Blue Skies, Sunshine: Cubs vs. White Sox at Mesa, Friday 3/27, 3:05 CT

Email
PrintThe sun is out and the wind is gone; this afternoon's temperature will be about 73 and so the Cubs and White Sox can concentrate on baseball instead of flying debris.
Kosuke Fukudome will make his season debut. Bruce Miles asked him, "What happened last year?" Answer:
"My stupidity," Fukudome said Thursday as he officially rejoined the Cubs after the World Baseball Classic.
Fukudome may have been hard on himself when he used the term "stupidity," because he says he's trying to learn from the experience.
"I learned a lot since last year," he said. "It's a little easier feeling to come in here to play. I definitely learned a lot last year, and that will make it a lot easier transition for this year. I can use a lot of things I learned last year to implement it this year."
We didn't see a lot of those "lessons learned" in Dome's performance in the WBC. Let's hope that changes, starting today. Lou says Dome will bat second vs. RHP; today's White Sox starter, Clayton Richard, is lefthanded, so we'll see where he'll bat this afternoon. And if Dome hasn't learned those lessons, Reed Johnson says he's ready to step up and play every day.
Gordon Wittenmyer's notes column has two notable comments:
- Aramis Ramirez says he can play every day, if you (or Lou and the coaches) are worried about who will back him up. That's great, as long as he stays healthy.
- The Cubs are looking to possibly deal whoever doesn't make the team as backup catcher. Makes sense to me, and there are teams still looking for backups, including, says Gordon, the Giants.
- Bruce Miles has more on the Bako/Hill choice, and also two more notes: the Cubs will have a decision on closer by Sunday, and they are converting minor league infielder Josh Lansford, son of former major leaguer Carney Lansford, into a pitcher.
Final note for today: the dispute between the Cubs and the Lakeview Baseball Club (over views that were allegedly blocked by the temporary Jumbotrons put up for the NHL Winter Classic) has been settled:
The owner of the Lakeview Baseball Club, 3633 N. Sheffield, also agreed to reimburse the Cubs for legal fees tied to the breach of contract lawsuit filed against [Anthony] Racky in federal court.
Racky had withheld the 2008 payment to protest a Jumbotron that, he claims, blocked half his view during the NHL's New Year's Day Winter Classic.
The rooftop sold out for the game between the Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings. But Racky argued that fans who had trouble seeing the rink would have to be given a future discount or freebie and that the Cubs should pay for it.
His one-man protest suffered a major blow last week, when a federal judge refused to prohibit the Cubs from blocking Racky's view.
Carlos Zambrano will start this afternoon. You can see the game on WGN-TV (with Len & Bob), or hear it via the White Sox flagship station, WSCR, or at the MLB.com Mediacenter. All the remaining spring training games will be available on some form of broadcast: either MLB Audio, broadcast radio, WGN-TV or CSN.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

Backup catcher,
any preference here between Bako and Hill?
I wish Hank White was still around for 1 more year but oh well…
I'm finally moving on...
it appears those making the decision disagree with you
something I heard about his attitude down the stretch. Anyway…locker room stuff. But let muse….who has more trade value
A well known light hitting proven defensive backup catcher wh bats left handed
or a
30 year old rehabbed ST hot hitting switch hitting journeyman who made it up in 04 and is tight with the Cubs starting catcher.
Let me see, Bako and some other throw in gets us Uribe?
Piniella: "This is a tougher job than I thought it would be, I'm going to be honest with you."
Henry's attitude?
Can you please explain a bit more?
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

"That little kid at second base - he is after a job, isn't he?" ~ Lou Piniella, 3/9/09
Yep
He’s younger than Bako, knows the pitchers better and it’d probably be difficult to be less of an offensive threat than Bako.

