Now we know how Carrie Muskat

gets her articles written. They flow about as well as the one above.

Check that, the one is above is far superior.

Giving Carrie way too much credit.

Although, this must be how she finishes her thoughts. I imagine her drop downs being of the “(player name) said.”

Lovely

I wish I could have controlled the playoffs last year like this.

In a meaningless two game series...

Cubbies swept.

DrCrawdad - March 5, 2009 reply

Yes, the Soxies won.

I’m sure that will be big news in Bridgeport.

90%

of the teams in mlb would wish that they had the talent @ 2 or 3
that we have competing for #5.

i am thoroughly enjoying this little mini intra-squad wrestle-off and may the best man win!

and i thought heilman made quite the statement today with regard to his worthiness…

both games

I went to both games naturally, and I have to say, the cubs looked pretty lifeless. Soriano lacks any hustle, only Fontenot, Reed, and Therior actually busted a sweat. The rest of the backups are all less than 5 feet tall and our pitching looks highly suspect, and this was against mediocre White Sox hitters including (Dye hitting .123 and Konerko who tattooed a homer Wednesday night). I know it is only spring training so all I can say is, we’re going to the Series!!!!!

Nail on the head...

… “it is only spring training.”

It’s only spring training and a spring training field trip to Las Vegas to boot. No wonder the teams looked disinterested.

A win or a loss in any spring training game means nothing and a win or a loss on this field trip means even less.

I don’t know why baseball stats sites even bother listing W/L records of ST.

Quick question, without looking it up can you say what the ST record of the Cubs last season?

BEST. GAME. SUMMARY. EVAR.
