Cubs/White Sox

[jeffy]

It's on WGN. Big Z's on the mound.

Bottom of the 1st, Cubs up 5-0 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

EDIT: 7-0 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/spit.gif[/img]

I went to the lunchroom and caught the end of the inning -- only to see the final out. Kosuke made the final out -- the 11th man to bat in the inning. He worked the count to 2-2, fouled off a ton of pitches, but it never looked like he was getting a really good swing. His AB ended with a corkscrew swing and a miss.

Now I'm back at my desk only to find that the game is only on The Score. Pisser.

Milton just made a beautiful sliding catch in Right.

He also singled and scored in the inning.

I wish he wouldn't do that. Especially in Spring Training with a 7-0 lead.

I'm only reporting on what I saw.

Zambrano is 0 for 2, but 2 RBI. 6 RBI already on the spring, and he's batting .500. 9-0 good guys.

This would be one of the games I'd love to watch Hawk broadcast.

Fuk just lost one in the sun, Len thought it was a grand slam but it bounced right in front of the wall and over, ground rule double. 9-2. Z fell behind 3-1 and had already walked two in the inning. He's fighting himself out there... as usual.

You can't make an error behind Z or he loses his shit. It's ridiculous. I love Z, but that's one trait I could do without -- coming down on his defense. I don't even mind the crazy or the temper. But shitting on your teammates isn't cool.

Yeah, he also had a really aggressive slide to try to break up a double play. The dude is a serious ball player.

Theriot almost got hurt sliding in to home for the 9th run (he slid over top a bat.........the bat would normally have been moved, but he scored from thrird on a throw that got past the first baseman). Totally unnecessary in Spring Training, especially when you're already up 8 - 0.

Totally. And you can't do anything about that sun, it happens once or twice a game in these games in AZ. He had sunglasses on for those wondering.

It didn't seem like he was mad to me, but maybe I missed it. If anything, he was just a bit irritated about taking so long to get out of the inning, but he really didn't seem that emotional today, which is good [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
