Field looks like it's in pretty good shape, all things considered. Thanks, Sodfather, for the patented drainage system.

It's cleared up right now but the press seems to think the next expected wave of heavy rain is coming at 3.

It looks like a band will hit about then, but the animated radar seems to indicate that the majority will miss the city. Maybe I'm just hoping though, I'm not even a weather hobbyist.

Is it too late to add a retractable concave-glass (The Simpson Movie-like) dome to the rennovation deal?

[Sammy Sofa]

Ogando

 

THERE'S A WHITE MAN TALKING, DAMMIT.

[SouthSideRyan]

Enough mumbo jumbo, let's hear from Aramis Fan

[haubrich91]

Wonder what the actual attendance is.

[Guest]

So glad you're back Darwin.

[jersey cubs fan]

draw a walk draw a walk draw..

 

 

yay, Starlin drew a walk.

 

Will that one guy eat his hat?

[haubrich91]

Starlin's first walk!

[sneakypower]

hey, finally, a Castro BB

[JockJones]

Starlin BB

[illiniguy]

Wonder what the actual attendance is.

Looks like a few hundred.

[jersey cubs fan]

aggressive baserunning strikes again

[sneakypower]

FFFFFUUUUUU, that would have been a run

[sneakypower]

aggressive baserunning strikes again

that play is pretty much always a DP regardless

For today's attendance game, you're not allowed to just guess crowd size. You have to name everybody, too. #Cubs

[haubrich91]

These double plays are awesome.

[jersey cubs fan]

aggressive baserunning strikes again

 

this time with snow cone catch

[jersey cubs fan]

Is Marmol pitching for them? This guy misses by feet at a time, then right down the middle.

[haubrich91]

Let's get 5 innings in and take the W.

[MWV]

Nice at bat from Valbuena.

[sneakypower]

it's a really a shame we can't see that bat flip more from Valbuena

[sneakypower]

bull [expletive] [expletive], he had no intent to swing at that

 

man, i hate that rule
