Well hello everyone! Do we all get our rings tonight or are we waiting for the home opener?

 

Tim??????

 

Go Cubs!

[Tim]

Ring pops for everyone!

 

 

(they are available at your local store)

[Rob]

I'm still not sure I'm ready for opening day.

 

The Cubs won the World Series last year. All my life, I've waited for that to happen. And it feels like I've had so little time to properly enjoy it and really let it sink in.

 

I guess they'll just have to do it again.

 

Go Cubs !!

Cardinal lineup?

 

Mozeliak: 'Porous' defense will be addressed in offseason" 9/28/16 St.Louis Post DIspatch

though a week early, Derwood's question is valid. The home opener appears to be ESPN only as well. It's BBTN before so they should be able to show it but it's pretty annoying Len won't be on the air for the moment.

 

Living in LA, the game would be blocked out for me if not for ESPN so I'm thankful.

i just noticed mozeliak in this picture and suddenly i understand mojo more than ever

Dex has his head down like holy horsefeathers what did I do

reading his tweets these past couple weeks makes it almost sound like he's trying to talk himself into being happy with his new team.

 

you know there's going to be a moment tonight when he looks into the cubs dugout and is like "damn. i miss that"

[weis21]

hey guys. I forgot how much i missed these game threads. this is the first of the "sinking in" feelings before the first pitch

[Guancous]

Cubs 15, Cardinals 2

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Cubs 15, Cardinals 2

 

I forgot about all the pessimism in the game threads. 2 runs allowed!?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

my nipples have been hard all day anticipating this game and someone just slapped me on the back. will they stay this way forever now?

[soccer10k]

Teixeira just said that with Martinez on the mound, the Cards are just as good as the Cubs.

 

Uh try again there, Mark.

[NOLA]

Ok, I'm pumped for this game. Off Monday, too.

If its also on the Doyers network we are screwed it will be blacked out on espn

[UMFan83]

Did they really skip the Cubs intros or are they randomly letting road team be introduced last or not at all?

 

Edit I guess they are going second

[champaignchris]

I'm calling it right now...

 

Gyorko boots a relatively easy ground ball leading to a Cubs run.

lol so petty

[NOLA]

If the Cards are being dropped off in pick up trucks, I want Schwarber brought in on that electric guitar truck thing from Fury Road.

[David]

"now introducing the world champion cubs, you will probably not get the same level of applause" camera pans to schwarber comes out, crowd roars

[bukie]

new market inefficiency, players rounding the bases in pickup trucks.

[Tim]

I'm down in Dallas. They are showing all the post game for basketball.
