Outshined_One

Thanks for the report! Chirinos is about to be 25 years old and it seems like he's been with the organization forever. I hope he'll be a success, but he's old for his league and has had quite some time with the Cubs. I can't say I'm overly excited for him.

Hate it when the ball sounds good off the bat, but drops well short of the warning track. :evil:

You ever been in a Turkish prison?

Screw this.

Okay, now we need five more of those in a row to make up for Marshall's first.

Hey there sissy. Nice car. Does it come with a pink handbag? It doesn't? Then you're just driving a freaking lawnmower.

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.

Considering the Dodgers have only had one hard hit ball, I'm willing to give Marshall a pass on this game. ...for now.

That sucked.

Bloops and seeing eye singles Guh.

More garbage hits.

Did Joe Morgan just say "on base percentage"? Am I hallucinating?

What the hell is Steve Philips talking about? Pierre was complaining to no end when he wasn't playing.

This Juan Pierre lovefest is sickening.

Someone get that 12 year old off the field. He could hurt himself out there.

Apparently Juan Pierre is as good as Manny Ramirez. :-s

Two games in a row where I'll have mute on. This should be a fun night.

WHY.

Daytona's destroying Sarasota 10-1 as we speak. Andrew Cashner had a solid start, going 4 scoreless, striking out 1, and only allowing 3 baserunners (2 H, 1 BB). Jovan Rosa also has two doubles to his name.

Is it me, or would it make more sense to have Scales at 3B and Fontenot at 2B?

Good choice. I also like Penn Station.

Also, the EXST Cubs did rather well yesterday.

The DSL Cubs got their season under way yesterday. I'm going to do some more digging on these guys, but it seems that DSL Cubs 2 is the team with the better prospects on it. The Cubs' major signings from Latin America last year are all on that team: 3B Joel Altagracia ($140,000, 17 years old), SS Carlos Henry ($110,000, 17 years old), and C Ricardo Parra (17 years old). I can't say I'm particularly familiar with anyone else on either squad, though. So, the box score listings should be a fun exercise in guessing games until things start shaking out.

Thanks for the link!
