4/2 cubs (jacksy) @ pirates (morton) - 6:05 ct (csn+)

[treebird]

i am treymon welcome to gam thread

 

the cubs sucked in game 1, but even bad game 1 is better than the day off after game 1. i hate it so much. doubly so when we didn't score a run in the first game.

 

also, there was a lot of talk in gam thread for game 1 that no one would be paying attention to gam thread starting with game 2. NOT ON MY WATCH YOU JACKALS. everyone should pledge a number of posts they plan to make in this thread so that we can be assured gam thread 2 is even better than gam thread 1.

 

in conclusion, edwin is going to have a good year so that will start now. hopefully the cubs can get him a run or two.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I'll make at least a page worth of posts.

[Guest]

I love tree's game threads

 

 

I pledge 20 posts.

Why is Cole not their #2 starter?

[Sammy Sofa]

Tree's gams are the best gams.

[Guest]

[imb]

Go Cubs!

Oh, this offense against Liriano and Cole in back-to-back games would be too depressing.

[weis21]

I'm teaching my night class so I'll miss most of this one. Here's hoping I'll like what I see when I get out. I'm spending the night in town at some gal I work with who DOESNT HAVE CABLE (how is this possible). So I'll almost assuredly watch the game later on replay - win or lose. None of this is interesting or relevant, but I wanted to make a post to add to Tree's game thread because I have mad respect for these.

 

Go cubs and stuff.

The weather forecast further exemplifies why the off day is dumb.

[NOLA]

Any Chicagoans know what the weather is supposed to be for the Philly series?

Now now, the game time temps will be over freezing.

I throw in a couple random posts like this one. Let's get some runs.

[Guest]

So Tree is actually Derrick Rose apparently.

Hahahaha

[ctcf]

I pledge at least seven posts making fun of Kyle in a desperate attempt to fit in here.

[wvcbxl]

You obviously can't let this Cubs team play on 4/1 - that would be too obvious. :-"

[Jake]

I bid 100 quatloos on the newcomers.

Why is there no gam today?

[Cubswin11]

Why is there no gam today?

They usually build an off day in to the opening series of the year to accommodate for any potential bad weather/canceled game on opening day.

It would make a tone more sense to schedule the off day for Thursday so you can take care of any of the 3 games that might get canceled, but MLB is all knowing so whatever.

Teams charge more for opening day tickets and this gives teams a chance to schedule a rainday and still honor the premium value of the ticket.
