The Official Thread of Opening Day

Dammit, where is the Cubs glorious offense?

 

Jeff Francouer just can't watch any pitch above his ankles and below his eyes go by.

 

Anyone know if Podsednik is out just because he wasn't quite ready, or is it more serious?

 

Give it time. Harang won't last past the seventh today.

 

Yeah, they totally shouldn't have fired Dusty.

 

Mark Prior won't be joining the I-Cubs for Opening Day. He is staying in Arizona for extended spring training.

 

Dude, Neifi totally would have flown out to left instead of popping up on the infield last inning.

 

Fun getting a team of minor-leaguers as the opposition to start (though Patterson is not minor leaguer when he is healthy):

Hanley Ramirez with four hits, four runs and 2 SBs.

Uggla and Cabrera with upper-deck HRs to left-center.

 

Shallow left. On a looper.

 

A-Rod stolen base leads to go-ahead run in the 7th

 

Ryan Freel answers the question 'What would happen if Ronny Cedeno played centerfield?' Throws it into the third base bleachers. 3-1 Reds.

 

Nice piece of hitting by Giambi.
