Hey Jake, what's with the badge on the Pirates' sleeves?

Oh sweet, it's 2008 again!

 

I wish. I'll gladly take another 97-win season.

 

Fun fact: The Cubs lost their first two games of the season in 2008.

 

Of course, the Cubs also lost their first two games in 2010 but that season obviuosly didn't go very well.

Nice to have Wood back.

 

GET SOME GOD DAMN RUNS!

[MWV]

Two Ks. Welcome back, Kerry.

We started 1998 8-2, I think.

[Outshined_One]

Fergie trying his best to speed things up.

[Omar]

Lets get motivated!

[Little Slide Rooter]

On the bright side, I really like the back end of our bullpen, but its irrelevant if we never get to that point in the game with a lead.

[MWV]

Pena is trying to bunt? I know the shift is on, but really?

[bcl412]

This game is frustrating as hell.

I don't mind if he shows it, but that sequence of events was kind of strange. The guy isn't exactly great at it.

Random fact:

 

The Cubs are 1-7 in the second game of the season since 2003. Their only win came in 2007.

[Outshined_One]

Did Soriano not realize what happened?

[bcl412]

Cubs fans yelling at Soriano are [expletive].

[Omar]

Soriano could've gotten to first?

[SpongeWorthy]

Jesus christ soriano

[NotSoSober]

WTF is Soriano doing? Can he not go to 1st?

[UMFan83]

lol I was just about to say that Soriano was doing a good job that AB at laying off horrible pitches. Whoops.

[Careless]

Did Soriano not realize what happened?

how could he not? The pitcher was erunning in, the catcher clearly had no idea.

[Schwarber Fan]

you can't take first there, can you?

[Sosa21MVP]

Wow Sori. Really?????

[Outshined_One]

you can't take first there, can you?

 

Apparently, with a runner on 1st, you need two outs to advance on a WP strikeout.

 

I think?

[Bruno7481]

Guys...

 

1B was occupied, Soriano can't go anywhere.

[MWV]

Can't take first on dropped 3rd strike with a runner on first and less than 2 outs.
