Hmmm, I'm able to listen to this on Gameday Audio even though I can hear it on WGN. Sweet! I think I'll listen to the Cubs on the radio and give a listen to John Miller via the Web Basehit

Yuck, I don't like this Country music version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Don't worry about Rich, he has his spot locked. Lou was quoted in the paper as saying there is only one spot in the rotation (and my guess is it's Prior's to lose).

AZ Phil over at the Cub Reporter says "Cesar Izturis looked like Ozzie Smith Redux in the 30-minute extended infield practice yesterday morning." Good, at least he'll be contributing something to the team. :lol:

The first Lou Piniella show is coming up next!

Go to Cubs.com There will be a link for the audio as it gets close to game time.

It seems to me that the Brewers are the Indians of the NLC. A number of people are picking them as the darkhorse because they are up-and-coming but I think they are at least a year away.

Thanks, I will be ordering one.

Here's Crain's Chicago Business' take, which includes some previous quotes by Cuban about the Cubs.

from this angle, Jim looks to have put back on all the weight we thought he lost Ha, I was thinking the same thing but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Those vertical stripes up close may be affecting the look versus the full length pic we had previously. I also questioned if this was new (taken today) or just newly released... http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20070217/capt.azmg20702172001.cubs_spring_baseball_azmg207.jpg I don't know if this was mentioned... but those stripes are far from vertical. I believe that we call those stripes horizontal. :wink: LMAO :oops:

Yeah Sori needs some serious work but it's still early. He could learn alot in the next month. In other news, it looked like Jacque threw a ball towards the infield on the fly. :shock:

Thanks! I'm hoping Yahoo! Sports or some other outlet gets a hold of them. The "Getty Images" name ruins the pics. Buy one cheapskate! :D Sadly, Photographers and companies have to do that thing because it is so easy to steal copyrighted images on the Web. LOL, not me. 8-) Actually, I plan to spend a good bit of money on the Cubs this year. I have a good feeling about this team!

Nice. They're talking about it now if you'd like to listen

The Score announced that Lovie & the Bears agreed to a 4 year extension that will have him in town until at least 2011. Angelo also extended through 2013. News conference tomorrow.

Link I never believed Cuban would divulge his bid amount. 8-) So you've posted like 30 times in this thread without actually reading the radar article?!?!? Thats just silly. No one claimed it was Cuban who made any sort of announcment or leak. What are you talking about? I read it but you've apparently not read this whole thread. The sentiment was that it was a legit report. I honestly never believed it but I wasn't familiar enough with Radar to come out and blast it!!! I was only comfortable saying I thought the amount in the report might be false because, again, I didn't know anything about the credibility of Radar. Seriously, read the thread before trying to put someone on blast. I don't mean to be a jerk (in this post or my last), but you need some critical reading skills. Obviously I have read the entire thread as evidenced by me pointing out (albeit through hyberbole) that you have been a very active participant in this thread. I DO have critical reading skills and noted that in order for you to write a statement such as "I never believed Cuban would divulge his bid amount", that somewhere something must have stated that Cuban was the one divulging said bid. Which is not the case if you had read the article. Ergo, my assumption that you had not read the article. If you look on the first page of this thread I posted that I didn't think this was "viable." You'll also notice that I edited it right away because I initially wrote that I didn't think it was "credible" but I thought better of it; namely because I didn't know anything about Radar. Just for the record, I read the article twice. My other posts in this thread weren't directly related to the article (like most of the other posts, mine were more in the vain of "what would happen if...") i don't want a problem with anyone but I think you called me out unfairly. My comment about his bid was related to the general idea surrounding this rumor. It didn't point back to Radar.

You're not predicting a WS winner? 8-)
