Look like Cintron is leading all team making position players. Hows his D been?

Cintron has been playing 3B since Aramis has been out and he has done has good job. Not sure how his defense has been since the games haven't been on TV but I think he would make a great utility player on the bench.

Big view of the March schedule. TV games are listed, not radio though.

I don't know who Walrond is, but I think it's a safe bet that his time is up.

Yep, I have never heard of Walrond either but it sounds like I won't need to know who he is.

Does anyone know a way to watch the cubs game streaming tomorrow? We need a game thread.

Fukudome got on base again by reaching on an error. Jimbo will be on next, this should be fun...

Weird looking, short, and pudgy. And is bad.

Stud.

Pie will probably hit close to 20 HRs

Posey H8er · Post #93 » by **Posey H8er** » Sun Mar 2, 2008 9:50 pm

If he plays consistently then possibly because he has a very nice stroke when he's making good contact.

Despite the fact we are not winning games, I am impressed by our hitting. Mike Fontenot is going to make the team if he keeps this up. Fukudome has impressed me with his patience. Derrek Lee has had a pretty good Spring. Ryan Theriot is trying to tell Hendry not to go after Roberts. And we are still missing Aramis and Soriano who are 2 great hitters. The reason we are losing is because we are giving our young pitchers chances and they aren't pitching well. I'm not concerned at all with the way things have started.

Jake Fox has a double and a triple today. Lieber gave up 2 runs in 2 innings pitched.

SportsWorld · Post #99 » by **SportsWorld** » Mon Mar 3, 2008 9:46 pm

Samardzija did very well today. 2 innings pitched and 0 hits allowed :clap:

He could be a key late season call-up.

Cubs 3
M's 2
Bottom 7th

The Cubs have had a variety of injuries this spring. So far, infielder Mark DeRosa was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat, pitcher Jose Ascanio had a bruised face after getting punched in a robbery attempt, and outfielder Felix Pie missed a couple of days early because of a twisted testicle. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez remains sidelined with a sore right shoulder.