I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
Wow, how did I miss this post? Thanks for the shirt link.
The KU team of tonight is nearly unrecognizable from the one that lost to MSU by 13 in January. We only had one other player even remotely succeed in that game (Reed), and it was @ East Lansing, one of the top 10 hardest places to play in the country (box score). Self has truly handed the game over to Collins, and Sherron can play with the best players in any and all games.
It’s silly, because everyone here down in Lawrence always says “We live and die with Cole & Sherron”, but after the first two games, everyone’s bitching about how they were the only two to do anything. As long as a few of the support cast members—like Reed or Morningstar hitting a few 3s, or one of the Morris twins getting a good 9/6/5 stat line, I think we are the superior team.
No player in the tournament has played better than Sherron Collins, and Cole Aldrich will be in discussions for Player of the Year next year with Griffin, Hansborough, Thabeet, and Blair all gone. Cole will be the best big man in the game next year. If Sherron decides to stay, we will be pre-season #1 by a wide margin.
That said, Tom Izzo scares the shit outta me because he can out-coach just about anyone in the game. This 2/3 match-up tonight is by far the most interesting one, IMO.

Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
I would agree.
I didn’t know this, but Self is 5-1 in Sweet 16 games, which is pretty impressive.
Plus, Gus Johnson is on the call tonight, so you know the games will be entertaining.

Kosuke's comments are strange...
It’s clear he’s trying to be self-depracating. But what he doesn’t address (and has never addressed) is the ADJUSTMENTS to his hitting approach that need to be made. My growing sense is that we are in for more of the same offensive struggles out of Kosuke. The lineup is good enough that it should be able to absorb him contributing minimally, but at some point you need to flip the switch to Reed Johnson and Joey Gathright. And get Jim Edmonds on the phone.
can we actually wait
to see him SWING THE FREAKIN’ BAT FIRST???

Or is it the guy who rampaged in the first half of the year in the U.S.? Or played like a AA player for the second half?

Hoffpauir is just another square peg on the Cub bench
This teams bench is clusterfuck. Aaron Miles can barely play 2nd base, and we are asking him to be top reserve at shortstop and 3rd base. Koyie Hill can’t catch worth a damn and can’t major league pitching, yet he is shaping up to be Soto’s backup. Micah Hoffpauir plays one position on the field (and not altogether well) and he and his HUGE swing are being asked to come off the bench cold and serve as key pinch hitter.
Kosuke? Well, he’s $48 million of money pissed down the drain.
And don’t even get me started about middle relief because I keep having flashbacks to 2004.
In short...
this team is doomed. We’ll lose 90 games.

Nah...
But it is getting ridiculous the automatic presumption that the 2009 Cubs will win the NL Central. Cubs are good enough to win and should win, but there are legitimate concerns about this roster. And lady luck rarely shines as nice as it did in 2008 two years in a row. Injuries and bad seasons out of some key players are inevitable.
Sorry to inform you...
but I automatically assume that the Cubs will win the WORLD SERIES every year. This isn’t ridiculous, it’s called BEING A FAN.

Let's look a little more closely at what he said:
I learned a lot since last year. It’s a little easier feeling to come in here to play. I definitely learned a lot last year, and that will make it a lot easier transition for this year. I can use a lot of things I learned last year to implement it this year.
He may very well be referring to adjustments to his swing and approach in that last sentence. I don’t think it would be in his best interests to just blurt out to reporters what he’s going to do at the plate. Opposing pitchers and pitching coaches read newspapers, too.
Let’s all just chill out and let the guy play. I’m keeping my expectations guarded as well, but give the man a chance.

Ed Farmer
Interesting thoughts from Farmer on some of our guys.
Farmer was the first person to say on the air in the 2000 spring training “this kid is going to be really good” talking about Z.
And in 2000 Kerrys first game back was a game against the Sox in spring training and only on the Sox station. Apparently they know each other through charity and Ed admitted to really rooting for him to comeback.
My friend had his heart transplant on 3/21. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Farmer would be listenable
if I didn’t hate his team so much

um... not sure what game the other folks are watching, but that 3rd strike swing looked just like last year
now if you want to compare dismounts, yes, he’s landing much closer to the batters box than last year’s halfway up the line, but still – it did not look good.

Well, few strikeouts look good.

the only real problem with unloading Gaudin is trying to find a GM who hasn’t been watching him play.
