Cubs Crush Crosstown Club, Ozzie Picks a Fight, and More Saturday White Sox Tidbits

The Cubs beat the Sox 13-0. Oh well. The Marquez Era began well, with a strikeout of Alfonso Soriano to lead off the game and then on through two scoreless innings. Though for a "groundball pitcher", didn't seem to get many of those.... Matt Thornton then pitched a scoreless inning before heading off to the WBC. After that, though, things fell apart for White Sox pitching as Wasserman and Dotel each gave up 3 hits and 2 runs over an inning pitched. Something named "Williams" provided a brief inning respite, before Adam Russell got absolutely crushed for 8 runs (6 earned) without retiring any of the eight Cubs he faced, though he was hurt by Lillibridge's inability to deal with a double play ball.

The offense didn't provide much to write about either. Lillibridge staked his claim to the leadoff position by striking out three times in four AB. Wise had a couple hits, including a double, while batting in the second leadoff position. Thome had a double. That's about it.

Box.

In other news, Ozzie is picking a fight (again) with Ted Lilly (again). The Blue Jays, owners of the 20th pick in the draft, are possibly renewing their interest in Orlando Cabrera. Tomorrow, the game against the Dodgers will be televised on CSN, MLBN, and KCAL at 2pm (CST) as the two clubs officially open Camelback Ranch.

Money quote from Ozzie in that article:

"It was pointed out to Guillen that it has seemingly been a lot of the Latin American players that have been the ones caught since the policy started, and in classic Guillen fashion replied, "BALCO isn’t in Caracas.’’

His voice could tame a liger

Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

He got arrested once...

..for climbing over the fence at Argon to prove lax security. Big Joe McCarthy guy. Sleep well, fascist.

I don't care about his views

He was still enjoyable to listen to.

has anyone heard anything about how the indians are arranging cabrera, peralta and derosa?

i’m assuming it’s

2B DeRosa
SS Cabrera
3B Peralta

but i haven’t read for sure one way or the other.

doesn't look like LGT knows

at least from scanning their front page. also, it looks like DeRosa and Cabrera are moving around in spring games.

I think Wedge wanted DeRosa at third.

I think if they want optimal defense, they should hold off moving Cabrera and Peralta and go for a solid defensive shortstop this offseason.

But Skybox tickets at the Hawks game tomorrow is better anyway.

"Guillen picking a fight?"

Seems to me that it was Lilly who initiated this exchange.

i figured a cubs fan would know that it's always, always ozzie who is the instigator of dust-ups in the media. always.

The lead Cubbie fan at Bleed cubbie Blue thought...

… you were serious & pointed to your passing comment as proof of his assertion that Ozzie instigated this (minor) dust-up with Ted Lily.
