Check out Jacque Jones since he got his first hit....... 04/09 - 04/18 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Jones 13 2 4 0 0 1 7 3 1 1 0.308 0.357 0.538 0.896 I know it's a ridiculously small sample..... be let's hope it's at least a sign of better days ahead.

He had a nice 3 for 4 with a HR against Cincinnati on 11 April..... then down the tubes. *nods in agreement* I see Corey Patterson hit a HR for the Orioles. What's his BA now? He started today hitting .067 He's 2 for 3 so far tonight...... and up to .167

He had a nice 3 for 4 with a HR against Cincinnati on 11 April..... then down the tubes. *nods in agreement* I see Corey Patterson hit a HR for the Orioles. Quick! Trade Barrett for CPatt! 8) OK, now let's don't overreact here. :wink:

Thank you there, young fellow !!

Thought occurs to me...... if the Dodgers had never left Brooklyn, this game would be half over already !!

OK... now that makes things a whole lot clearer.

Thanx for the tip. If I go, it'll be for all 3 games. Just one question..... who or what is Raley ? Actually it's a four game series Monday through Thursday. The name comes from the family that owns the Raley's Supermarkets chain. According to my schedule, the game on Monday night is in San Diego. Have the Raley's interests bought up the naming rights to the park. I thought some successor entity of Pacific Bell still held the rights ?

Relax.... they'll be in San Francisco in just 3 short weeks !! :wink: I'm ticked about that because the series is Tuesday through Thursday and I have class late Tuesday and Wednesday and early Thursday so there was no chance I could go to any of the games. Why couldn't they have played on a weekend like last year? BLAST!! At least I'll get to see the Iowa Cubs in Sacramento at the end of May. 8) My brother in law in Sacramento has been pestering me to come out for that series. I may just take him up on it. I've never seen [insert latest corporate sponsor name here] Park yet.

Relax.... they'll be in San Francisco in just 3 short weeks !! :wink:

I've been a fan of Ohman's since he came up the first time. Can't relly tell you why.... I just like the guy for some reason. My first reaction when he came into the game last night was that this could be a real boost to his confidence, being put in with the game on the line like this. Oh well..... the silver lining in all of this..... he actually lowered his ERA with this appearance.

In a shameless effort to pad my post count..... I give you these worthless stats for Wednesday....... CUBS are 11-14 on Wednesdays CUBS are 4-2 vs. Los Angeles CUBS are 38-38 at night. CUBS are 41-39 on the road. CUBS are 61-29 when they get a quality start,... 18-54 when they don't CUBS are 49-19 when they score first,.... 30-63 when they don't CUBS are 28-21 in games that end a series Sean Marshall is making his third major league start.
