First Intracity Grudge Match: Cubs vs. White Sox at Mesa, Saturday 2/28, 2:05 CT

PrintWith 14 teams now training in Arizona, it's unusual for any two teams to meet more than 2 or 3 times in any one spring. But this spring, the Cubs and White Sox will play each other five times, including the pair of games they'll play in Las Vegas next week (Wednesday and Thursday, and both games will be on WGN-TV, and the Thursday game will be on the MLB Network). Despite the game being in a NL team park, both teams will use a DH (which you can do in spring training by mutual agreement), and the Cubs may use Aramis Ramirez as DH today. Also, last year's first round draft pick, Andrew Cashner, may pitch today or tomorrow. And Rich Harden will start a game by sometime next week.
Rick Morrissey says the only thing wrong with Carlos Zambrano is is that he hasn't won 20 games in a year yet. Even though wins for individual pitchers are more team-dependent than ever. He's right that Z has to focus and be more consistent. But I don't care which individual pitcher posts the win, as long as the Cubs win.
So Taguchi still hopes to make the team, despite being pretty well down the depth chart. And how did he learn English?
He played at the Double-A and Triple-A level in '02 for the Cardinals, appearing in 19 games with the Major League team. Being in the Minors gave him time to work on the language. He read books, but the biggest help was watching kids movies. A favorite? "Finding Nemo."
Finding Nemo? Wonder if he saw Jeff Samardzija there?
As I mentioned yesterday, there will be no TV or radio coverage of today's game. So, we're all following again on MLB.com Gameday. Once the game starts, incidentally, a link marked "Gameday Mini" will appear; clicking on this will give you a smaller, popup version of Gameday that you can keep up over BCB (hint, hint). An overflow thread, if you need one, will post at 3:30 pm CST.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

I don't get it.....
….. in a town like Chicago that is usually still flailing in a cold winter, there’s no radio or TV coverage of a Cubs/Sox game, even if it is a Spring game. Makes no sense. You’d think they could make their money back easily.

Yeah, it's weird.
Even with college basketball dominating TV coverage today, there’s a real hunger for baseball TV. I think they missed the boat here.

Yeah, that's it.
I really have no idea. CSN may be contractually obligated to carry college basketball today, but WGN (at least here in Chicago) is running two movies, “The Sixth Sense” and “Legend of the Seeker”. It costs money to have a TV crew cover the game, probably very little to run those movies. And for this time in the spring, the movies will probably do about as well in the ratings. Seriously.

Al,
What’s today’s programming on WGN radio? Don’t you think Pat and Ron could have covered the game?

ZZZZZZZZZZ!

He’s right that Z has to focus and be more consistent. But I don’t care which individual pitcher posts the win, as long as the Cubs win.
Zambrano has won 18 games and last season he was 14-6 (with a no hitter). Seems to me what’s more important than a plateau wins is whether the Carlos Zambrano of the first half of ’08 and his 2.84 ERA or the guy with the 5.80 ERA in the 2nd half shows up.

I’d much rather have Koyie Hill for his defense and his game calling. Neither one of them is going to hit for much of an average, but Hill has a lot more power and should hit a few home runs just by accident.

Also
It’s interesting because it will be the opponents broadcast.
Sometimes it can be interesting because they have a different perspective on the Cubs players.
I still remember Ed Farmer saying “You hear about the other pitchers the Cubs have but the kid we’re seeing now may be the future of the Cubs” during a Cubs/Sox ST game I believe in 2002.
It was Zambrano.

As a writer who is taking flying lessons it’s ironic I don’t drink.
Maybe I should start. Would it improve my writing or my flying? (I’m doing pretty well at flying. Had 2 lessons in the fall will start up again in the spring).

Ironically what many of the people who have read my writing the almost universally thought of as the best story I wrote was during a week I was pretty hopped up on painkillers undergoing some major dental work.

Erin Andrews
I appreciate Erin as a woman because of her talent and knowledge of what she is doing. Maybe her face got her in the door but her talent is why she’s a rising star.
I like her and the women at the MLB Network. If my daughter wants to go into sports journalism they are opening doors for her for 20 years down the road.

Hi, all.
I brought more virtual beer, if Al wants to clean out some space in the virtual fridge.
Anybody mind if I virtually smoke?
Music here!
YES! Old Style here please!
And just like the no smoking walkways at Wrigley, I’m sure no one will really mind.

None of that is over here… though I always get a kick when I see Bud and Coors in the “Imports” section.
As a side note, I took some pictures of my village today… I particularly like this shot of the high street.

With advance notice, shouldn’t have trouble meeting you somewhere central in London or anywhere in the Midlands. Just don’t ask me for help on finding a pub that shows Cubs games… that’s why I have AFN and MLB.tv :)

Shilling said he’s open to pitching for the Cubbies.
Interesting.
I’m not immediately opposed to the idea, would have to see what’s he’s working with.
We don’t want him to come back like Kenny Powers or anything.

The Hoff with a RBI single - Cubs up 3-0
and ARam grounds into a FC, scoring Lee. Cubs up 4-0.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Woo hoo!
I’m telling you guys 212-0!
The world is coming to an end. With the trade of Matt Cassel the Patriots want a caretaker til Brady is ready to come back and guess who they may sign.
His name rhymes with Mex Trosslan.

Personally I think he’s going to take off somewhere and it’s lucky he’s not going to the Vikings. Karma would be having him beat us 2x a year because we stuck with whom Ditka even says is the wrong one between the 2.
Karma would have him going to the Vikings and beating us 2x a year. It was an embarassment to be a Bears fan with the throwing of things at him and the death threats.
And to top it off while Orton is a Sox fan, Grossman is a Cubs fan.

Doesn't matter if we go 0 and 4 in October
If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.
The October games are included in the 212-0.
39 ST games
162 regular season games
11 October games
That’s 212.
