Aducci RF
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
I have kind of wondered what Byrd could bring to the #2 spot.
Call it a crazy hunch, but there was the article talking about him being really quick for his size, I think he could do all the right things in the #2 spot.

I would like to see more of this from Z.
By this, I mean more ground ball outs. He can be devastating when his sinker is working.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already
but what is TOOTPLAN? Couldn’t find it in the BCB dictionary.

It should probably be there,
but it’s actually in the urban dictionary -

Well
The sooner the Cubs figure out that Nady is a better option as an everyday LF than their current albatross of a No. 12, the better this team will be. Hopefully they discover that before April ends.
Who needs a stinkin' tag line? What are they for anyway?
Lilly was throwing on the side today - sounds like it went okay
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Soriano swings at strike in the dirt for the out. Nady at first.
