  1. Just got home to see the game. Not ready to start a game thread, therefore the Cubs will score at least one run in the top of the 10th.
  2. I always pictured Dusty calling a pitchout when there’s a full count. Or issuing a IBB with the bases loaded just so the batter doesn’t hit a grand slam.
  3. For a very long time, the Reds always were the first game of the MLB season. In 1982 the Cubs faced the Reds and Mario Soto. Bump Wills (son of Maury) deposited the first pitch of the MLB season over the fence. Incidentally, this was Ryne Sandberg’s first game as a Cub. Cubs went on to win 3-2 in 8 innings.
  4. Don’t know if it was mentioned in the previous pages, but anyone remember the last time a Cub hit the first pitch of the first MLB game on Opening Day for a HR? Hint - it was at Riverfront Stadium.
  5. Be excited you were “original”. Be depressed you will probably get zero points from him
  6. Who figures out first that the 2017 Chase Anderson turned into the real Chase Anderson in 2018: Brewers fans or Chase Anderson??
  7. The private message I've tried to send is still in my outbox.
  8. 13 is unlucky. Need at least one more game thread starter!
  9. I'll probably that schmuck once in a while, but most likely not due to Customs.
  10. PackLandVA's Team Entry Group A :: Nelson Cruz [sEA] JD Martinez Group B :: Nolan Arenado Group B :: Paul Goldschmidt Group C :: Bryce Harper Group C :: Miguel Sano Jose Ramirez Group C :: Freddie Freeman Group D :: Kole Calhoun AJ Pollock Group D :: Alex Bregman Group D :: Max Kepler Group D :: Adrian Beltre Jesus Aguilar Group D :: Carlos Gonzalez
  11. Gotta admit, was feeling a little special when I opened my private messages. Then I saw this. #-o
  12. Meh, Darvish is signed already, so no biggie! :amen:
  13. I saw him out at a golf range last fall. He opens up his hips too soon which is causing him to push the ball to his left. Needs to work on keeping his hips closed through impact.
  14. I've never been part of this in the past , but would be interested in giving it a try. I've been having a bit of tendinitis flareups of my metacarpals, though.
  15. If the runner on second scores, is it an “earned run”, and if so, who is it charged to? Could make a difference in a player’s contract.
  16. The should install lights. For night games.
  17. Don't sleep on Brett Anderson!
  18. Nelson had 6 TDs in the first 5 games, of which he only played in 4. AR got hurt in Game 6. Nelson caught ZERO TDs the rest of the year. Stating he is only good if he plays with the best QB in the league is an absurd statement since it's basically the only QB he's played with. And playing the remainder of last season (while injured) with a guy who showed he is not an NFL backup, let alone a starting QB. Nelson isn't what he was a few years ago, but I think he'll still be damn productive. And GB won't cut him, they'll most likely restructure for another year. Cobb is probably gone.
  19. Was there any update on Simmons? Injured or ineffective? Anything serious?
  20. I hope they don’t just use any old golf cards, but rather the cool ones with the giant baseball caps on the roof!, =D>
  21. Sailed. That’s too bad. I’m hoping/was hopeful he could be an MLBer.
  22. Is Carson Sands ever gonna be a “thing” or has that ship sailed??
  23. Ummm, what does this mean?? 8-[
