4/6 Cubs (Lackey) at Cardinals (Lynn) 12:45 CSN
mul21 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Perfect. I can get sloppy at the game tomorrow and was going to have to stay relatively sober today. I will probably have an extra free ticket if anybody is in town. -

When the hell did you move to St. Louis from Seattle (or wherever exactly it was in the pacific NW)? A year ago, I made a bunch of posts about it. just kidding, it was a month ago We should drink and watch Cubs games and laugh at Cardinals fans together. I've been kind of on an island since woodchip left.

Your short on both food and beers. You going PFT Commenter on us now?

Holy horsefeathers that's great People really need to use the horsefeathering tweet tags.

I'm going to the first game in Milwaukee next Friday night. I expect there to be 80% + Cubs fans I'm likely going to the opener at Busch. Tickets are stupid for opening day here but a coworker with season tickets (who's also a Cubs fan) probably can't go and I'm getting them cheap. I'll be slightly surprised if there's a big Cubs contingent that night.

They have one of the top ranked catching prospects, #65 overall per BA, in AAA. Didn't realize that. I thought about checking but I was far too lazy to. Why is that not being mentioned more in this storyline? I guess playing them both and working him in (assuming he has success) as Molina fades out isn't a terrible arrangement either. This is the part that may be an issue for them. In addition to Matheny being a veteran nuthugger, I imagine Molina likely won't take kindly to being relegated to a backup role and might get a little redassed about it knowing his personality.

Vegas has win total for the Reds around 70 most places. I'm tempted to put a not small amount of money on the under.

Like most teams it probably all depends on how well their pitching performs. They have a ton of question marks in their rotation ranging from guys coming back from injury to under performing last year, Martinez is the only sure fire bet. Their bullpen is pretty good so not too many issues there. They shouldn't have too many problems scoring and should be a top ten scoring offense. The defense is going to cost them dearly several time this year, they are just awful defensively, their range is atrocious. I agree with you Duke, they may be lucky to win 81 games if their rotation falters. If their rotation steps up they'll be in the fight for at least a wild card. The generally sub par defense, especially on the infield, is going to wreak as much havoc on guys like Leake as it did last year and it's going to make the pitching staff look markedly worse than it probably really is.

Yep.

This was kind of how I was looking at it. Didn't really think it was a big deal.

And don't forget to factor in the financing plan Zell required for the purchase so he didn't have to pay as much in taxes on the sale. That factor alone greatly narrowed the field of potential buyers so we possibly end up with the Ricketts anyway.

I'm torn as to what I would enjoy more, them signing him to some huge dollar contract and then him being terrible or the absolute hell that will break loose when they don't sign him at all.

I'm not a big Michigan fan, but any time one of the rigatoni boys loses I'm a happy camper.

Happ just went deep again. Kid is killing it right now.

My earliest Cubs game memory is my grandparents 50th anniversary celebration being at Wrigley. No memory of the game, but it was June 1993. Random Tuesday in June 2002 where Alex Gonzales hit a walk off HR. Stupid one pitch Rich Hill and the lead off HR by Chris young in NLDS game 3 2007. May 14th 2012 when I took my daughter to her first game ever. Cubs beat the Cards at Busch. Game 5 of the 2016 WS. Nuff said.

Especially since they named Walker the intern and he would then be suspended if they were selected. But, it won't happen. What's this?
-
Obviously not the same type of movement or stress on that part of the body, but Wainwright blew his out on opening day and pitched in October, so an additional month is probably not completely out of the question timewise. Especially when you consider this guy is 10+ years younger and probably in better shape to begin with.
-
I can't believe how bad this team ended up. Defensive intensity is non existing, offensive strategy is 20 years behind. Good job, good effort. :roll: How do you lose to a team that had their routine that screwed up by 20? Yeesh.

Top 108 Moments for the 2016 Cubs (Now complete!)
mul21 replied to bukie's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I live in St. Louis and had to pull a lot of strings to make it up for the weekend they were in Chicago for the WS. I'm jealous of those that can go to games on the regular. -
Four Peaks Brewery tour. Hike Camel Back (but try not to have to crap your pants halfway up like I almost did).

Top 108 Moments for the 2016 Cubs (Now complete!)
mul21 replied to bukie's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This game was probably generally more exciting, but watching WS Game 5 in the bleachers with the KB homer and 2 2/3 innings of nothing but tension from Chapman was absolutely nuts as well. I would imagine any home playoff win this year would go down as the best game you'd ever been to though.
