5/1 Braves (Teheran) @ Cubs (Lackey) 1:20 WGN

A time machine? Probably not going to be a ton of cheap tickets to be had this year.

 

This weekend? Plenty of them.

 

For ones like bleacher seats? I figured those would always have demand on the weekend, even when the weather stunk.

The bleachers were like half full at best on Friday.

[BigSlick]

Can John Lackey close his mouth?

He's got Gary Busey disease.

 

This will be our first full length game Federowicz experience so...that's something at least.

 

Somewhat surprised to see Bryant in when you could have given him a solid 3 days off in a row, but that just indicates to me his rolled ankle wasn't that big of a deal. Pound these fools!

You get plenty of empty seats when the weather stinks, but that doesn't necessarily mean those sold tickets will be going for cheap. Like I said, I'm mainly going off of the success I've had selling my just OK seats so far this season.

wooooooooo!

 

Ric Flair and Joe Maddon already drunk

[David]

i can't think of ric flair without remembering davell's story about him

[David]

btw where the hell has davell been since the season started?

 

i see he made a post 3 days ago, so he's not dead

[BigSlick]

Alright Lackey you big dumb idiot here's a garbage team you can make some hay with

[David]

ump is not giving him that outer edge so far

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Quick work.

[BigSlick]

Wow, I guess Teheran won't get that outside corner either

 

I like our hitters with a tight zone over theirs for sure

[David]

would be really interested in seeing what a sweep in pittsburgh would do to our division odds...6 up on pitt, at least 6 up on st louis

 

if we win today, i mean

[BigSlick]

Was hoping that ball would dribble around long enough for Heyward to get to first

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-4 (.778) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 3-1 (.750) when they do

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-1 (.875) when they steal a base.... 10-4 (.714) when they don't

[BigSlick]

Ah well, made the dude work for it

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Damn. Oh well, good inning, regardless. Tehran won't last long.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[BigSlick]

Lackey looking very good

[Tim]

Does LaStella have to take 3-4 steps towards first to throw it that far?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 16-5 (.762) when they give up hits.... 1-0 (1.000) when they don't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I see what you did here Fred

[Gilby]

30 plate appearances without a K for La Stella to start the season

[BigSlick]

This guy keeps elevating for an out pitch and let me tell you, he's gonna regret it later
