I didn't think he was that complimentary. Hawk said what a pleasnt surprise Brian's been. Ozzie said yeah, bout time. We been waiting a long time for this kid. but yeah he's matured and playing well...and something about him playing better when players start passing him up. He making ozzies job hard...or er easy if he keeps playing like this. he has good chance to make the club if he keeps this up.

 

I don't know..I was hoping for a bit more of an endorsement.

He doesn't deserve an endorsement yet. There's still 2+ weeks or so remaining in March. He has to keep it up. His endorsement comes if he's in CF on opening day.

I guess Ozzie missed the .308 he hit last spring.

 

You forget, he was trapped in the shadow of GrindErstad last spring, so .400 would have been a slow spring.

He said that Brian has matured a lot this year.

Cubs take a 2-1 lead.

He also said Brian is making it hard, then said, no actually making it easy on him this spring.

But Ozzie said he wishes it was Ryan Sweeney instead of Anderson.

Uribe with a 1 out double over Fukudome's head.

Ha, Fukudome's arm isn't quite as good as advertised.

Uribe looks like he put on some weight this off season ... again.

Jason B. singles, Uribe scores, beating Fukudome's throw. 2-2-.

Ha, Fukudome's arm isn't quite as good as advertised.

He also short-arms the s*** out of the ball.

 

Bourgeois shows some nice speed tagging to 3rd on Cab's fly ball to LF.

"Wow Juan, have you gotten stronger? Well, I have been eating more."

I really think the Cubs expect Ichiro, and they going to get something that is far more disappointing like ... Cory Snyder.

I like Bourgeois.. seems like a good guy to have on the big team in the next year or two, kind of a second coming of pablo.. but hopefully better in the field, though I haven't seen any other games this spring... so I could be wrong/off due to small sample size.. where'd he come from anyway?

Thome falls to 1-2, comes back to draw the walk. Runners on the corners, 2 out for Paulie.

 

Paulie grounds into the FC. Inning over. 2-2 ballgame.

He's not exactly young, so this year is one of his last real shots. But I also like what I see.

He was in our system last year. Originally with texas, has been other places too.

I saw Jason play last year. He mostly played 2nd base, but I did see him play Short and Centerfield. Could be another Pablo

Well Masset pretty much sucks as much as I thought.

Rich Hill gone. He looked even worse than his line.

KW sounds so intelligent when he is not yelling at the fans or the media.

Oh, Kenny.

We have depth at every position? How about quality depth?

 

It's fun listening to him talk, honestly -- but that stood out to me as a you can't be serious moment.

I do give him some credit for saying he was saying some of the same things last year and was wrong.

Yeah, like the bullpen.

Jason B, now thats how you still a base. (3rd)
