[Brian]

we got a good SS too

[bukie]

I'm worried about Grimm. Hitters are making good contact all over the diamond so far in these first 3 batters.

[David]

i feel like we haven't started out 1-0 in forever

Russell made that look routine.

[Splendid Splinter]

There's Simmons.

We won the opener in 2012, I think, Samardzija had a great game

[Tim]

I dunno, I've enjoyed these espn guys this game. I think kurkjian is my favorite of espn's baseball guys.

[David]

i am not sure there's any schadenfreude i've ever experienced better than seeing cardinal fans whine about the cubs the way we whined about them for years

He's about to get dropped from 4th to 5th in my power rankings

 

Of Cubs relievers

I think it's been 3 years since the Cubs even scored on opening day. They won 3-1 in 2013.

I was off by a year, it was 2013

[Brian]

Wood was one of our best starters and now he's the guy that's going to pitch up 6 in the 9th.

[Brian]

safe to say Dex with the only Team Jordan guy that was active tonight that's not crying himself to sleep?

[Brian]

stupid cavern park

I was kinda hoping Richard would throw, actually.

 

But I guess it doesn't matter a whole lot.

i remember that now... i had my hopes up still that we'd get off to a good start and we had some insanely frustrating losses in atlanta and were never even close to doing anything after that

[BigSlick]

Dex is a [expletive] machine

[Cubswin11]

Dex is a [expletive] machine

This is the side of the plate he's the worst from too

[David]

ok i hate zobrist less now... 2 hits 1 tootblan

[Brian]

tony with a dong to cap it off

[Cubswin11]

Have we gotten a runner to at least 2B every inning tonight except for the 8th?
