  1. I live a little NW of wrigley but if conditions here are any indication, the wind will be blowing hard IN.
  2. They have pixie dust/devil magic going on. I expect it to continue as long as Yelich & Cain are in Brewers uniforms. Outside of Hader, their pitching staff is horrible. That's where the pixie dust comes in. They went pretty far with that bad pitching staff last year.
  3. Brewers are 12-7 with a -2 run differential. That seems sustainable They have pixie dust/devil magic going on. I expect it to continue as long as Yelich & Cain are in Brewers uniforms.
  4. Getting an extension done with Javy should be priority #1, 2 and 3 for the front office.
  5. Yeah I think he's pretty healthy now but I'm also worried about the shoulder long-term. I wish he had kept the two-handed swing.
  6. Ok maybe 1 year. His stats from 2017 are pretty excellent but I remember concerns about lack of dongs, not being clutch, general silliness regarding rbis, etc.
  7. I think people have PTSD from his past 1.5 years or so. He's gotten off to hot starts and then gotten derailed a little bit. He really juiced that ball in the RF gap. I think he'll be ok and it's been great that Bote/Hey/etc. have been able to pick up the slack.
  8. I’m starting to become a bote believer. Feels like we should have had more than 4 runs. Still, the offense feels like 2015-2017 fun and good so far. Can really play the hot hand with all these versatile players. It feels like heyward is going to get a hit every time up.
  9. I was 100% prepared to hate Descalso but he's been v good.
  10. It was probably ol' Joe Ricketts himself.
  11. Rizzo has already smashed the biggest dong of the day, you monster.
  12. Gamecast says 472 feet. Can that be right? Would clear the RF scoreboard you'd think.
  13. No way LaStella doesn't leave town without clubbing some dongs.
  14. Heyward looks like he's about to rob a bank lol.
  15. Oh snap Yu going with no sleeves. Maybe he's ready to finally shove.
  16. I'm sure he's going to do great with every single person in the building doubting him.
  17. Imagine how good they would have been with even competent coaching. They kind of wasted Aaron Rodgers.
  18. So much salt from the rest of the league. Ha! I love it.
  19. I don't want a reasoned explanation, I just like to complain. Achiever want beisbol.
  20. I hate the early season schedule so much. It's friggin' gorgeous out in Chicago today and yet no game. I will remember this when the Cubs don't get a single off day the second half of the season.
  21. Well I like the lineup 1-7. Yes, even Descalso. Also, what's with everyone responding with a picture of Shaq wearing a Cubs hat?
