    Daytona down 5-3 in the middle of the 8th. Grant Johnson gave up 5 earned in 5.2 innings. Apparently he was nibbling a bit and just couldn't finish off hitters with 2 strikes today. Jake Fox is 1 for 4 with a single and a strikeout. Aaron Weston has a solo HR. Ryan Harvey's BA is down to .194. Tim Layden has looked good in relief.

    More marine layer in San Diego tonight (heh, what did you expect, it's May), meaning it's going to be near impossible to hit a HR.

    Aww, Augie stopped short!

    Actually, Yepez has a blister and was skipped. Atkins came back to today because of the off day Wednesday. Wood will be follwed by the pen. Veal, Blackford, Yepez and Taylor in Ft. Wayne...Atkins starts game 1 in So Bend. Oh, thanks Nathan! It doesn't sound too serious if he's expected back next time around. Did the blister affect his last start where he walked 7 in 4 innings?
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Pretty easy question.

    Every single offseason. When's the last time we signed a top-tier free agent? Yes, we have a high payroll, but we also make a lot more than most other teams. Pointing out that the Trib spends more than Tampa Bay or Kansas City or Cincinnati is fine, but they should be spending more because they make more. The Cubs spend more on awdul players. Poor management decisions. I agree with Serena. It's time to start afresh.

    So why don't teams just pitch around Pujols?
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Dude, it wasn't a real save situation. Dusty will only use Dempster in save situations. And when the Cubs are up by 5 or more.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    I certainly wouldn't mind O'Bryant. I don't expect the big guards that I covet to be around at 16.

    Where is Wood making his start at tomorrow? I forgot if he was going to Iowa or wherever? Peoria. and Atkins got the start today for Peoria. Estrada came in and allowed 2 inherited runners to score and then allowed 2 more to score. Tied up at 4 now in the middle of the 5th. My bad on that. Went with the standard Peoria rotation, but with Kerry starting tomorrow, it makes sense to let Atkins start today and use Yepez in relief tomorrow.

    Where is Wood making his start at tomorrow? I forgot if he was going to Iowa or wherever? Peoria tomorrow, Iowa next time out. I'm not hopeful that Wood will be in top form the moment he returns to the Cubs, but I'm hoping that just getting one of our big guns back will infuse some much needed energy into the club once he gets there. I'm for bringing him up after the Peoria start if he looks at least somewhat sharp. As long as he can throw an acceptable number of pitches once he's in his big league team, which I don't think is likely after just the 1 rehab start.

    ITI? Let me know when a credible source reports it :wink: They're not bad when it comes to minor league transactions. Poor JC.

    Got to see Horny in action last night at Dodger Stadium. He imressed, got a single and a walk. Worked the count well. Also made a diving stop at first base.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: TBD* @ RHP Matt Smith (1-2, 7.63 ERA) West Tenn: RHP Juan Mateo (1-2, 2.42 ERA, 26 IP, 18/10) vs. RHP Matt Yeatman (1-0, 0.55 ERA) Daytona: RHP Mark Holliman (1-1, 3.20 ERA, 25.1 IP, 29/12) vs. LHP Scott Elbert (0-3, 2.19 ERA) Peoria: RHP Scott Taylor: (0-1, 1.86 ERA, 9.2 IP, 7/1) vs. RHP Aaron Tressler (1-1, 2.63 ERA) *My guess: RHP Bobby Brownlie (0-3, 10.80 ERA, 11.2 IP, 14/6)

    At least the Lakers lost. I'll be pissed when Rusch is back in the rotation and Hill is in Des Moines next week.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    And I take happiness in knowing that the Heat won't make it to the Finals.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    I didn't care for him on the Bulls, but I'll love him to death as long as he keeps killing the Lakers.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    What pissed Skiles off so much?
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    TNT.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    But a great finish by Duhon! Bulls down 29-19 after 1.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Sigh.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    That's probably because he doesn't get a lot of ABs.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Corey has a higher OBP than Jacque or Pierre. And Corey has 1 walk this season.
