I remember this board was super excited that Hendry finally went after an OBP guy for the top of the Cubs lineup. He had a .380 OBP with the Pirates that year.

 

Traded to the Cubs, he then put up a .244/.289/.308/.597 line, was flipped to the Yankees when the Cubs fell out of it and was even worse before getting suspended for PEDs the next season.

[Omar]

I predict #3, Guido will win this game's Sausage Race.

[David]

I'd just like to re-state how much I horsefeathering hate off days.

[Smack]

Glad they're finally in town! I'm going Tuesday/Wednesday and was going to go Thursday but I couldn't get the day off work. :(

Calling Heyward's first homer in this game. Hitters park and Chase Anderson is garbage.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Just got tickets to Saturday's game. Will be my first time at AT&T.

Bill Hands started for the Cubs on my birthday. He took the loss in a 2-1 against the Mets at Shea. The Cubs fell to 39 games below .500, and 28 games out of first, on their way to their worst season in franchise history.

 

Of course, I was born at night so the first actual Cubs game after my birth was a 12 inning, 6-5 victory against the Braves that was started by Robin Roberts and won by Fergie Jenkins in relief.

[Stu]

Looking at Cubs boxscores in 1965, what was Leo Durocher thinking batting Beckert leadoff? .270ish OBP?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

The Cubs and Jamie Moyer lost to the Giants 3-1 when I was born. But Paul Noce did hit his first bomb of the 1987 season.

[CubinNY]

I was born January 6th, 1969. The future looked bright for the northsiders when I was born, The Cubs finished strong in '68 with an 84-78 record, but we all know how that turned out.
