  1. Brett Jackson with a double and Vitters with a homer in the rain shortened game. Jackson needs a better nickname than B-Jax. How about "Jackson 5-Tool"?
  2. Shark enters the game with 8 walks in 3 innings. I'm off for the gym.
  3. Who was worried? Some questionable decisions couldn't overcome Houston's absolute lack of talent.
  4. Figueroa threw a ton of pitches in the 1st as well. It would be nice to tire out the Astros bullpen early.
  5. You better win, Cubs. You cost me a weekend bet against a Brewers fan. Now I have to watch From Justin to Kelly, that execrable American Idol movie.
  6. Thanks for your input. I hope you comment all season.
  7. Excellent post. Let's hope for lightning in a bottle with Russell & Diamond and take it from there.
  8. On a scale of Nolan Ryan to Dave Dravecky, what was Cashner's reaction to his shoulder injury? Was he grimacing and rubbing it or writhing on the infield in pain?
  9. Cashner hit 98 on his last fastball to Roberts.
  10. Gameday clocked Cashner's fastball over 94 mph.
  11. From the Fun with Early Numbers thread:
  12. Starlin Castro has a 316 OPS+ right now.
  13. Castro's leg twisted at a weird angle. My heart almost stopped.
  14. On the bright side, Cashner has 3 Ks to one walk.
  15. Braden Looper retires. Starlin with a 3 RBI double but got picked off 2nd. Vitters has a solid double as well.
  16. Aaron Laffey broke the record for going from 'borderline prospect' to 'crafty veteran'. That's what happens to injured lefties with fringe stuff.
  17. I could see Szczur's camp pushing for this clause. They had all the leverage and it seems like a final negotiaion compromise. No major league deal but a little extra money and a compromise on the 40 man roster date.
  18. What was the gist of it? I gathered Carpenter was one of the guys 3-5, but who else was mentioned and what were the hopes for these guys? 1. Trey McNutt (#1 starter) 2. Brett Jackson (Shade under star) 3. Matt Szczur (Household name) 4. Chris Carpenter (Elite bullpen arm) 5. Josh Vitters (Plate discipline improvement)
  19. Jason Parks has a great article on Baseball Prospectus about what could go right with the Cubs system (subscription required): http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=13315 Nice to see some optimism.
  20. Max Ramirez with a grand slam. Koyie Hill with an OPS below his weight.
  21. Samardzija struck out the side in the 4th.
  22. Step 1: Cancel cable. Step 2: Order MLB package Step 3: Download TV from Hulu or Netflix
  23. It's a shame seeing anyone get hurt. The Cardinals do not look like a wild card team on paper.
