Well, we know that Barrett still sucks defensively, D. Lee and Aramis still have major power, Glendon and Jerome still cant pitch effectively, and that Jacques needs to start hitting.

Yea I said that Jerome wasnt a good pitcher and then got criticized last year. Nice to see DLee and Ram-Ram get homers.

[Francoeurstein]

What he can do is try to get Ramon Hernandez in a three way trade opening up a spot for Javy to catch.

[Francoeurstein]

Tough loss for the cubbies, well atleast Lee and A-ram maintained power, I expect 35-45 homers out of both of them and maybe an MVP by Lee.

wha?

they signed ramon to the big deal, if anyone's traded-it's javy...no thank you

If Murton can hit above .280 and take 20-25 yard than it will be a great year for the Ginger Child. As for Pierre, he did what he does best, slap the ball and run. He had a few encounters in the centerfield that were ghastly, but not as bad as Dunn in Left and he proved on several occasions that he has a girl's arm.

What were those "ghastly encounters"? I must've missed them.
Dunn's defense was completely embarrassing.

Well, we know that Barrett still sucks defensively...

But his goal is to win a gold glove...
Is Barrett's contract up after this year? He needs to hit .300 and drive in 100 runs if he's going to be such a dope behind the plate.

[redwhitenblue]

so, no one takes into account the past ball appeared to be williams not paying attention to the signal change w/ a guy on second

i did not see the play later throwing to second but from how it was described to me hairston should've stopped it from going to the outfield as it was-holding freel to second

[burger eater]

The throw was horrible, very wide to the right of the bag and Hairston had no chance at stopping it. Later, when Cedeno fudged on holding Freel at 3rd, Lee's throw home was pointless because Barrett was 2-3 feet in front of home plate toward 1st base.

[Francoeurstein]

Ouch!! Good thing I didn't see the game.

maybe if hariston came off the bag he would've had a chance, he tried to hard to stay on the bag while going after the ball

it didnt matter

Honestly, I don't think it mattered that they gave up that run. They didn't get a run in the bottom of the ninth anyway so why does it matter aside from the fact that a solo homerun would have tied the game 7-7.

Cubs Win!

What a way to start off the series with the Cards. It was a great game altogether. I don't get it though. did Dempster get the save because Bob Brenly said he didn't have a save opportunity.

nope the 4 run lead kept it from being a save..


MLB rule for saves...

Saves:
Rule 10.20 in the Official Rule Book states:
Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces; or
- (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.
