I am happy Castro is starting for Swanson instead of Shaw. Go figure.

Hopefully Boyd finds the strike zone today.

[Lagartijo]

I’m glad Swanson is not on in the lineup today. He’s been just horrible at the plate, especially with runners in scoring position. Maybe some time off helps him

Find a way to win another ball game

Ryne Sandberg Day #23

Kind of fitting that the first pitch of the game was a groundout to #23 at second base.

I said that before Boog by the way.

[Lagartijo]

Counsell should have placed Hoerner at 2B and Castro at SS on today’s game. The Cubs are honoring Ryno, so they should have their regular player at 2B

I’m digging the blue unis at home

Big Z loved the blue alternates.

Good to see Seiya barrel one, regardless of result. I figured if a regular got a rest against a righty today, it would be him

[DYMNO]

Hopefully that's a sign of Seiya coming back to life.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Man, Busch and Suzuki crushed those with nothing to show for it. Damn.

I like them for today, but not a fan overall.  They look a bit too "minor league-ish.". Nothing can compare to the pinstripes.

I was gonna say, I haven’t seen them wear the blue uni’s at home since basically that era. Between these and the new light blue unis, we have the best jerseys in the league

This wind business is well past ridiculous at this point. Second year in a row it just blows in almost all the time

One thing we can all agree on though. Those new light blue unis are as good as it gets. I need to get myself a Busch one

After the 07 season the Cubs basically stopped wearing blue at home. They randomly did twice in a row a couple years ago but that's it.

[DYMNO]

I standby by statement yesterday that throwback pullovers would have been awesome today. I am sure it would've been impossible due to both logistics and MLB uniform rules, but it would've been awesome. 

[UMFan83]

Kind of annoying that if they called it right Happ may have been able to advance to 3B instead of having to retreat to 2B.

These Orioles jerseys are one of me favorites too.  I'm partial to a crisp, bright orange.

[Hortonhearsawho]

Cubs are hitting the ball really hard which is good but have had a lot of bad luck so far. 

[DYMNO]

When the offense plays to its capabilities, this team is so much fun.
