GAME 103 IN-GAME DISCUSSION THREAD
ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS (50-54) @ CHICAGO CUBS (52-50)
WRIGLEY FIELD, 1:20 CDT TV: WGN, Fox Sports Arizona
Let's hope this game turns out as well as the first time we faced Vasquez on Opening Day. I'm supposing that Ramirez's quad injury is acting up and that's why we're subjected to another Jose Macias start. Looks like Holly is back to the bench as Murton gets his first start versus a righty this season. I'm sure if he does well, Dusty will take all the credit.
As I mentioned in the comments of the last post, if we can't take a series from the D'Backs at home, Hendry needs to keep his eye more focused on the seasons beyond this one, which means looking to move some of our veterans if the price is right. It doesn't have to be a fire sale, but anything that gets us better for 2006 and beyond should be considered if the cost is 2005. Of course a 3 game winning streak will change my opinion.
Go Cubs!!!
