There is a big group who even things the European kid (Darkic, I think???) Should be the #1 pick instead of James, and I haven't heard anyone say that they would take Anthony over him.

Guess this means we don't have to hear how great Kip is for a while at least...

First night game of the year on tap, tonight. Glad I am watching it from the WARM confines of my living room!

It is going to be a long time coming if it ever happens. They have a lot of really bad contracts to recover from, the farm system has been robbed blind, and the attitude of the organization is just terrible as I understand it. Plus they have alienated most of the fans up there and attendance is terrible. Even if they can find the talent enough to start to win, I don' think that they can rebuild a fan base quickly enough to keep those players.

Oh and any list has to include Terry Bevington, for old times sake.

We seem to keep having a solid guy to give us middle relief so far this year. I wonder who it is going to be to step up and be able to pitch the 6th and 7th innings? I personally wish they would give Glover the shot at it. In the short time he was the middle man last year he was lights out. Give GG another shot until Flash or White prove that they can do the job still.

supposedly Leftwich really impressed people with this workout. There is just that injury fear hanging over him.

So true. I believe that would be the definition of Irony?

I don't think I would want MJ making personell decesions. Look what he has done for the Wiz. Got Hughes traded Hamilton, etc...

Jim Parque is getting pounded? HA HA! Mr "I am too good for AAA" Now the only team that would have you is a professional AAA team. Ah sometimes things just work out perfectly!

OK I just want to ask, so what? Frank is hitting .238. He has 5 hits and 8 walks which is what gives him his huge OBP. My question is why would you use his 8 walks to justify his bat speed? That doesn't make any sense to me?

How could Jeff Weaver not get an individual mention anywhere on this list?

this kid is good....we didnt really beat him up..he went 5 against us and gave up 4...good enough for the win... 6-4-3 gets bartolo out of a little jam Maybe this will get him rolling now... We need some quick low pitch innings out of him.

Colon has got to be around 50 pitches? Looks like we will be seeing Gary Glover today, thank God he should be well rested!

I wonder if Sandy has been getting throwing lessons from Miguel

I was hoping the two soft hits he got Saturday would get something going, but you are right, as of now he looks lost.

It's 29 downtown. The Cubs fans phones are frozen to their ears Man I wonder if all of those fancy cell phone graphics work when it is that cold outside?

Can somone do a game update thread? I am stuck at work with no sound!

Well I think it looked like our AA team had better pitching than the Tigers, they also got more runs off our staff than the Tigers did... Hmm I wonder for the Southern League: WS Detroit vs Birmingham?

It is not working for me...

Nice format for a column. It is a good way of giving good and bad's.
