Gameday Open Thread/Cubs @ Padres and Day Old News

Submitted by Rob G. on

The Cubs travel to Peoria to play the San Diego Padres. Ryan Dempster and Jake Peavy will start. Here is the lineup from Muskat:

SS Ryan Theriot, 2B Aaron Miles, CF Reed Johnson, 1B Jake Fox, 3B Fontenot, RF Doug Deeds, LF Richie Robnett, C Paul Bako, P Ryan Dempster.

Carlos Marmol has changed his mind and will pitch in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic. Zambrano is still sitting out though.

Curt Schilling said if he does pitch this year, he would like it to be for either the Tampa Bay Rays or the Chicago Cubs. A Cubs source seems open to the idea.  Of course, I'm not sure if anyone has seen if he can still pitch.

Sam Fuld was named to Baseball America's All Winter League Team.

Thanks to the readers for the links.

Theriot and Fox errors leading to runs for SD. Our defense may be suspect this year...Theriot/Fontenot are not that great up the middle, Bradley fields the DH position well, not sure how strong he'll be in RF.

http://twitter.com/cst_cubs I assume this is Wittenmyer being funny... 1-2-3 second for Peavy. Padres said to be demanding Soto and Zambrano in 5 for 1 deal. Trying to confirm. and Another 1-2-3 for Peavy. Padres tell Cubs they can't afford him and to have a nice century. and http://muskat.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/03/sunday_quick_hits.html Piniella is all for Schilling... then makes some ridiculous comment about Koskie and comparing him to Josh Hamilton Harden faced some hitters on Saturday

phew...along with the 400ab miles statements and other crap it's nice to be able to get "news" like this without 100 posts picking apart the stupidity of a 60 year old fat man being out of touch with koskie's ability, bradley's injury handling, or having no control of his clubhouse because he can't field a volunteer team in vegas.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-02-cubs-chicagomar02,0,7003196… But the Peavy-to-the-Cubs rumor won't die a natural death because the Padres still can't afford to keep his $63 million contract. Another rumor making the rounds is that Peavy's boss, San Diego Chief Executive Officer Sandy Alderson, may be in line for a similar role with the Cubs once Tom Ricketts takes control of the team. The Padres are in the process of being sold. Alderson declined to comment when asked if he'd be interested in running the Cubs if Ricketts buys the team. A baseball guy as president that has an affinity for stats...imagine that. Maybe Depodesta would come with him.

The only thing positive about this game was that it was baseball and I got to watch it live. 90 degrees and sunny. Is anyone else having problems with tcr on an iPhone? As I was trying to check az phil's 40 man roster from the stadium, my iPhone kept crashing. Too many scrubs to keep up with. Jake Fox is lost at 1b. SD's guy that pitched the 9th was throwing some serious heat(Morales?). Fontenot wore # 81 and played 3b. Doug Deeds sucks too, but has a decent arm. SD's 1(Blankes?)is built like a tank, think NFL TE. Going again on Monday.

Total Consciousness, I've got that going for me, which is nice.. --- Notes: Padres RHP Mark Prior said he felt good Sunday, a day after his most recent bullpen session. Trying to rebound from shoulder surgery in June, Prior said he threw 55-60 pitches, "so obviously that's a good sign for endurance. It's coming. I think yesterday was probably one of the first days where I felt, 'OK, things are starting to kind of round into form a little bit,' so that was nice." Prior threw about six curveballs. "I'm feeling comfortable enough to throw that because obviously it takes some arm speed to throw the curveball," said Prior, who hasn't pitched in the big leagues since Aug. 10, 2006, with the Cubs. Black said it was a good sign that Prior is throwing breaking balls. "That'd be great if he could come back and be able to jump into our rotation," Black said http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9281954/Padres-4,-Cubs-2

The last season of Triple Play was the best ever. Now baseball games have gone to shit, which is too bad. I guess EA is making an assload of $$ on Madden to not care about the baseball license. They certainly haven't cared about NCAA for a few years since they fail to update stadiums at the very least.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.
