On a 1-2 pitch no less. That's the best pitch you could make there Z?

The awful gray unis.

"Carlos wants to find the strike zone more often this year" Good start Z. A 4 pitch walk.

ESPN is a few seconds behind WGN also.

What a bum. Let's trade him.

I wish the Cubs were wearing blue today.

Isn't the game going to be televised on WGN also?

And we don't even need to bring up Rich Hill.

Actually, he's been quite silent on the whole situation. Not one word said or written. It's rather odd. :D

Words fail me.

C Posada 1B Howard 2B Utley SS Rollins 3B ARam LF Dunn CF Soriano RF Dye DH Ortiz Come on, do you really expect to score any runs with this lineup? Wow. Terrible lineup. So in need of some table setters and a prototypical 8th hitter. And a true leadoff hitter like Juan Pierre.

And he'll blame Bruce Miles.

Did you ever hear back from the guy with the USA-Mexico shirts?

UNC's men's and women's teams both have something in common: They both choked away big leads in the second half. UNC didn't hit a field goal in the last 8 minutes of the game.

How about that, Cubs fans, Matt Murton is batting 2nd against a right-handed pitcher. Welcome to the Lou Piniella era! I fully expect Pierre to lead off the game with a 4-3... What? Oh that's right, he's in Los Angeles this year. \:D/

Are you kidding? WTH! MLB.TV doesn't show ESPN games live. It will be available on archive (but unlike the other games, it might not be archived immediately--at least they weren't in the past). They figure you can watch them on TV (and ESPN pays big bucks to carry the game...) MLB.TV doesn't show any games that are televised on a national network so they never air the Saturday games on FOX either, which sucks for somebody like me who gets the Dodgers/A's/Giants on Saturdays instead of the Cubs.

Nothing like a Cardinals loss to start the year off.

I don't think Joe even watches one game at a time. EDIT: I like how when Jon Miller brought up the internet, Joe just kind of stuttered and didn't know what to say.

Oh no, Joe? OH HELL YES!! That's a double play.

LaRussa is a genius. How did Jose Macias and Neifi Perez make major league teams? Black magic.

Obviously the pitch wasn't close Joe, IT HIT THE BATTER!!

You could give Juan Pierre two throws and the distances of those two combined wouldn't reach the plate on a fly.

The only '100' LaRussa is thinking about is which 100 proof alcohol he's going to drink after the game.
