Go CUBS !!!

 

 

 

I am confident that sometime soon Treymon will shake out the cobwebs and realize that he's up to bat, and grace us with another one of his ingeniously creative game threads.

McCarthy has not been very good this year.

i thought brandon mccarthy was a handsome dude, why does he look like such a stupid nerd in that picture

His personality doesn't appear in the photo.

At least McCarthy doesn't have a stupid hill-rod looking goatee.

[Sammy Sofa]

absent castillo, this is pretty much the dream lineup everyone is wishing for right now, yes? maybe bonifacio for ruggiano, i guess, but i think i'd lean this way.

[Guest]

What a dream it is.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

i'm pretty sure nobody's dream lineup, even with this roster, includes bonafacio.

[Guest]

If at the end of every two weeks we sent Bonafacio to Mesa for extended spring training for a week, would he come back and kick ass each time?

 

Isn't it worth a try?

[treebird]

shout out to the 200 people at the game tonight

[NOLA]

Apparently both the inside and outside corners are being called strikes against Castro.

[ScrubMD]

Rizzo's walks are giving my boner a boner.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hopefully the Ricketts have eyes and actually care. April night game isn't even a quarter full - awful.

after opening day, i'm not going to a game below 55 degrees unless it's a playoff game.
