Once again, the Cubs had a stellar outing by a starting pitcher. Once again, the Cubs had little help from the sticks. Once again, the bullpen sucked it up. Once again, Sean Marshall threw like a champ. This season seems a lot older than two series deep. Gorz followed Silva by putting together a solid [...]
Windy City Classic…Spring Style
I wish I was in sunny AZ right now…. D-Lee has a dong Kosuke has a 3-bagger Theroit is 2-2 Sori has a hit…all off ol’ man-boobs himself. Go Northsiders!
Spring Update: Cubs v. Brew Crew
~ Randy Wells (pic’d above) mowed ‘em down. 3 IP | 0 ER | 1 H | 2 K ~ D-Lee blasted #2 on the year ~ Sori has a double ~ Theriot 2-3 w/ a SB 3-2 good guys, through 5
Silva’s First Outing
Well, at least we Cubbies fans have a new horse to kick. Silva’s first Spring appearance was great. Not great in the conventional sense, but great in that we have something to bitch about with Milton gone. ~2 Innings pitched ~6 Runs ~7 Hits ~2 Dingers…both by Carlos Quinten. Good luck dude. AAA Iowa is [...]
Chan Ho Park?
Word around the ‘nets is that the real reason that the Cubs are going to arbitration with Theriot is to save money in order to sign Chan Ho Park to a one year deal… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Chan Ho Park: good fastball, great beard.
Poorly Played…Jays Take Gregg
Kevin Gregg excels in giving up untimely dingers. That is about it. For some reason, the B Jays have decided to throw him a 1yr/$2.75 mil contract for ’10. He did manage to pick up 23 saves in ’09 for the C Bears, but looked awful in doing so. Good luck.
Cubs to Stay in Mesa
The Cubs will be in Mesa until 2016…keeping their Spring-Ball home of 57 years for another six seasons, at least. The contract with Ho Ho Kam park will expire in 2011, so look for an improved fascility at that point.
Nady to Chicago
Xavier Nady is trading in one set of pinstriped baseball trousers for another pair of pinstriped baseball trousers. And pinstriped baseball blouses… $3.3 million guaranteed plus $2 million in incentives based on games played…Good work Hendry. D-Lee has a backup, and Kosuke has a platoon-mate. I’m pumped.
