    Cubs did an amazing job with Sloan Park. Finally got to go see it yesterday and it was a blast. Bryant didn't play which was a shame but Soler and Coghlan did put one in the lawn right next to us.

    Yeah, it's a really nice park. Definitely one of the best spring parks in the valley.
    I was there on Saturday. Got waaaay too much sun!

    Baez deserves to be sent down. Good fielder but my god he is awful at the plate. I mean just downright loathsome.
    We all know why Bryant got the designation; see ya in 3 weeks!

    Yep, dude strikes out way too much for what power he does provide. He's gotta figure it out in Iowa.

    You Cubs fans are crazy. "You know how many casinos have been built on bets on the Cubs to win the World Series?"....lol

    Funniest thing I've read so far about Cubs spring training:
    "Baez needs to stop swinging at every balled-up hot dog wrapper blowing in the wind."

    That is hilarious!
    And it is the truth.

    No construction during home games. Though if there are night games, there will be some construction during the day.

    So the construction workers are guaranteed about 60 days off during the summer. Great.

    This project will be finished around 2035.

    0-13 with RISP. Great way to start the season boys!

    I know it's only opening day but I saw some of the same old typical cubs last night..lazy Castro not getting to popups that should be a can of corn.. Lack of clutch hitting as mentioned by last exit..not able to lay off sweeping curve balls a la Corey Patterson (yes I know wainwright has sick stuff), Olt basically calling himself out on strikes by running to first on a questionable check swing before the ump makes the call..soler he's a tank but can he field his position?? 62-100 is on the radar.

  • Wma31394Wma31394 Posts: 3,045
    The most shocking stat I saw was that Lester has not attempted a pickoff move for 2 years..yes I'm talking about just a throw over to first to keep a runner close..155 mil and you have the yips throwing to first?? Wow I think the cardinals had at least 3 stolen bases.... Speedy i know you were watching the 10 commandments but please chime in... Lol

    once the cubs win the world series they will just be another team, until then we must take pride in that we root for the biggest losers of all time. :murica:

    I like the one that says bars and restaurants are held to a code by the health department,
    apparently Wrigley field isn't.
    and of course the guys pissing their pants.

    I hope no one gets a staph infection. I wonder is anyone called the health department?

    Nice win today. 3-2 to start the year after playing a couple solid teams.

    Will Bryant arrive at Wrigley this week?

    The Cubs are 2 games over .500 for the 1st time since 2009?

    This is the 4th day, since THEO took over that the Cubs are .500 or better.
