This is my Cy Young year amigos! I better go, I have a game to pitch and I’m not supposed to be on the computer this close to the start.

I know it’s a little early for scoreboard watching, but I’m happy to report that both Houston and St.Louis are losing their games today.
I sure hope we don’t need these innings I’m gonna throw at the WBC late in the season or anything. Boy, that would suck.

Don’t know what Jack Pete did-made an out somehow. Jerry the Lesser singled. Derrek singled. Jerry the Lesser to third. E-ramis slow roller infield single to third baseman. Jerry scores, Lee to second. DBF strikes out swinging. Barrett pops out to first base in foul territory.

Ron just called the World Baseball Classic the WBB.
Is Carlos going all nine today? The way the A’s are swinging, he might not hit his 35 pitch limit until then.
theHawk
on March 2, 2006 at 2:56 pm
Did Cedeno jack one out?
Dusty
on March 2, 2006 at 3:01 pm
No, he just drove in a run with a basehit. He keeps this up and I’ll have to start him 2-3 times a week.

Just got another hit, but then I got thrown out trying to steal.
(Pat did say it took a perfect throw. But Pat tends to exaggerate.)
Ron Santoâ€â€ever the professional, detail-oriented color manâ€â€was looking for the replay on the monitor before he could give his stellar analysis. The guy can’t analyze a game without instant replay.
Santo also had to pause his part of the broadcast so he could answer his cell phone (the ring was heard on the air). Whatta pro.

Did I just hear correctly that E-ramis beat out an infield single in the first? Did he blow out both hamstrings or just one?
This is my second stint with the cubs. I was first acquired in november 12, 2003. I was the first acquistion Hendry made in response to the “bobbles” implosion.

When you hear an outing like Corey’s, I can’t help but sitting here, listening to it and thinking “I could go to Mesa as a non-roster invitee, play catch with some big-leaguers, get tips from Kerry about how to blow my arm out by mid-May, not learn how to throw a curve from Fraudschild, take the mound up 5 and hand the ball to Dusty having given up the lead without recording an out.”
I’m perfectly capable of Corey’s outing. Why can’t I get that chance?

I bought a Tommy John shirt once. It had spit all over it, and the right arm was sewn together funny.
Ah, here’s a player that I, unlike Andy Dolan, have seen play 100 times. I hope neither Pat Hughes nor Ron Santo try to analyze this kid.

Two Oakland errors in the 9th put runners on the corners with one out for the great Jose Reyes who dribbled one to first. The Oakland player had no chance at the plate and tried to start a 3-6-3 DP. No dice as the ball was not hit very hard. Angel Pagan scored the winning run for the victorious Cubbies. Mike Wuertz is your winner. Next radio broadcast is Saturday vs. SF. First televised game is Sunday at 2 CT vs. these same A’s on WGN Television Channel 9, Chicago.

5-5 game now after the Bobby Crosby grand slam.
Is Brian Corey there? This is his career calling. I’m over.
Here’s hoping I get into the game today.
Good one Pat.
No, it’s a bad sign when Z begins killing them for stealing wins from him. Either that, or he’ll just finish all his own games.
Is it good when you give up 7 runs and don’t get anyone out?
you think i should pull this kid yet?
And it begins…out of the gate with a mighty roar!
Can we have Brian Corey throw batting practice for us?
Hey, I am not a kid.
I am 32 years old, and I have pitched 5 innings in the majors.
