    Shouldn't the Capulets have killed him by now? I would settle for them heckling Randazzo for squeezing Kerry.

    Oh man. Connine clearly went around on that 2-2 pitch. Montague costs the Cubs an out and a run.
  3. Jon
    Ugh. I'd sure like to see a replay on that 2-2 pitch.
  4. Jon
    Yeah. His zone hasn't looked very good today. Grady Little is managing for the Diamond Jaxx tonight.
  5. Jon
    Did I just hear Grady Little!?!
  6. Jon
    Ooooh. I think the Cubs just got a break there.

    Is that three walks for Barrett in the past two games?
  8. Jon
    Welcome back, Derrek Lee!
  9. Jon
    He has very good speed. He's worked with Vince Coleman and his base stealing is a valuable asset.
  10. Jon
    And Murton gets a ball on defense!
  11. Jon
    Why on earth would Hairston dive in head first on an play that he was easily going to beat out?
  12. Jon
    First pitch fastball clocked at 99 and 97 on two different guns.

    Where'd you get your numbers? Ohhh, another O_O-Raisin Memory Showdown... Can't wait to see who's right! Len just said 0-5. I believe Len.
  14. Jon
    It seems like Barrett has been working much deeper into the count ever since he DHed.

    Let's not talk about juice in connection with Cubs players, okay? 8) Nothing's more innocent than a juice box. Unless it's those pouches. Can't get those darn things open... That last one registered at 99 mph. Probably a little fast, but not bad for the first inning...especially with that location. No second base umpire tonight.
  16. Jon
    Yikes! That fastball had juice!

    Painful memories of Ramirez pulling a HR foul in this park.

    Notes from his interview on the pregame show: -Emotions were running high but was able to relax once he got in the box for his first AB. -It's hard for players to speculate about their chances about making the big league club. Sometimes you sit around and speculate about it, but not often. -He's more comfortable in left than right but mostly because he hasn't played as much right. -Murton didn't record an out defensively yesterday (as I thought). -He and Adam just want to play hard-nosed, fundamental baseball while they're here. -It's their job to be on base for the middle of the order. -He's been working with Vince Coleman a lot on stealing and getting a good jump. -He found out he was in the starting lineup last night 3 hours prior to the game.

    As of right now, it is dry at the ballpark.

    The only quotes I've seen or heard from his coaches have been quite complimentary about Corey working extra hard and trying to change. He spent a lot of time this offseason and this spring trying to become a leadoff hitter who makes contact and slaps the ball around. He changed many thing, including his swing, because that's what the coaches and the organization told him to do. That failed because that's not the kind of player he is. Up until he was sent down, he was still working with at least three different coaches. That article only says that he just couldn't translate what he was doing in the batting cages to onfield performance. When you get a player who's been rushed through the system, you can't just try to change him into a completely different hitter when he hasn't had much luck trying to figure out the strike zone in the majors or maintaining a consistent swing. Patterson needs to go down there and just focus on improving the swing he was comfortable with. That wasn't what the coaches had him focusing on this year. If it's stubborn to not want to turn yourself into a leadoff hitter when you know that's not the kind of player you are, I'd much rather see a stubborn Corey Patterson. Instead, he was the opposite and look at where he is now.

    A win.
  23. Jon
    Todd Jones is in for the Marlins.
  24. Jon
    Dusty said Murton will get another start this series (I'd assume tomorrow) and that Greenberg will not be in the starting lineup at all this weekend.

    Rich Hill's line: 8 IP, 5 hits, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 walks, 12 strikeouts
