my god, that was such a brutal outing by wood.

 

Mid season form. But he was brought back because he's such a good guy in the clubhouse. He's a legend.

[Old Style]

Well that was a very Cub way to lose a game.

[MWV]

Here's hoping the baserunning gets better from here on out.

[jersey cubs fan]

Why does pitch f/x show strike 3 called to Byrd nearly hitting the plate?

 

Because it's very inaccurate? It crossed at the knees.

[Fast Freddie Bynum]

Now that's how you lose a ballgame! ;)

Here's hoping the roster gets better in a hurry.

It's been very good today, just weird for that last AB.

I really think I may have to pay more attention to the Iowa Cubs this year than the club playing at Wrigley. Boy, I already feel like I usually do in August...

[Little Slide Rooter]

Ugh.

[Old Style]

Wait 'til 2015?

[UMFan83]

Meh, not as interested in W/L this year than I am about individual results. I'll have to take a look at the boxscore and see if there's anything worth salvaging from this game.

 

At least the new video board looks nice :)

Ian Stewart killed one in the 9th. He just needed to kill it about a foot farther.

Justin Upton!

 

So glad I tapped out in the 8th.

Feeling the negativity wash over me.

Losing on opening day sucks.

Or even a foot to the left.

[bcl412]

Also, will this be the longest game thread of the year?

I was hoping Mather would hit for Baker.

Potentially.

You mean it isn't?

[Little Slide Rooter]

2 questions:

 

1. Was our lack of offense due more to Strasberg or our lack of offense or a bit of both?

2. Was their lack of offense due more to Dempster or their lack of offense or a bit of both?
