HD to declare the season a disaster after the Cubs lose the first series 2-1.

Heh, my go, Prior will come up when it's clear that Miller is useless, but it's Guzman who will eventually establish himself in the rotation. Not sure on Gold Gloves, never really cared too much about them, I can see all three of those guys hitting 40 HR, Z for Cy Young would be ffb, Hill already was quite good in the second half of last year, I'm looking for 12-14 wins from him. Marquis to suck. Lilly to underwhelm. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Last Play: C. Utley singled to second, R. Howard out at second

uh...now I didn't see the play, but isn't this what we old timers call a force out?

Heh, you mocked me when I called it a season in late April/early May last year, and I WAS RIGHT.

hey iaiaiaiaiaiaiain mate, wood to take the closer slot from dempster before or after the all-star break?

I want Rocky Cherry!

If Wood can pitch and keep his ERA below 5 then I'd expect him to take over as soon as Dempster blows 2 in a row, probably not before June though.
