That's weird, opening day... then an off day in the middle of a series?

WE haven't developed a legit stud pitcher in our entire organizations existence. It isn't just the current guys, this organization needs a top down review and shakeup of our arm development. We can churn out first basemen, that's about it.

Probably would help if we didn't have a hitters park, wonder what the new place will be like. A's pitchers for example look amazing because they get more foul-outs.

Kevin Brown maybe? Kenny Rogers had his moments too.

I believe it was that way last year as well. Seems crazy to waste a Friday night game like that.

What is the sudden interest in Rua?

For some reason, people on this board always liked him. I never saw anything worth getting excited about while he was with the major league team.

Seemed like one of those over promise and under deliver prospects.

Be grateful for it in this case.

We used up a lot of the bullpen yesterday.

Dress a little warm JTA. It is going to be on the cold side today.

That's a 7:00 start too. Bad for beer vendors.

Those peanut bag throws may have a little bit of a curve on them as well with this wind. Haha!

Hope the wind lies at sunset.

To have any chance for a decent year, the offense will have to play above their head. We all expected it would be rough but remember this is a rebuilding and evaluating year. Nobody likes it but that is just the way it is.

The retread arms we have in the rotation and pen are there to let the youngins stay in the minors.

If this group is a total failure then there will be call ups and we really don’t want that right now.

Volquez grooved that one into Bryant

They look ready for every pitch. Gotta have more than a FB but Baez sure seemed like he knew the change was coming

Sounds like half of Chicago in the stands.
