4/1 - Pirates (Correia) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20pm WGN

[E.J.]

So will this be the longest thread of the season or are we going to be good this year?

[Guest]

Whoa. Quade means business!

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh God, I'm drinking a bottle of Old Style for my old man since he couldn't make it into town for the game and that's kind of his thing on opening day...and it's so, so bad. COME ON, DAD. Pick a better beer because I'm going to have to do this for the rest of my life.

 

Just buy an Old Style beer huggy. No one will know the difference.

 

Well, I have to use the Cubs beer huggy/cozy/whatever that he gave me.

 

It's quite the conundrum.

It's up to the Cubs.

[ELCABALLO45]

That was kind of a good pitch by that kid

[erik316wttn]

And the SECOND "first pitch"......

[muntjack]

Ugh, Comcast not having WGN is driving me insane. MLB EI has a free preview but it's this horrible new ROOT Pirates broadcast.

They just said on the Phillies game on ESPN that every time a Phillie has swung at a pitch today that a ball was put in play. They don't have one foul ball or strike swinging. It's the bottom of the 5th with 2 outs, that has gotta be close to a record.

our first step toward the world series.

Gotta admit, that IS pretty impressive.

Ahhh Len & Bob. Nice to hear their voices again.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeesh. That is quite the ghoul in the throwback Pirates cap being shown while they listed the Bucco's lineup.

[Sammy Sofa]

Did the Pirates tweak their black jerseys for this year? I'm liking how they look.
