4/18 Cubs (Samardzija) vs. Reds (Simon) 1:20 CT WGN

[pitchcs]

Bonifacio - 2B

Lake - LF

Rizzo - 1B

Schierholtz - RF

Castro - SS

Sweeney - CF

Castillo - C

Valbuena - 3B

Sammy J - P

 

I would swap Olt for Sweeney, move VB to 2B and Bonifacio to CF.

Decent weather here today, sunny but a bit cool.

Nothing was worse than last year IMO. We were just as bad, but Castro and Rizzo looked awful and we didn't have Baez and friends to look forward to.

But we aren't living through last year now, so this is worse.

[Guest]

I can't wait until this is all a distant memory.

 

I'm hoping the bottoming out point in misery is the day before the Baez call up.

Just that he still calls it that shows me that he's not ready to start game threads.

Still? This has happened before? How was he not banned, or why hasn't the expletive blotter taken care of it?

terrible parents let horizontal stripe shirt girl freeze out there in pregame. Give that girl a coat!

[Careless]

I could look better at the plate than that

Billy Hamilton, everybody!

That swing on strike 3 looked only slightly better than mine would have.

JD liked it

JD is great: "That may have been the worst major league swing I've ever seen, especially on a fastball right down the middle."

Hahaha. Those were my first thoughts when I saw her. She looked MISERABLE.

The next kid was wearing Costanza's Gore-Tex coat.

JD pulls no punches. I didn't mind Bob at all (liked him mostly), but JD is much better. The Cubs really do have the best booth IMO. I honestly don't want to imagine watching this inept on-field product with average or worse announcers.
