Keep overmanaging Tony.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I love having a patient hitter in this situation.

[Rob]

Damnit...

[Andy]

Damn it. I guess Murt can't hit 'em all.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Dang!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Well he's on the bench tomorrow.

[RyCubsFan]

I'm listening to the game on XM, and despite all the seemingly exciting plays, I haven't really heard any crowd noice. I hear the organ playing in the background, and can hear the occasional increase in crowd volume, but nothing like you'd expect on openind day. Is it just not translating through the radio?

 

I think everyone's cold. Frozen to their seats. Have gloves on so clapping doesn't make much noise. Drinking hot chocolate so can't yell.

[Jon]

Ugh. That pitch wasn't that low, either

[Chris]

:(

Must not be because the crowd has been wild.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bad throw by Ronny there.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Horrible throw.

[USSoccer]

He's double clutching those grounders...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Encarnacion grounded an IF single to shortstop

[CubinNY]

Ronny should have been given an error there

[Chris]

ugh

[ToupeeOnFire]

Double clutch Cedeno throws the ball away. He's lucky that wasn't ruled an error.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

They give Encarnacion a hit, but on the replay, a good throw nails him.

[Jon]

Where was that 1-0 pitch?

[Vinestal]

grr ball 2 should have been strike 1

[srbin84]

I expected better from Cedeno. Hopefully it's just nerves.

[Andy]

Encarnacion grounded an IF single to shortstop

Really, Mr. Rosenberg, it's ok to charge an error to a Cub.

[Butterscup1679666578]

That was crushed.
