I'm normally with you, Matt... But Strop didn't pitch poorly to McCutcheon, IMO. It was just a damn fine at-bat. 90% of guys would have struck out.

Strop sucks ass and it has nothing to do with the way he wears his hat. I have said this for two years now. Fucking goof.

25 pitch 1st inning for Lester and Zobrist pussies a ball into a triple. Oh, the Joe West show behind the plate today too. This has all the makings of a shitfest

These rules about going into bases are so stupid. There was nothing wrong with that slide at all.

Contreras with an inning.

Strange that Pirates won only one game at Wrigley all last season.

holy shit, are they gonna run around calling the cubs THE WORLD CHAMPION CUBS all year? that's like an AV Club geek in high school going around all year calling himself "THE NOT-VIRGIN TOMMY BAKER" or "TOMMY BAKER: CUNTSLAYER EXTRAORDINNAIRE" cuz he got to diddle around with some plump chick a few weeks back.

also, man, today i smelled something funny and i was like "wait... did i forget to shower for the last 3-4 days? AHA! the cubs bullpen is on my television... that's it!"

honestly i think [a healthy] wade davis is better than chapman, but good luck getting to him.... holy shit!

#2016

HEY EVERYONE!!! see, this is how you do it with a modicum of class and style! seriously, going HURR DURR SOX FANS ARE WHITE TRASH is a carryover from "the bad ol days" when your team was traditionally so shit that wielding your supposed [superior] socioeconomic status over your cross-town rival's fanbase was an easy way to "score points" on them, especially when all they had to do was go #2005.

honestly, even moreso than last year i always thought this year was going to be the most interesting cubs season for them and their fanbase in, well, 108 years? now you're unequivocally THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL and given that your farm system is still loaded and the core of your team is pretty much ALL going to improve over the years, the future's so bright you gotta wear shades and all..... however, at the core of every cubs fan is this glaring inferority complex where like, you still wanna subconsciously cling to the "lovable losers" thing that [purportedly] made you unique and interesting and thus "special snowflakes" for so long..... but now you're not, now you're not david with a slingshot firing jason heyward motivational speeches at a Goliath who is quite possibly God Himself.... no, now *YOU'RE* goliath and all of a sudden there's a whole lotta davids loading up and taking aim, so of course, you wanna go out of your way to laugh at david cuz aint nobody ever created a slingshot (or rock for that matter) that can take out this here cubbie Goliath... yet it's way too easy to forget that you were david all the way up until november 2016, you know what i'm saying?

that changeover from david to goliath = why this is gonna be an interesting season no matter what...

BUY HEY CUBS FANS, DON'T WORRY! YOUR LEADER DAN BERNSTEIN HAS ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT THE CUBS AREN'T WINNING THE WORLD SERIES THIS YEAR, SO ONLY A FOOL WOULD EXPECT THEM TO DO THAT! JUST CHILL AND REPEAT AFTER ME: #FiveChampionshipsInTheNextEightYears!!!

Soak it in, boys. When you're the defending champs, there's a lot of jealousy. It's a compliment that they all get Cub updates on their blackberries.

Not to be lost because of the bullpen blowup was the Cubs up 1-0 , runners on 2nd and 3rd no out in which Baez went first pitch ground ball to 3rd , then Bryant with 1 out bags juiced also ground ball to 3rd fielders choice also first pitch I believe . Could've blown the game open right there. He just sucks with the bags juiced .
