We're not only forcing the Diamondbacks to wear throwbacks that have nothing to do with them, but they're hideous too.

 

The only bad thing is the DBacks patch they are wearing on them.

 

agreed

[Guest]

The fact they're playing the Diamondbacks is lame. No old-timey uniforms for them.

 

edit: Not watching, but they are wearing some? wtf? did they just make them up?

 

They're wearing the KC Packers uniforms, which is the team the Federals played 100 years ago today.

I've tuned out so much over the past few years it amazes me when people are even more tuned out than me.

 

It's been mentioned repeatedly that they are playing in the unis of the two teams that played the first game, neither of which was the Cubs (or DBacks for that matter).

Yeah, I'm surprised they're not facing the Cincinnati Red Stockings.

[jersey cubs fan]

I want the Federals hat.

[Schwarber Fan]

pretty much this

[jersey cubs fan]

that's how the game used to be played before all these glory boys ruined it

[Guest]

TIL Wade Miley is left handed

[jersey cubs fan]

Bonifacio is going to get picked

[Guest]

Are we sure that Olt didn't regain his sight by some gypsy curse that blinded Bonifacio? He's leaning back to first the whole time and was barely safe.

[treebird]

oh man bonifacio really wanted to get picked off there. let's revert to the fast pitch softball lead, please.

[Guest]

TIL Wade Miley is left handed

 

lol apparently all the reporters who thought it was news that Olt would start today did too

[thefranchise]

From what I've noticed with Bonafacio is that he's really fast, but has bad/slow reaction time and instincts.

[jersey cubs fan]

Bonifacio is going to get picked

that counts

[treebird]

that was pretty terrible base running

[GlassCow]

1st and 2nd with no outs is horrible for our offense.

[Guest]

Ruggiano seemed pretty convinced that was Ball 4 considering it nearly split the plate.

[treebird]

derrek lee!

[Schwarber Fan]

Rizzo should have bunted. Also, lol @ Ruggiano's at bat. Swing at ball four and then take strike 3 right down the middle.

[Guest]

The Chicago Homer ‏@TheChicagoHomer 1m

I hope these guys realize Wrigley Field cannot accept their wishes because it is a building and not a people.
