Anyone know what time the radio broadcast starts? Is it at 1pm or earlier? I want to hear Pat Hughes open the show as I'm sure he'll have a few words to say about Ronnie.

JonJayCutler · April 1, 2011

It's extremely disappointing to know there are Cub fans who also like the Packers.

Yeah and most of these fans seem to like every other Chicago team too, just not the Bears. What, Ditka sh@t on someone's meatloaf? I don't get it.

I have a unique set of teams myself (Cubs, Bears, Magic, Lightning), but it's not as if I have an aberration for one sport where I choose to root for the #1 rival to the city of teams I root for otherwise. I don't have a genuine problem with it, it's just odd.

Tarp is not yet deployed. Players are out for BP.

Damn right. I have a friend who is somehow a Red Sox fan and a Knicks fan. I want him to be studied by science.

Favorite teams are often determined in childhood and children are retards.

There has to be some whacked out genetics involved.

It's just Cubs and Packers for me. I don't care about basketball or Hockey.

Motion for Fred to put his stats in a spoiler tag. Those posts are smartphone killers

UMFan83 · April 1, 2011

man, why can't we have some good weather for once on opening day? Jesus

I'd almost rather is snow than rain

Yea... would be nice if we could have like a sunny 70 degree day on opening day for once... We certainly didn't have one of those last year.

OH WAIT

What's a "last year?"

I'm trying to remember anything about last year. I remember Castro, Colving hitting some homeruns and that's about all he did and I remember Heyward hitting a home run off us opening day. That's about all I got.

Same here. I honestly don't remember anything about last year. I completely shut out the Cubs from May on. I have no idea why, because I watched them in 2000, 2002, 2006 when they sucked..every game. Last year I just didn't care at all. About the only vivid memory I have of last year was Castro hitting a HR in his first AB in Cincinnati. It feels like I went into a coma at that moment and woke up yesterday as far as baseball is concerned.

illiniguy · April 1, 2011

So we all agree Cubs win 100 plus this year right?

My fearless prediction: Carlos Pena goes yard today, Cubs win 7-3.

hawkeyecub · April 1, 2011

Now when I meet a Cubs/Pistons fan I won't even be surprised.

There's at least one on here.

Right here. Cubs, Pistons, Vikings.

Bote McBoteface · April 1, 2011

How the hell are we only half a game out of first?

yeah, plus, honestly the sample size is so small they're really nothing more than a curiousity

CubmanPi · April 1, 2011

How the hell are we only half a game out of first?

There is no good explanation for this. The Cubs are clearly overachieving this year.

CubmanPi · April 1, 2011

Random fact: "Cubs" translates into Arabic and Pashto as "constipation."

Is this some sort of April Fool's joke?

javy knows my name · April 1, 2011
