People are still at the bar.

Better to watch from the bar than sit out in the cold rain on a day like today. I was at Wrigley in April '11 to see Zambrano pitch against the Padres. It was in the upper-30s and raining. It wasn't a lot of fun.

Home Run Rizzo. Cubbies up 4-0 in the 3rd.

"Before we got here, I didn't even know who Wellington Castillo was, but there he is, 4 for 4 today."

Castillo has impressed and his recieving skills seem much better this year. Hope he can keep it up and be a key piece of the rebuild

 

[thejumper5]

Marmol's in. Ugh.
