GO CUBS GO!!!!
I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.
Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.
Go Pack!

Didn't see the Cubs half...
But Connor Jackson – F9

Justin Upton – 2B (could have been a 3B easy)
Adam Laroche F9
Score?

intresting fact from the Blackhawks game, there was not one penalty in the game, and it was the first Hawks win in the state of NJ, and the first time they beat the Devils in their home ice since December of 1997.

i thoguht during the game they said it was 10 years ago that happened.
guess they need to work on their research
that's why the game went by so rapidly, no powerplay.

Hilarious
Grace was just talking about how they used to torture Michael Brenly when he was the bat boy
Chris Young steals second
not a horrible throw from Soto
You expect Kelly Johnson to hit with RISP?
Well – the game doesn’t matter. He may just do it.

Can't believe how good Rodrigo Lopez is good again
What a spring he is having.
I might have to pick hm up on my fantasy squad
S Drew strikes out swinging
End of the 3rd.
No score
Damn Riot
Lopez looking strong
time for the 1st hit Byrd man
Indeed.

We do not want to see 6 innings from Rodrigo

still no score

This is a good game
Blegh.

Well now the offense has to show up
Can’t play around anymore
Last 11 innings Dempster has pitched, he has what 1 or 2 runs of support
God I hope I am not saying this next week

If anyone has MLB and wants to see a young stud, flip over and watch Brett Anderson for the A's
he’s gonna be good.
So you feel Mr. Anderson is better then Mr. Cain or
will have a better year?
Did I ever mention anyone having a better year than anyone else?
Cmon man. Learn to read before posting please.
Wow, now that's saying something
I hope he stays healthy
Cuz I believe if Cain got a little more run support
People would be talking about him as a top 10 pitcher in the game
of course
but if you look at the #‘s, he’s been at the bottom of the league the last 2-3 yrs in run support, but the giants haven’t been an offensive juggernaut for a long long time
I believe Cain is going to be dominant
and Anderson will only be as good as his offense and his health
we shall see
we will keep track of this throughout the sesaon and see what happens
Made sure I picked him up for my Fantasy Team.

The Bulls and Hawks have company...
The Chicago Rush win in the AFL return tonight.
Hopefully the Cubs can make it 4-0.

Lets make the whole city proud tonight!
Cubs will score their first runs of the game
as soon as Tyler Colvin gets an at bat!
Tyler will not let us get shut out !!
Sean Marshall strikes out the side
inning over
2-0 Dbacks.
Ryno is now on the clock!

so still no walks for Colvin? Who cares! How many tripples is that this spring for Colvin?
by braziliancubsfan on Apr 2, 2010 10:08 PM CDT reply actions
The walks for Colvin
Kind of remind me how I was waiting for Fuld to get his first RBI last year. It’s something that should have accidentally happened by now.
What a waste of a beautiful hit
Maybe that triple will spark the offense.
He’s making everyone look bad this spring training
He’s like Albert Pujols on our team this spring minus all the power
Thats how heads and shoulders he has looked better then our vets this spring
God I pray he can do just 2/3 of this during the reg season
