    Why did they paint the reverse side of the marquee in their old green colors? Are they planning on reversing it on occasion or something?

    lmao, they thought 'yeah we are one of the 16/30 teams that make the playoffs every year' was a selling point to FAs? Even funnier is that this influenced their decision to keep Pau and they still didn't make the playoffs.

    I might be in the minority, but I wish they wouldn't have done this. That home run was amazing, but it was also one of 6 that day in a non-clinching NLDS win in a season that ended in the NLCS. No need for it to be there permanently. Except that HR was in the clinching game although the HR didn't tie or put the cubs ahead, it was more or less an explanation point in one of the biggest Cubs wins in the last 100 years (although that in and of itself is sad) and was visually a piece of artwork. Edit: David beat me as usual

    I think if he wasn't wearing that ski mask and generally looking miserable in the cold there wouldnt have been as much discussion. Plus I think Joe made some comments last year about how uncomfortable he was out there.

    Finnegan is a lefty so I'm guessing either Soler or Szczur is starting in LF today. Well the reason I say that is because LaStella hits lefties better than righties, Soler's career splits have slightly favored him hitting against RHP (although most of that was his 2014 sample, his 2015 splits were almost even in terms of OPS), and of course the controversial "soler sucks in the cold".

    what in the hell? I pity the guy that actually took the time to put that graphic together thinking he found some way to make the Cardinals look better than the Cubs. This must be hard on all of them.

    Sucks Lester starts the home opener, I'd love to see the full lineup in there. Looks like temps will be in the mid-40s for this one. Will be interesting to see if Soler plays or they keep the red hot TLS in the lineup and Bryant in LF.

    In that case, I'll leave it up to you to create the playoff thread with a great title. No pressure jersey.

    No playoff hype? Blues/Hawks starts Wednesday From looking online, virtually every prediction I've read has been the Blues. I think the trendy pick is 'Hawks have a lot of issues and this is the Blues year to finally get over the hump" However I see it as 'We saw this two years ago and heard the same things, why would this year be different?' I say Hawks in 6 First Round: Hawks in 6 Stars in 7 Ducks in 5 Kings in 5 Panthers in 6 Lightning in 5 Caps in 4 Rangers in 7

    Historically has Fowler been as streaky as he was last year? By that I mean he was pretty bad until mid-July and then freaking awesome the rest of the year. If so, I don't want him to waste his good half in the 1st half!

    Crane on the Score said that the Schwarber ball has been put back on top of the RF video board

    Can I just say that I'm still dumbfounded that the DBacks gave up so much for Shelby Miller. He's not a bad pitcher by any means but they gave up a haul for an top 10 ace when Miller is more of a low end #2

    Sole possession of first place at stake tomorrow night between the 5-1 Reds and 5-1 Cubs

    What is this demonry? I can't watch, is Jake just not sharp today?
  17. UMFan83
    Heyward has a consistent track record of MLB success
  18. UMFan83
    That's probably as far as you can hit a ball and not have a HR
  19. UMFan83
    Not that spring training matters but Soler was hitting like .150 there. Regular season starts and he's hitting .115ish.
  20. UMFan83
    lol @ spending all that money on the retro facade only to have it end up looking like that

    Hey maybe they can beat the odds and Indiana lose out while they win out. *checks pacers schedule and sees Brooklyn, New York and Milwaukee* Ok horsefeathers that
  23. UMFan83
    This team is really good no doubt but I'm still hurting a bit from the injury to be considered giddy. I will get there in due time though.
  24. UMFan83
    16 base runners for the Cubs today but only 4 runs
  25. UMFan83
    I'm going to be irrational in my judgements of Soler because of how fresh the Schwarber injury is.
