3/31 - Cubs (SHARK!) @ Pirates (Liriano) - 12:05 CT WGN/ESPN

[Sammy Sofa]

My rational response is to dump this goofy-faced hump for Vogelbach.

[Crack Wilson]

I don't EVER remember the Bucs with a crowd this big so early in the season. Glad to see that town supporting the team.

 

OK..NOW let's get some runs.

 

Sweet! MY first Cub AB for the year is a double :wink:

 

Today is an attendance record at PNC.

Thank you......General Question: What are the chances the Cubs are in the wild card race in September?

 

Ulg! I just HATE surrendering outs on the friggin' bunt plays! :banghead:

[MWV]

Can't score? Give away outs!

[illiniguy]

what an unfun team

The fun is coming. One more year.

my mlb.tv crapped out for a minute. did junior lake really bunt bonny from second to third with no one out? was it at least a attempt to bunt for a hit?

[Guest]

That is not a lefty, Rizzo, feel free to not look stupid.

 

Unfortunately, Melancon might even be more murderous on lefties than Liriano

[Guest]

this is the best they could do

it was more an attempt to reach on an error

[gscool89]

Uh why is Shark out after 89 pitches?

They get a golden star for effort.

[bukie]

Because it's opening day, and a long season.

Every time there is a late inning tie on the road in Pittsburgh, I have nightmarish flashbacks to the Joe Borowski / LaTroy Hawkins days.

Maybe a trade? Did he hug anyone in the dugout?

Because Bonifacio was on 2nd there's a lot of overlap in the sac bunt v. bunt for hit, but it wasn't just dropped out on the grass. Wasn't a particularly difficult play though, needed to be more towards the line.

This bodes well for the Pirates.

Probably not right away, I have faith in Strop but the options lessen once you get past him.

Good grief....you are joking? I don't follow the "Hot Stove" stuff, but did we not get anybody good?
