Guess it's just my browser, but the "submit" button on the form wasn't showing. So I used the link, thanks.

Does the question about Samrdzija's starts in the majors refers to his career as a Cub, or to this year? I guess this is a somewhat optimistic question...

CNN's take on the matter is as fol...BREAKING NEWS...ANNA NICHOLE SMITH IS DEAD. WE WILL NOW BRING YOU 72 HOURS OF NON-STOP COVERAGE. sigh...lulz... btw, M.Jackson's death (covered to death by ALL cable media outlets non-stop) killed the Iran/revolution US media coverage stories. we were "all" outraged by the killing of a woman who's name because a rallying cry and 100s of thousands marched the streets. then this dude who hasn't been very relevant in 15+ years got our ratings-based-media attention for almost an entire week. lulz...

grand slam off Jay jackson... split-squad today vs Angels and Brewers. I can't muster the ability to care anymore about spring training.

Vs. Angels: The Cubs have just one hit through 8 innings, a single by Nady. This is the A lineup with Theriot, Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, Byrd, Fontenot. Zambrano gave up 4 ER in 4 IP. Samardzija, Berg, and Caridad each gave up to runs, and Russell gave up his first of the spring. Vs. Brewers: Castro, Colvin, and Tracy all 2-4 in the game. Vitters 1-4 with a double, Hoffpauir with a 2-run double.

You didn't like: "I said if we carried Colvin, and he deserves to be here, no question, that we'd have to find playing time and we will." Followed by: "Spring Training has taught me in the years I've been doing this not to concern myself with too much of what you see here," ? If I am translating this right, Lou's idea is that in Spring training you can do well, but not do bad, unless you're a pitcher Sam Fuld or Micah Hoffpauir, then you can do bad.

i just think it's a whole lot of meh... it's hard to argue against having the cactus league's hottest hitter up, but it's also hard to argue against him going to AAA to continue to see consistent pitching. i'm not sure about this whole regulars-rest issue since the team won't even need much rest til the middle/end of april, anyway.

MLBTR had two posts over the past couple of days that I found interesting. The first was a list of how much each team spends on their starting rotation. I was surprised to learn that only the Yankees outspend the Cubs for starting pitching. The Blue Jays were last in all of baseball spending just over $4 million for their entire rotation. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/03/rotation-spending-by-team.html The other article included a list of free agent spending by team. For all of the hand wringing over the Cubs unwillingness to spend money this off season, they still committed to over $25 million, good for 13th out of 30 teams. The Marlins spent zero, which is outrageous to me. They receive a ton of revenue sharing money and are crying for a new stadium, but they can't spend a dime on free agency. It's a crock... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/03/offseason-free-agent-spending-by-…

    matt shaw (AA) has a .381/.552/.905 line through 7 games...3 homers and a triple.  6 games at 3rd, 1 game DH (5 PO, 7 A, 0 E).

    that's somewhat fun news.

    i was blown away confused/pissed when it was announced the cubs were trading for y.almonte.

    i was thrilled when m.busch was announced as part of the trade.

    it's really weird to have the "you gotta take this payroll guy, too" (1.9m) part of the trade leak before the main piece.

    the cubs didn't get a deal given what they gave up, but i was very happy to have a guy like busch in the fold with so much club control.

    Have to admit I was initially disappointed the Cubs traded away the upside of Jackson Ferris but Busch is making a believer out of me.  If I still lived in midwest guessing we would have invented some drink special named a Busch Bomb at the local drinking establishment to celebrate his homers.

    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.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    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.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks
