Joe about Jones: "He's definitely Dusty Baker's kind of player." And what kind is that, Joe?

Now would be a great time for Jacque's first hit.

That sucks!

Walker gets things started!

It's time for the Cubs to score some runs off of fatty!

That was great!

Sheets is due back on April 16. And for those in Des Moines, you can catch his next rehab start against the Iowa Cubs.

I think the performance of Jones and Murton will have a large impact on how long Pie stays down. If Jones continues to struggle, and Pie is hitting everything is sight, then it will be tough to keep him down.

Cubs Game Notes A few highlights: Cardinals Press Notes

I was thinking the same thing this morning, DKWG.

If you're grading defense, Rolen is better than Ramirez, but I think offensively, Aramis has surpassed Rolen.

I'm still trying to find out if there's any truth to the rumor that several Cardinals took Ponson to McDonalds just to watch the numbers change.

I suggest that any of you going to the game wave turkey legs, swiss cake rolls, or honey buns at Ponson whenever he pitches. This is certain to distract him.

He mentioned in yesteday's thread how he wouldn't be around to start it. I told him I'd love to start the Fat Drunk's first start against the Cubs and he granted permission.

This BandWGN is going to be stuck on a roadside somewhere. Stay off!

Oops. Delete mine then. He had asked me to spot last night.

Mark_R told me to take the spot start for him here, so this is a one and out for me. When we win, Mark_R will be back in duty. The rookie, Sean Marshall http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/21/215637.jpg will make his first major league start as the Cubs take on Sidney Ponson, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/vance_the_cubs_fan/sidneyfatson3es.jpg aka the Fat Bastard. This game is the ESPN national Sunday night broadcast, so I'm sure this genius-->http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y151/timannett/Morgan_Joe.jpg will impart many worthless platitudes on the Fat One and how Dave Duncan and TLR have helped him turn his career around. I guess his career would be easier to turn around than his "rear" because I'm sure to rotate something that size takes about the same about of time as it does one of Jupiter's moons to make a complete rotation. While Marshall may have some jitters in his first start, Ponson has proven to be bad. So...to get this thread rolling, here are five things that are equal to or nearly the same size as Ponson. #1. http://members.tripod.com/~yoda77/jabba.jpg #2. http://perrymason.television-series.com/us_pic4.jpg #3. http://www.exodus.co.uk/pictures/a01hp43c.jpg #4. http://images5.theimagehosting.com/fat_bastard.jpg #5 http://www.solstation.com/stars/jupiter.jpg So, break out the brooms....I think we're going to sweep~ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/vance_the_cubs_fan/cubsweep.jpg Go Cubs!

In other game news, Royals come back to beat the White Sox who haven't won since winning the opener.

I'm hoping to get lots of help as we start Lee's ASG voting campaign with day one this year.

I've started a few threads on that subject. :lol:

Are you implying Lee has cost his team a game? I don't think so!

There's no doubt about that one!

Howry strikes out the weak-hitting Molina!

entering a game Now the question becomes, when does that happen? I vote June 17. I figure it will happen BEFORE Jacque gets a hit.
