Was unable to listen to anything but the last inning of the Cubs' 8-6 win over the A's today, and by then they had the lead for good.
Mark Prior again threw very well, and the offense provided by Hee Seop Choi (2 hits, 2 RBI) and Sammy Sosa (2-for-3) finally showed some signs of life.
Meanwhile, the Cubs' other split-squad beat the Padres 5-2. This game wasn't on radio at all, so listening was impossible. Corey Patterson hit a HR and went 3-for-3 in this game, and Juan Cruz threw three scoreless innings.
I think I've hit on something here, and since I can't stand listening to Ron Santo anyway... I'll just stick to postgame shows on the radio for this season.
The two wins even the spring record at 6-6.
