I wonder if Lou started Floyd because Cliff is a Chicago native coming home? I remember Len saying Cliff gave all his tickets he had to his mom and told her to deal with dispersing them to family friends for opening day.

i hope thats not how he bases lineup decisions

Wayne Messmer sighting... officially baseball season.

I'm hoping Lou started Floyd because he thought he would be our best option in left field. Giving out favors to the veterans seems more like something a former manager would do....

Cliff kills Woody Williams

[Vinestal]

I like Messmer's jacket, where can I get one of those?

Looks like Lidge has been officially demoted from Closer, Garner says that he could close games if the situation is right, but the main closer will be wheeler starting today.

Floyd is 10 for 24 against Williams with a couple of HR's, so that probably factored into his decision.

Carpenter's injury is starting to look more serious.

Carpenter's injury is starting to look more serious.

 

According to?

[VanceJergins]

It was just on the Cubs pregame. It said he had an MRI for an inflamed elbow and is missing another start. Seems more serious than the Cards were saying when they said he didn't even need an MRI.

Never want to hear of anyone getting hurt, but isn't it about time the cardinals experienced an injury to a key member of their rotation? I sincerely hope he's ok, but I'm not going to shed a tear for the rival that just won the world series.

HESTER!!!!!!

[Jazz]

HESTER!!!

[cubfan75]

Took off the afternoon from teaching to be at home to watch the game. Can't wait for the home opener. BTW, I apologize if Vance has to be in school until after the game starts.

[Flames24Rulz]

Boooooooo

[Andy]

I almost wish I gave a crap about the Bears so I could enjoy this stuff.

[Brian]

Devin should stick to returning :lol:

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hester singing the stretch? That has the potential for some great hilarity.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Hello Wrigley Field, I missed you.

[da bears]

Devin Hester you are awesome.
