Open Thread: White Cubs vs. Priests, Saturday 4/1

by Al Yellon on Apr 1, 2006 11:17 AM CST in Chicago Cubs Game Threads

Since the White Cubs' team colors have not yet been determined, all their players will appear on today's telecast in black and white. Of course, many of you may not see it as the WGN outsourcing to India is not yet complete; workers are feverishly running the cans and string across the Pacific and Indian Oceans right now.

Meanwhile, the W.C.'s should a distinct advantage, I'd think, because of the Priests' unusual uniforms, pictured below.

Today's Starting Pitchers

Question regarding MLBTV

I just bought the MLB.TV package and was all psyched and everything, but when I click on the Cubs-Padres link all I get is a white screen. I checked just to make sure and I'm not in a blackout area so anybody know what gives?

In Game.....

Cubs off to a good start in first inning. 2-0 with 2 outs. Murton has an RBI.

When Bellhorn "bare handed" that ball, was a clank heard 'round the park?

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:27 PM CST reply actions

Walked in a Third Run

Cedeno walks, forcing in a run. Maddux up. Big ovation.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:29 PM CST reply actions

Oh welll

Maddux strikes out.

It is VERY windy in Vegas. The CF camera is constantly shaking.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:30 PM CST reply actions

Through 2 innings

Cubs 2, Priests 0

Maddux has retired all six batters he's faced.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:35 PM CST reply actions

Maddux done?

just two innings?

Pierre...

...singles off the ptichwer, steals second on Piazza.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:40 PM CST reply actions

HUH?

pitcher

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:40 PM CST up reply actions

Walker...

....hits a double, bringing home Pierre

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:40 PM CST reply actions

im liking

the pierre walker combo-

hopefully walker just zips his trap and toes the line so we dont trade him

KSUCubbie

by ksucubbie on Apr 1, 2006 2:41 PM CST reply actions

Lee ...

....grounds out, Walker holding. It's 3-0 Cubs, one out in top of 3rd. Len and Bob gushing about Pierre.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:41 PM CST reply actions

They Just Announced...

....the Carlos Lee for Murton Hill Guzman is a done deal.

Well...

... it means that Matt Murton will have to change his first name to Mathieu.

Rusch Pitching..

..aims for the knob of Sledge's bat, strike one. Brenly claims Sledge trying to use the knob instead of the other end.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:48 PM CST reply actions

Already Len and Bob Are Bored....

....they're talking about breaking wind at Wrigley.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:51 PM CST reply actions

And It's A Double Play...

....to end the inning. Liner to Ramirez who doubles off Sledge at first. Love to tell ya more particulars but frankly, I was not paying attention.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:53 PM CST reply actions

Len Nice Enough...

...to repeat for me. Dave Roberts was the one who hit into a double play. 5-0 Cubs as we go to the top of the 4th.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:55 PM CST reply actions

Murton

is quite simply a hitting machine

if nomar hadnt gotten hurt that trade would have went down as one of hendrys best fleecings and as it stands it still might

KSUCubbie

by ksucubbie on Apr 1, 2006 2:56 PM CST reply actions

Well Well Well

Murton one hops the fence for a ground rule double. Whoever Dewey Brzaelton is, he is NOT the answer to the Padres' starting rotation problems. No outs.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:56 PM CST reply actions

Cedeno

More or less sacs Murton to 3rd. Brenly nominates Cedeno for the Hall.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:57 PM CST reply actions

Pinch hitter for Rusch already

Howry warming up. Oh oh.

this is the only trade worthwile involving murton

I'd Do It If I were the Cubs, Sure

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:58 PM CST up reply actions

Seriously though....

...you wouldn't do Lee for Murton, Hill and Guzman?

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:59 PM CST up reply actions

no

why? Murton will come close to matching Lee at a fraction of the cost

To me Pie has less value than Murton- use him instead

KSUCubbie

by ksucubbie on Apr 1, 2006 3:00 PM CST up reply actions

Well...

