They've been playing really deep all series. Why? I have no idea.

He and Randy Johnson should conduct a hitting camp. :idea: With special instruction from Ben Sheets. And a special guest appearance from Matt Clement!

Fuld and Patton?

I love watching Ted Lilly hit. He has such an awkward swing.

Thanks, Mikey!

Jake Fox is definitely a former catcher.

Those morons seriously thought he hit it hard?

Thanks for the freebie, Prince!

I chuckled when Bob mentioned players having career days while hung over.

Yeah, Fielder's good.

Great Irish food? Does not compute.

Jeff Antigua had a nice outing for Boise: 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 4 K, 2 BB. However, they're currently down 8-0.

Castro's back in the Daytona lineup. McDaniel was solid, going 5, walking 2, striking out 7, and giving up one run.

They're under way. Reed Johnson and A-Ram didn't start, although Reed Johnson did get a PH appearance. I'm guessing the Cubs are being cautious with the wet grounds and rain. Aramis started at DH and is 0-1 with a walk. Reed took a walk too. Ahhhhhh, right. I saw Flaherty at 3B and thought they gave Rammy the day off, but forgot he could have been DHing. That makes sense.

I'm going to throw out a 2008 draftee that's quietly been putting up good numbers in Daytona. He hasn't been setting the world on fire and my gut is that his future is as a utilityman (2B/3B), but nevertheless, he's been consistent and effective at the plate and in the field. Plus, as a left hander, we know he's an organizational favorite. Jake Opitz A .290/.352/.438 line with a 25/15 K/BB ratio isn't too shabby, especially for a 12th rounder senior sign.

Apparently the Cubs signed Casey Fossum to a minor league deal. Link

The move that didn't make sense to me was IBBing Bradley. He's been making terrible contact lately.
