04/05 Nationals (Strasburg) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20 CDT,WGNTV
Soul replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
$100 bucks for cold bleacher seats in April. And you'll need to burn a vacay day. Yes, I certainly understand the apathy. Why doesn't MLB do their big bash on a Sunday at least? It makes little sense to me. -

Ehh, Starsburg's 21 K performance will be more exciting through their eyes, anyway Oh no you don't. You are required to believe in this team on opening day. We're winning, period. -
Re: Games in which the Cubs are not playing
Soul replied to El Duderino's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
*sigh* that thing is going to remain silent for awhile -
That's some hard hitting analysis, for sure.
-
Not much else to do but hope he can pull it together for the playoffs. So that's what I'll do.
-
Not quite our finest moment this year.
-
With this game, the Bulls began a 6 game run on nationally broadcast TV. It sure would be nice to see Rose declared 100% healthy now, and work his way back during this stretch, when I can watch :) The big bash in the stetch will be the Heat @ United Center on April 12, and if Rose is back to form by that time, it could be one heck of a nice late-season matchup on TNT.

Bernstein should work to cut ties with Boers. I might be able to listen to him on his own, or with someone else. Boers is unlistenable at this point. He ruins that show, completely. And the fact that Bernstein simply sits there and lets him ruin it makes it doubly frustrating. They're both much better without the other. I've heard each of them with sub hosts, and they can have rational conversations. They get together and it's just their same old schtick. It can be enjoyable, but it can also get really [expletive] annoying Yeah, the "shtick."
-
Well, I'm not going to just declare they're done. But it wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't hold up defensively, resulting in an early exit. Hopefully they tighten it up and get (stay) hot. We do have a nice core of experienced playoff players.

I don't know. I was hoping to see some sort of confirmation pop up, but I haven't seen it yet :(

Eh, there are some Dodger fans scattered around the country. It's not the Cubs or Yanks, for sure. It seems like a lot of money to pay, but look at McCourt. He went from $420 million to $2 billion in just 20 years of ownership. *AND* he gets to keep part of the enterprise. Yikes. He made out like a bandit. And he sucked.
-
Now I can let it sink in that we've finally matched up a top WR with a top QB. It will be fun to see this unfold. No more trouble, Brandon.
-
I'm going with 75. And a few bright spots to fuel our future.
-
I thought an implicit part of the deal was that Miller would pretend to be Cub fans when advertising in Chicago. I mean, of course it's a lie, but so many things are....
-
I've never seen so much drama and intrigue leading up to a baseball season.
-
I think those sneaky Miller ad execs pulled a fast one on us, and we were so far gone nobody cared.
-
There is no one critical possession, any possession is critical in sudden death. And they are not guaranteed by any means to win on that opening possession. Both teams do get a shot, unless you give up a touchdown. Starting OT on defense doesn't = not having a shot. Yep, it's not as simple as just giving each team an offensive possession.
-
last team the cubs played at wrigley last year Sure, but that's not the point.
-
Forget the Tokyo game, did people realize the Marlins open with a 1-game series at home against STL? If Miami doesn't hit a HR in that game we'll have to wait almost 2 weeks for their next home game. It should be Zambrano that triggers it first. I don't think I can wait that long. There better be a Marlins HR Wednesday night.
-
Yeah, but that's a road game against a top team. If he's not really ready I don't know if it's worth it to put him out there.
-
None of this matters anyway. Everyone knows the season won't start until the first Marlins HR.
-
For what purpose? It's not like they always had every team play at the same time. Opening day has fluctuated for years. There is MLB's opening day, but also opening day for every individual team, including home openers for teams that open on the road. I see nothing wrong with this sort of marketing concept where teams play in foreign locales. And if they do play outside the country there is little choice but to have it at odd hours and prior to other teams games since they have to travel so far. Personally if they ever do get around to promoting the game more in Europe, I'd love to attend a Cubs opener in Italy or somewhere similar. I enjoyed getting up early to watch the Cubs in Japan a decade ago. Opening day evolves and it's not like this sort of thing happens every year. Understood, but it's still weird when the season has started and the bulk of your biggest market doesn't even realize it.
-
I don't like the idea of giving a team, who just failed to stop their opponent in any way, a mandatory 4-down drive all the way down the field to try to make up for their failure.
-
It's never a good thing when our P.A. announces a Hawks POWER PLAY and the whole stadium rolls their eyes.