...different strokes I guess. I'd do it.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 3:01 PM CST up reply actions

After seeing Pie in person

this spring, I'm more sold on him than I was. He needs a year of triple A at least, but in the field, that guy is already Willie Mays. You can't coach that kind of speed.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 3:03 PM CST up reply actions

Whoops

Murton not quite ready for Hall himself, gets caught in a rundown.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 2:58 PM CST reply actions

My wish was that

our outfield would have been Murton Pie High Value FA

but instead we got Jones clogging up that space

KSUCubbie

by ksucubbie on Apr 1, 2006 3:03 PM CST reply actions

this was

for next year of course--

which is why i wanted jones with a one year deal

And As I Continue Posting For Myself and Ksucubbie

......Howry puts us all to sleep. Maddux would be back in the dugout by now.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 3:04 PM CST reply actions

Giles....

....tired of growing old at the plate, rips a single.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 3:05 PM CST reply actions

walker is better now that he follows pierre

walks looking good

Piazza Up...

....and Brenly promptly rips his catching skills. Love it.

Giles Steals Second...

...Piazza strikes out. Giles steals on Howry, not Barrett, as Howry's deliberate motions put Barrett's legs to sleep.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 3:08 PM CST reply actions

the French Connection

lets a fly ball drop between them, and it's 5-1.

wtf was that pop up?

Barrett loses a pop-up in the sun. 5-2 Cubs.

by Perkins on Apr 1, 2006 3:10 PM CST reply actions

Bizarro Ball Continues....

...in a play you'll on the news tonight, Bellhorn skies a pop up at home plate that no one sees, and it drops in fair territory in front of home, scoring a run. Everyone is safe.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 3:11 PM CST reply actions

Now 5-3.

by BeerCub on Apr 1, 2006 3:11 PM CST reply actions

5-2?

Bases loaded now. Howry's not looking very good.

My 06 Thoughts

I feel both optimistic and dread at the same time about this 06 season. I'm excited we actually have a lead-off guy which I can't recall the last time we have.. Bobby D perhaps, way back when?? Hmm.. Our pitchers look like they'll be all ready by late May or June so hopefully they others can hang on until the cavalry arrives. I'm glad SI picked us 4th instead of "The CUBS WILL WIN THE WORLD SERIES" this year so we can fly under the radar. I think the Cubs thrive best in low expectation seasons. Teams then take them for granted and they usually do well. I'm just glad 06 is here.. Go Cubs!! This April Fools day thing is really rough and it's painful to see black and white.. Yuck.. Funny tho' and you had me until I noticed a calendar..

by NorthernLights1972 on Apr 1, 2006 3:56 PM CST reply actions

...Federico Baez, who was on Puerto Rico's WBC team, now pitching in the 7th for the Cubs. He promptly gives up a triple to Justin Leone, who will spend this season making spaghetti westerns in Italy.

bot 10

Coates redeems himself with a leadoff single that nearly beheads the pitcher. Blanco up, with much hype as to the walkoff homer he hit at the end of ST last year. He bunts, moves Coates over.

Goodbye Corey. May Eric be nothing like you.

I've returned home

and have flipped on the tape of today's game -- unfortunately, I have failed to account for extra innings. (I should join the 21st Century, and purchase a TiVo.) Anyway, the first play I see is that 'clank' in LF by Buck Coates and Matt Vasgergian says "What in the name of Brant Brown is going on here?" I promptly turn the tape off, and thank Cox Communications and the Padres for not letting that ninny out of his contract when WGN had interest in his services upon the departure of Chipper. Len & Bren are quite adequate upon compairison to this smug, no-talent twerp who is hoping for the retirement of Vin Scully, so he can vulture his way into that gig....

No Way...

....Vasgersian will never do Dodger play by play. Charley Steiner, in all his somnambulent glory, has the very inside track on that job.

Dont worry

Tivo aint that smart either. It doesn't account for extra innings either. That being said, I would reccommend all people get a DVR of some sort...it is so convenient once you learn the ins and outs (such as extra innings preparation).

What a sad story

Check out Wood and Prior in cowboy hats. If only they could fall in love with eachother and nurse themselves back to health and a World Series then we would have a real story. But as it looks now they are just a coulpe of broken cowboys.
