    WALKER!

    Hard to really plan it, though. The odds of getting a good pitch to lay down like that aren't all that high. And you usually only get one shot. Did they have a play on Cedeno at first? Now I know what it was like for Padres fans to watch their team play the Cubs.

    The beauty of sacrificing with a runner on 2nd and your 8 and 9 hitters coming up.
  4. Jon
    Alright. What I'd give for a first-inning run.
  5. Jon
    Wasn't exactly a thing of beauty, but a quick 1-2-3 inning for Marshall.
  6. Jon
    Thank you, Soriano.

    Why exactly does Will Carroll love Juan Pierre so much? Is this just because it's on WGN Radio? And now I remember why I stopped listening to Sports Central a while ago.

    Tarp coming off and they're saying 7:55. I don't really get why they put the tarp back on. If it was going to rain, it was going to be minimal. And it didn't.
  9. Jon
    Well, Robinson will manage afterall. If they put the tarp back on, it won't be for long.

    It's not just that Zimmerman was a rookie last year, but also that he only had 58 ABs.

    Rammy told Dusty to move him down. Unfortunately for Dusty, he just wasted a golden opportunity to tell Mazur that Ramirez also told him to bat Neifi in the two-spot.
  12. Jon
    I change my guess to 7:23.

    According to Rothschild, Prior will pitch in Mesa against the rookies on Friday and will throw 40-45 pitches/2 or 3 innings. In response to the arm strength issue, he did say that it's definitely headed in the right direction. If they only go with 1 start in AZ and 2 rehab starts, I'll scratch my head. Are they that desperate to push him faster than Wood (from when Kerry started throwing to rookies)?
  14. Jon
    Two rational lineups in a row. If we see a third tomorrow, though, I'll be stunned. Good old day game after a night game. I'm going to take a guess and say this game starts at 7:45.
  15. Jon
    There are field box seats behind home plate available for Wood's season debut tomorrow. It's a value date, too.
  16. Jon
    Frank Robinson will not manage tonight, according to the AP, because of back spasms.

    Both Hendry and MacPhail said several times afterwards that they had no interest whatsoever in a contract that long, let alone for that much. both good trib men. the bottom line is that the trib hired these guys to "mismanage" $100 million. the buck stops w/ the trib. giving the trib a continual pass is equivalent to blaming everyone except bush when things go wrong. if i got a dollar for every time i've heard it's someone elses fault, not bush.... :lol: What part did the Tribune Co. have in Hendry's hiring? And if they had a say in his promotion to GM, I doubt it was significant. But what does that have to do with them not going crazy in the FA market and committing $17 million a year to a single player for 7 years? Hendry did want Beltran, but was not willing to go that far. And that was the right decision. MacPhail has his job cause of the trib. he hired hendry right... And he hired Gary Hughes, but that doesn't make him a Trib guy, either. The Tribune Co. is not involved in daily baseball operations. That's why they brought in MacPhail to fill a spot that desperately needed filling. The Tribune Co.'s only job is to fund the organization.

    Sadly, it only lasted for about five seconds here. But the radar doesn't look that bad. It'll probably start under a delay, but right now, it doesn't look that bad for tonight.

    Now this is a promotion! About 20 years too late for me, but hopefully it'll help attendance.

    Questionable and inconsistent at best.
  23. Jon
    Wow!
  24. Jon
    Nicely setup. About time, too.
  25. Jon
    Psht, where's the Jeter-like clutchness?
