great to see Byrd carry his spring training hitting over to real games that now count. :roll:

Ok, I liked seein that

Same [expletive] as last year. 2nd game of this season and Im already frustrated.

Wow..They actually made a move that made the most logical sense and what we all hoped for..I am in disbelief.

Just seen this posted on Roto so thought Id post here. Nothing big Cubs manager Mike Quade indicated Monday that Blake DeWitt's spot on the roster is not safe. "Right now he does, but there’s some guys pushing, and we aint left yet," said Quade. It appeared that the Cubs were going to use a platoon at second base, but DeWitt is batting just .163 (7-for-43) with a 4/0 K/BB ratio this spring. Jeff Baker could very well win the job outright, while Darwin Barney has pushed for more playing time by batting .371 (13-for-35) this spring.

I <3 Castro

Well this sucks for Cashner

Pena just murdered that ball..

I would like every game of the upcoming season to start like it has with Fukudome and Castro

Garza off to a craptastic start. Just recorded 1st out. Gave up 2 BB and an ER before that Now 5 ER with 3 BB with 1 out recorded. I know it's only ST, but still.

Details finally out..We all knew he has problems..But damn.. According to RadarOnline.com, Milton Bradley threw a glass coffee table at his wife during an argument on New Year's Eve while the couple was in New York City. Bradley's wife filed a restraining order against him soon after the incident. "The glass shattered on my head and I started to bleed," Monique Bradley stated in a court-registered filing. "As soon as Milton saw me bleeding, he started crying and begging me to forgive him. He stated that he lost it and that he would kill himself if I left him. I did not know what to do." She is now seeking a divorce. Source: RadarOnline.com

Well it's official now. Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak confirmed Thursday that Adam Wainwright will undergo Tommy John surgery. Source: B.J. Rains on Twitter

Just seen this on Roto and thought Id post it. According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, some rival executives fully expect that the Cubs will be serious bidders for Albert Pujols if he becomes a free agent. Just what Cardinals fans want to hear right now. "They are in the best position to get him, if he's willing to leave the Cardinals," said one general manager. "The Red Sox and Yankees won't be in it, and if the Cubs get him, it could hurt their [primary] rivals for years. They're in a position to do serious damage to the Cardinals, because he's such an icon there." The Cubs have a number of contracts coming off the books after the 2011 season, including Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena, so they should be in excellent position to make a lucrative offer

Cardinals officials believe Adam Wainwright will likely need Tommy John surgery.

Rotoworld Carlos Pena said he would be open to discussing an extension with the Cubs at any time. Obviously it's not going to happen anytime soon, as the Cubs signed him to a one-year, $10 million deal just a couple months ago. It's possible the team could be interested in extending him if he gets off to a nice start, though. However, that would rule them out for free-agent-to-be Albert Pujols, and the Cubs have been among the teams most prominently mentioned as a possible landing spot for the best player in the game.

Yes, he actually did take a swig from a bottle in front of a cop. FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera was arrested late Wednesday on drunken driving charges in Florida, police said, the latest episode for the first baseman who has struggled with a drinking problem. Cabrera, 27, was spotted by a deputy in a car with its engine smoking alongside a road in Fort Pierce. Inside the vehicle, Cabrera smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and took a swig from a bottle of scotch in front of a deputy, according to St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said. He refused to cooperate and more deputies were called to the scene. He was wandering into the road with his hands up before he was handcuffed, the report said. According to the report, Cabrera kept saying, "Do you know who I am? You don't know anything about my problems," and cursed at deputies who tried to get him into a patrol car. One deputy struck Cabrera in the left thigh several times with his knee after Cabrera pushed into him, causing the ballplayer to fall into the patrol car. Cabrera refused to take a breath test, deputies said. He was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and resisting an officer without violence. He posted $1,350 bond and was released from jail early Thursday. The arrest occurred about 110 miles southeast of Lakeland, where the Tigers hold spring training. In 2009, the All-Star first baseman got into a fight with his wife after a night of drinking, right before his team surrendered the AL Central Division title to the Twins. Police said Cabrera had a 0.26 blood-alcohol reading -- three times above Michigan's legal limit for driving -- and Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski had to pick up Cabrera at the station. No charges were filed. During spring training last year, Cabrera said he was done drinking alcohol after he spent much of the offseason in counseling. "You guys write in the paper 'alcoholic.' That's not right," he said last March. "I don't know how to explain, but it's not an alcohol problem." Cabrera, who was the American League runner-up in MVP voting after the 2010 season, signed an eight-year, $152.3 million extension with the Tigers in 2008. He is under contract until the 2015 season. When an officer told Cabrera to get into his patrol vehicle, the five-time All-Star said "(Expletive) you." He also told the officer "do you know who I am?" and made reference to someone who wasn't at the scene, saying, "I’m going (expletive) kill him." Officers had to deliver "3-4 knee spikes" into Cabrera’s left thigh to get him to cooperate. Cabrera also "kept running out in the road with his hands up" and was described as "belligerent, cocky, combative and argumentative" in the police report. It's a really ugly situation. The Tigers have yet to officially comment on the matter. Sheriffs Photo http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/0217/mlb_a_cabreram_200.jpg

A "competing" baseball executive told SI.com's Jon Heyman that he believes the Cubs will make a 10-year, $275 million offer to Albert Pujols if he hits free agency. We don't doubt it. The Cubs have a ton of money coming off the books in the winter of 2011 and would be able to support a massive offer for the man who has done so much damage against them. But this isn't really news -- it's just speculation and hype for now. Pujols has stated a desire to cut off all talks regarding a contract extension once he arrives at spring training, but it's not like the Cardinals won't try to re-sign him throughout the summer and early fall. For now, Albert is far from available. Related: CubsSource: Jon Heyman on Twitter Feb 14, 11:20:00

Roto A source told USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale that Albert Pujols has rejected a contract proposal from the Cardinals. It's been long reported that the Cardinals hadn't made an offer, but according to Nightengale's source they did recently and Pujols turned it down. The source goes on to say that, barring a dramatic turnaround, Pujols will announce Tuesday that no additional contract talks will take place until after the World Series. Pujols is believed to be requesting a 10-year deal.
