    Mikey trying to earn a spot.

    Ramirez is out after a first pitch swing.
  3. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Fontenot and Patterson turn a DP without incident. I guess that's a good thing.
  4. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Lee flies out to right. 3 out. End of 1, 0-0.
  5. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Soriano pops out to second. 2 out.
  6. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Patterson K's looking. 1 out
  7. vance_the_cubs_fan
    =D> I think Patterson's chances of making the opening day line-up are about the same as Haufpauir's chances.

    Quick 1-2-3 inning for Zambrano.

    A nagging achilles injury could be what slows him down. Link.

    I think they started mailing them out Friday, but if your game is later in the season, it could take awhile. I remember one year it was into April before I received all of mine.

    Pierre and GMJr are neck and neck for worst contracts given during the 2007-2007 offseason.
  12. vance_the_cubs_fan
    It appears Lou is taking notice of Hauffpauir. Link.

    I wish they would turn Wood back into a starter and turn Dempster back into a reliever.

    Check out Hamilton's line this spring for the Rangers: 607/633/1107 ; 4 2b, 2 3b, 2 hr. So far this looks like a win for the Rangers.

    After ESPN.com had reported that Hall had been traded to the Raiders, Hall is now denying the report. Link.
  16. vance_the_cubs_fan
    The Raiders have supposedly acquired DeAngelo Hall from the Falcons for a second round pick. The deal might be contingent on the Raiders working out a contract with Hall.

    And you know this how?

    I remember 1984. I was 11 that summer. I was just beginning to enjoy baseball as a spectator and the Cubs were my favorite team. In 1989, I was in my senior year in high school. My girlfriend at the time didn't comprehend why I was so pissed off. I'm seen it all, and yet, I still wouldn't make the deal for Roberts if the cost is Gallagher, Cedeno, Veal, and Ceda. Roberts isn't that much better than DeRosa. Is he better? Certainly. But not so much that I'd be willing to pay that price. As constructed, we likely have the best team in the division. At the very least, we'll be good enough to stay close. If 2b is a weak spot, revisit this at the deadline. At that point, we may need something other than Roberts. If that's the price we have to pay for what is obviously the missing piece at the deadline, the so be it. But, right now, I'm not convinced that's what we must pay or should pay considering second base isn't a hole for us.

    The Giants have interest in Crede. The White Sox want to move Crede. Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? One problem... Link.
  22. vance_the_cubs_fan
    If the price is Gallagher, Cedeno, Veal, and Ceda, I hope Baltimore rejects it and saves Hendry from this debacle.
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Roberts isn't worth all that.

    While the Astros may have a decent to pretty good offense, how bad is their pitching going to be? Here are the spring numbers so far for the five guys slated to be starters. Oswalt 9 IP, 4 ER, 4.00 ERA. Rodriguez 8.1 IP, 5 ER, 5.40 ERA. Backe 9 IP, 4 ER, 4.00 ERA. Williams 7.2 IP, 13 ER, 15.26 ERA Sampson 6 ER, 10.80 ERA While Oswalt will likely be his usual dominating self, Backe is coming off surgery and the numbers for Williams indicate that he could be out of gas. Sampson doesn't appear ready to hold down a spot either. They have another alternative... Chacon 10.30 ERA. While spring numbers don't mean much, these appear to emphasizing what most already knew. The Astros' starting pitching is going to suck.

    I just read on rotoworld.com that the Lions have released Kevin Jones.
