04/05 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Atlanta (Lowe) 3:05 CDT, WCIU & ESPN

[CubbieBum]

Atlanta is going to sweep the Cubs.

 

If you are going to make posts like this for the first series of the season you should just stop posting until the season is over.

 

Unless you are a Braves fan.

 

Bum, are you taking on the job of telling people when they may and may not post ?

 

If you want to make me a mod, sure.

 

As for A-Cal's post ... if he is a Cubs fan then it is pretty pathetic to say that for the first series of the season. It's would be the exact type of downer Cubs fan who is always negative that I can't stand. If he is a Braves fan or anti-Cubs fan then I understand the post.

You keep it up, and I'll make you a distant memory, eh?

Wow, call it a prediction. On paper, we have a chance in the first game. After that, I think we are hosed. Sorry if I think the Braves are a little bit better than you apparently believe.

The Braves are pretty good but teams don't tend to get swept. The Cubs got swept in a three game series all of once last year.

[JonJayCutler]

Finally! I'm pretty excited for tomorrow, but much more excited for April 12th. Nothing beats the Wrigley opener.

[Ihatepujols]

Such a stupid start time. I have one class on Mondays, and it's at 3:00.

and i got a test a 4 est. so i will miss the first 3 innings of 2010 :( :( :(

[Cubs Fan Dan]

I am hardly going to be able to sleep tonight, anyone else have that problem???? Cannot wait for next weekend, going to Friday and Saturdays game in Cincinatti.

You don't think much of Dempster or Wells, eh?

 

These games don't look especially lopsided... not sure what you're talking about.

 

That said, I take no issue with your negative opinion or expectation outside of disagreeing with it. Pretty stupid to criticize a person's standing as a fan (or to say he must be a fan of another team) for posting a negative prediction about their own team.

My final class is out at 3:20...perfect.

 

Baseball is HERE! \:D/ \:D/

[jb10194]

Glad that I have Spring Break this week. Although it doesn't really matter since all of the games this week are night games #-o

Still, it will be nice keeping up with all of the other games this week

[islandcub]

Haha, gotta get those 8 am classes like I have. Not really though, even though I'll be done at 3:30 Eastern, right in time for the game :D)

 

I've missed baseball (and you guys) so much, I can't contain the excitement right now, let's do this.

4:05 Eastern time (or the equivalent where you live) is night?

[Guest]

Sorry, gotta do the plug.

 

Don't forget about the 312sports pregame show tomorrow morning at 10am!

[A-Cal]

I think my sperm count is up right now because of my excitement level. Kudos to ESPN for delivering the awesome coverage on opening day, I didn't expect 7 games!

 

:yahoo:

[ELCABALLO45]

I am hardly going to be able to sleep tonight, anyone else have that problem???? .

 

Yes

 

Lucky for me, my game starts at 1pm instead of waiting till 3.

 

ITS OPENING DAY!!!!!!!!

It really doesn't feel like baseball is here. I watched the Yankees/Red Sox game and was excited throughout. Now that I can watch a Cubs game, the excitement can only grow.

 

Just over 14 hours left...

[Andy]

BCVM's annual missive (and listening to the library of BCVM-posted Cubs highlights on my iPod) has gotten me fired up. Let's do this.

[Schwarber Fan]

Any guesses on who the ESPN announcers will be this afternoon?

 

I'm guessing O'Brien and Sutcliffe.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I cal the Cubs win 5-3 on a 3 run pinch hit home run by the chosen one.

[C.C.]

What up bitches!!!!! Another year of game threads.

 

"What the [expletive] is lou doing know!"

 

"Marmol pitch [expletive] strikes!"

 

"Riot has no [expletive] range!"

 

"Please don't be hurt Ram! PLEASE!!!"

 

"Soriano [expletive] sucks!!!!!!"

 

"DLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"

 

"RAM!!!!!!!!!!"

 

"Bring up CASTRO ALREADY!!!!!"

 

"SOTO POWER!!!!"

 

Just getting warmed up guys.

Why did you take a course with such a stupid start time ???

 

Because that's the only time said course was offered.

 

Change majors, imo.

I am pretty sure Orel Hershiser said during the Yanks/Socks game that he was going to be doing the Cubs game today.

[soapy]

My expectations aren't where they've been the last few years, but it's opening day, and I'm excited. Go Cubs.

[erik316wttn]

Derek Lowe seems like he is the exact kind of pitcher that would give the cubs fits on opening day. I predict lots of weak grounders.

 

That sinker can give us fits.

 

Anyway, let's make some predictions about Cubs firsts.

 

First Cubs hit: I'll say brand new Cub Marlon Byrd

First run scored: Lee

First opposing batter to K: Rookie Phenom Jason whatshisname

First Cubs relief pitcher used in 2010: Grabow

First Cubs HR: ARAMBOMB!!!

 

Cubs win today 7-2. Book it.
