Last week’s acquisition of Claudio Vargas was one met with a collective mouth fart from the Brewers faithful. That trade alone signaled the conclusion of Milwaukee’s pursuit of a top of the rotation pitcher and, to some, the front office’s surrender of the 2009 season...

So, the Cubs win the Cactus League opener. Not a lot to comment on, really. Theriot was up to old tricks, with two hits, and Soriano also got on base twice from the top spot, via a single and a walk. The Hero of the Day (registered trademark-in-chief of ACB) was Micah Hoffpauir...

As I said last night I'd prefer to use Claudio Vargas if Maine is going to be replaced for multiple games. The offense and pen would know exactly what they were getting, something in the area of four runs over six innings, which is solid for a fifth starter. I missed it last night...

See, games like this one are why I'm not convinced that we're going to catch the Nationals for the worst record in the league. Clearly, we're not a very good team. Still, we're much better than the club that cratered with 12 losses in 13 games and at some point, everyone...
