Yankees Win First Game at New Stadium

Final Score: Yankees 7, Cubs 4

Cubs Starting Lineup Hitting:
Miles: 2-4, 2 RBI, Run
Fukudome: 1-3
Lee: 0-1, BB, RBI
Bradley: 0-3
Fontenot: 0-4
Soto: 0-2, BB, Run
Johnson: 1-4, Run
Theriot: 0-3, RBI
Gathright: 2-3, Run

Aaron Miles has played very well at the end of spring, while Fontenot and Theriot have cooled off. Reed Johnson had a nice triple, his 4th of the spring! No Ramirez or Soriano in the lineup today, I bet we'll see them tomorrow.

Cubs Pitchers:

Lilly: 4 IP, 8 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Heilman: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER
Cotts: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 0 ER
Berg: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER
Gregg: 1 IP, 1 BB, 1 H, 0 ER

I have to worry about the Cubs rotation. All 5 of them have struggled a bit towards the end of this spring. Our closer put a zero on the board today, that's good news!

Cubs Bench:
Taguchi: 0-1
Hoffpauir: 0-1
Deeds: 0-1
M. Johnson: 0-1
Blanco: 0-1

Game Highlight: Ted Lilly gave up two 2-run homers and a 3-run blast to account for all 7 Yankee runs.

My Player of the Game: Aaron Miles who went 2-4 with 2 RBIs and a run scored.

Up Next: Game 2 of the exhibition series tomorrow at NOON CT. Rich Harden will pitch for the Cubs.

Don't forget, Chat Sunday night at 7 PM CT. View posts below for more info.

Stay tuned, "30 in 30" recap coming up...

  2. Yeah, Lou isn't happy that Ted is a little behind because of pitching in the WBC. I was shocked that the Yankees hit balls of the foul pole twice! Once off the left field pole and once off the right field pole! The Cubs need a good pitching outing tomorrow because they gave up 7 runs or more in each of the last 7 games! Harden also needs a good outing as we head into the regular season! Go Cubs Go!
