Gameday Open Thread / Padres @ Cubs

The Cubs host old friend Greg Maddux and the Pads, Thursday at 3:05 in Mesa. With his family's welfare in the balance, Jason Marquis will start for the Cubs. Marquis has allowed seven hits and two walks in two starts (5 IP) so far this Spring.

The game will be carried live on mlb.com Gameday Audio.

Also, if you haven't placed your bid on any of the CBOE seats, act now. The bidding ends at 3:00 pm.

I was wondering how best to spend this $80,000 bill I found on the street. Looks like I'll be bidding on some tickets.

Lincoln Holdzkom signs a one year deal and gets a 40-man spot. I guess there's comfort in knowing the Red Sox and Cubs value the same types of pitcher.

JVB needed to retire before he got smacked on the back of the head by a comebacker. COL tried to fix it, CHC let him use it again, BOS tried to fix it and then let him use it again...

Sorry, guys -- I'm blanking on "JVB". Who is that?

In reply to by mannytrillo

Thanks, manny -- I should've remembered. Premature senior moment.

Rob: The Red Sox will probably want to dip into the Cubs reliever pool one more time if Coco Crisp ever gets healthy enough to stir up more rumors.

Also amusing from that article is the following quote: "Francona said he conferred with Dustin Pedroia's wife Kelly before inserting him into the lineup. "Since I knew she wears the pants in that family, I asked 'Do I have your permission to put him in a game?' (She said) 'Yeah, I have to get him out of here.'" '

wrong link I believe...that's the same link to the top 20 young pitchers.

Alyssa Milano was smoking ass? That is odd.

Can't figure out if that's hot or not. I'm going with not, though.

Haha, Justin Verlander is probably nice, but he's just not my type.

the Cardinals in the Kyle Lohse pool? (from Rotoworld) Even though a deal is not yet done, free agent Kyle Lohse reportedly will take a physical for the Cardinals on Friday. Lohse is only requesting a one-year deal at this point, probably for $5 million or so. It's unclear whether he'd be an option for the rotation during the first couple of weeks of the season, but we're guessing he wouldn't be. The Cards still might need Anthony Reyes, Todd Wellemeyer and Brad Thompson as starters initially.

Parachat is up and Rob G is happy because Theriot is batting leadoff and Soriano is unable to get him to third with the first out of the inning.

Aram Ram sends one to the warning track in right, but Maddux gets out of the leadoff man on 2nd jam....first time that's ever happened.

Has Jody Gerut had any chances in CF? How's he look there?

no dlee panic yet...neat. it cant be far off...he's really close to .100...3 for 27 currently (.107) with 1 double. ichiro's "story" seems to be over. he got a hit today (1 for 25).

all ive heard positive is he's been damn impressive in BP. that can only take you so far, but its not like dlee's never shown he can hit...and he is managing to take a walk. if he's showing power somewhere that's good enough for me...for early/mid-march anyway.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
