4/1 CUBS (Samardzija) @ PIT (Burnett) 12:35 WGN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Pitching matchup favors Cubs and their lineup is barely any better (both are awful). Advantage: Cubs.

Eww. MLB.tv basic gives Pirates feed

 

You can switch.

[Sammy Sofa]

Me be very happy if this is many of (largely meaningless) Opening Day starts for Shark.

[Hawk4Hall]

Barney did go to the DL.

 

Alberto Gonzalez! :stickman:

Rizzo's hair is gross and WTF was that. Edited April 1, 2013 by Sammy Sofa

Yellow is such a stupid color for a sports team. I want to sweep them.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Man am I ready for baseball!

[Sammy Sofa]

The Pirates have an awesome color scheme, you massive oaf.

Your dissent only convinces me I'm right.

 

It's not even gold. It's just yellow.

[Hawk4Hall]

This lineup is the bees knees.

[Hawk4Hall]

I miss Bob but Jim isn't terrible.

 

It could always be Joe Carter so there's that.

Pretty sure you might be the absolute worst person to have any kind of opinions on fashion or aesthetics or really anything that involves being appealing to the eyeballs.

 

NOW IT'S A GAME THREAD.

Finally, Cubs baseball has returned!

[Sammy Sofa]

Really like Deshaies so far.

it's the same damn scheme as all pittsburgh sports team, black, gold and white.

[Sammy Sofa]

I already want robot umps.

 

And that parrot hat.

[jersey cubs fan]

Really like Deshaies so far.

 

his spring performance doesn't count need to see what he can do when it matters

[Hawk4Hall]

Well darn.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It's basically just nacho cheese colored.

 

The third pitch to DeJesus was a ball. Screwed up the whole PA.

"Jim isn't terrible" is probably the worst thing anyone has said abou Deshaies.

[jersey cubs fan]

300 hits is a possibility

[Old Style]

That first strike on DeJesus wasn't even close.

[Sammy Sofa]

CHEER HIM, YOU ANIMALS.

[Hawk4Hall]

Castro with the Jerome Walton stance. Maybe was just me blocking out last year's disaster of a season for the Cubs, but was that his stance then as well?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If Burnett gives that same pitch to Rizzo that he just gave to Castro, it'll be 2-0.
