I'll be there on Saturday and if it's not too cold inside (do they heat it at all? Or just close the roof?) again on Sunday. If it's freezing cold, back home after breakfast and watch the Masters and give my Sunday tickets to someone at Comedy Sports Saturday night. I like their chances most on Saturday and logically expect a split and hope for 3 of 4.

I don't think you know what logic means...

You could have just stopped at "I don't think"

They are 2 of the better teams in the National League and the Brewers are at home, even if the Cubs fans such as myself will be there in force. Expecting a sweep would be unrealistic and in a four game series in the other team's park, a split makes sense.

If you flipped a coin 4 times, logic would dictate that you would get a 2-2 split between heads and tails.

The Cubs are running out their top 4 starers against the Brewers. If you don't think the Cubs are better than even against the Brewers in this setting with these pitchers going, you should probably start posting in that "when is it time to panic" thread.

No reason to panic over splitting a 4 game series on the road against a contender. Again, I hope for better, but if I was betting, I would bet on a split. I hope they exceed my expectations.

FFS Happ. Way to start the game with ANOTHER strikeout. Get him out of the leadoff spot. He clearly can't handle it in a game that means something.

I was there once ... 2nd to last game in 2016 or 2015 I think (against the Cubs, of course) ... I'm fairly sure there's no heat, or if there is, it's rather minimal ... take cold weather clothing and hope you don't need it.

edit: 2015 it is ... apparently it was 54 and rainy (I recall the latter) ... it still felt cold at that temp ... Saturday up there is 39 and sunny, so layer up

Inneresting that the great offseason pickup couldn't pick up the damned ball.

Len saying, "so tight down there" is probably not a cookie Tannehill can use. :lol:

If anyone is wondering, yes, the .gif is ready and waiting.

Where Happ, to me, comes across as a hard working, grinder, Almora's skillset appears to come much more naturally.
