***OFFICIAL CUBS REGULAR SEASON THREAD***

[ssckelley]

Wind is howling out, might be a high scoring affair. I predict Castillo hits his first today.

Go Cubs!

Good start to the home opener, Cubbies. This is going to be a long season.

Cubs got them right where they want them ... now, there is no lead to protect.

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

At this rate my interest in the Cubs will be exhausted before we turn the calendar to May.

As long as the beer is cold.......swing away

Really going to be fighting the astros for that first pick in the 2014 draft.

 

[Doublewide]

Cubs suck who woulda guessed. Maybe next year!

Too bad they don't have the Disastros to kick around the division anymore.

Y'all want the Power Ball numbers now?

 

[woodyk1]

Marmol is in! OK, Cubs are already down 7-2.

Gorzelanny lives in Iowa City???? Some of you proles need to find him.

why, can he close?

He struck out Rizzo, so he must be good.

haha, I gotcha....obviously I was not even watching the game.

Rizzo has struggled against lefties.

He and Samardjaksdjfakasjfd are on my fantasy team so I tend to watch most Cub games. He does struggle with lefties. It's almost like he is just trying to foul them off and get a walk rather than get a hit. Does not look comfy up there at all.

At least somebodies watching them. If they keep playing like this they could end up with a high draft pick in 2014 as well. I am not comfortable with the front office putting this much emphasis on the prospects they have coming through the system. Fans are going to expect them to be the saviors to the organization and it should not be that way.

R Hill, B Hill, Patterson, Pie, Prior, Wood, Hundley (Soto rookie of the year tho.., Murton maybe a reach?)

He goes to Iowa games quite frequently, he is good friends with one of the baseball coaches. Nice guy we saw him walking by the student section and he was cool enough to talk for a while.

Yep, Choi was another recent "can't miss". In 2002 Cubs had the top rated farm system, of that class none of them are playing in the majors.

Nice comeback from an early 3-0 deficit tonight vs Brewers.
