4/16 Rockies (Bergman) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 1:20PM CSN

[Clem Fandango]

Making this early because I'm on a set and wont have time tonight. Who is Christian Bergman? Sounds like a guy who loves watching dongs fly over his head. He's facing Jake Arrieta, who may or may not have been Michaelangelo's inspiration for David (the sculpture of the perfect man, not the robot [haha I'm so original]). But seriously Jake and this offense is gonna trounce these flash in the pan buttholes.

 

Addison Russell is also going to make Trevor Story look like Cardinal era Ryan Theriot.

 

That is all.

[Banedon]

No cure for a game like today's than Jake Arrieta up next.

[Butterscup]

todays game was dumb and bad. tomorrow should be cool and good.

[Derwood]

Probably won't be able to watch this one, so I'm guessing Cubs win 20-0

[Fred Hornkohl]

Memo to Game Thread starters............

at bat: the Logan (0-0) - Sat 16 Apr vs. Colorado

[Schwarber Fan]

#Cubs lineup: Fowler CF, Bryant 3B, Rizzo 1B, Soler RF, Baez 2B, Russell SS, Szczur LF, Ross C, Arrieta P

 

Days off for Heyward and Zobrist

[UMFan83]

Lot of confidence in Jake to sit 3 regulars. But JAVY!

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, also lots of confidence in how the 1-6 part of the lineup looks pretty horsefeathering awesome, too.

this weather is in no mans land where i can't decide whether to chance it with short sleeves or not.

 

inland it's in the 70s but i'm damn sure it's gonna be a lot cooler by the lake

Yesterday it was burning hot in the sun and was kind of chilly in the shade, so it depends on your seats. Although I think today is even warmer than yesterday.

[Cubswin11]

Javy, Soler and Bryant are all Dongin' today

Yeah, I'm in the second row of the 200s on 3B side so it's pretty shady...a little sun but not much

also the forecasts are wildly different... weather.com says mid 60's in 60613, accuweather says high 50s, and wgn says low 70s but i can't specify an area of the city there

Derwood, are you free in June? Because that's when your game thread starting skills will be required.

[RammyFanny]

We had 12$ nosebleeds seats yesterday, got there early before they checked tickets, decided to grab a really good seat to see what happened, and ended up hitting the lottery as pretty much every seat around us filled in and the people who had our seats were awesome drunks who congratulated us on the seats and sat behind us talking to us all game. So basically payed $12 for like 7th row seats by the first base dugout. It was a blast.

[David]

horsefeathers it...hoody it is

david is browsing the web looking at (weather) models.

[David]

your edit was definitely better

[JWCUB]

Wind blowing out yet?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

A JavyBomb would be great.

[Gilby]

This pitcher sounds like one of those made up baseball players that pitched for us 2012 or something.
