Daryle Ward felt he got lost in the shuffle during his first season with the Chicago Cubs last year. He's doing everything he can to make sure it doesn't happen again. Ward had three hits, including a double and home run off Oakland starter Rich Harden, in the Cubs' 7-6 split-squad loss to the Athletics on Saturday. http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/newssun/sports/833179,wa09_cubswin_s1.article Sun Mar 9 01:17:49 2008 PST Lake County News Sun (http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/newssun/)
It may only be March 9, but that means there are only 16 days before the start of the Major League Baseball season. On March 25, the Boston Red Sox will take on the Oakland Athletics in Japan. That means fantasy players only have 16 days to enter drafts and finalize rosters before Opening Day. http://www.alexcityoutlook.com/articles/2008/03/09/sports/sports02.txt Sat Mar 8 22:41:58 2008 PST The Alexander City Outlook (http://www.alexcityoutlook.com/)
