rob like end his physical attributes to that of justin maxwell listed at 6'5", 215. breaking ball missing. thought he might be looking for a first pitch fastball. >> even if he is doesn't mean you can't locate one, throw it on the inner half or a little bit away, and maybe you get him to bite on that. but to throw an out pitched breaking ball in the dirt first pitch doesn't do you any good. >> base hit. wells scores. rolen coming. there's a play. kearns has him, no! that was not one of austin kearns' stronger throws. it was right on target, but it seemed like when it hit the infield grass it just died, and then scott rolen, who's a very good base runner got around the tag of josh. >> good base running by rios. >> he had to come up a little bit on the line. >> he's probably laboring a little bit. >> out of play. barred >> 3-1. this will probably be two more. lind andry owes and rios. >> that's just a 3-1 meat fastball. we talked about mastering the strike zone. 53 strikes, 53 balls, 50/50 last time out for martis. that's not good enough to pitch at this level. you hav

a taste of steaming maxwell street polish sausage loaded with on the ends on a snowy chicago sunday, the train ride to my brother's house in detroit after i learned of our brothers def and the rate of a moment that brought me here to this one-room helm. i grew up in a city of the shiite muslim in iraq 10 kilometers from of chief we played with ancient civilization steadied by the lights of the historic mosque from the summer heat to the shrine to power its behind it. said the pilgrim from across the middle east were for every day child who had trials and chileans of my siblings and me. my family was characterized by a passionate for both politics and religion. my mother was a muslim and my father was a communist and you can imagine the conflict as a kid brought up by these two polarizing believes. foreigners may not know that iraq used to have a strong communist party. it was highly educated country and whenever you have education you use what you have been even though communist ideology was in many ways similar to the path party ideology it represents a threat to saddam hussein powe

to have a true centerfielder emerge, whether that's roger coming back from injury later or justin maxwell coming back up. given what they have, willie is the best they've got and they've got to ride with the hot hand. if he keeps it up, you've got to keep throwing him out there, no question. i think it does make a difference having him leading off. it puts guzman in a better spot hitting second where he's probably better suited, gives nick johnson better rbi opportunities. >> mark, one other thing that i want you to touch on is the leadership role that willie harris brings to the ball club. some of these younger guys can really take some lessons from the way he hustles, the way he approaches the game, his whole demeanor, they can feed off that. >> he is like the perfect ballplayer as far as that's concerned, the guy you want. nobody ever says a bad word about him. he hustles, out there every day, always has a smile on his face, never complains about what his role is whether he's starting or not, whether he's bouncing around from position to position. it definitely sets a good example. i k
