At the original University of Phoenix where they had a real Phoenix as their mascot.

Well, it's confirmed. Arrieta and Lester will pitch for the Cubs against the Angels to open the season.

From Patrick Mooney on twitter:

Arrieta threw only 34 pitches last week — and got one out and gave up five runs to the San Francisco Giants — but he believes his arm strength is built up to the point where he will be ready for April 4 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

Maddon also confirmed Jon Lester will start Game 2 against the Angels.

Probably not going. Never been real keen on the price hike for opening day, but thats just me. Id rather watch it from a bar and go the next day for normal ticket prices.

You must be pumped.

I love all the Opening Day hoopla myself.  Although I am wondering if the flyover will be a drone this year.

The fly over will be one of the seagulls that are usually on Arte's yacht.

[Biergott]

I will be there as usual for Opening Day, can't wait!

[Vladfan]

Yes. Me and the family will be there. Can't wait.

So what youre saying is; if my nieghbor puts his rally towel on his head, move quickly? Thanks for the heads up, BM.

I'll be there protesting the 6pm Monday opener, the yellow sign people, the team store, extensive dumpster diving by billionaires, and sacrifice bunts.

[Adam]

I'll be there. Got raped for shitty seats. Like $100 for 3 Upper View tickets

I'll only be attending games where someone gives me a ticket(s). Looking at all the holes on this team I figure to have 30-40 opportunities to go. The more free tickets I accept the more likely I am to get more free tickets. Might even cancel my cable plan and opt for radio broadcast.

That's the spirit. I get that it takes all types for a message board to be appealing, but I don't get it. If you are passionate enough to spend a ton of time on a message board for your team, then to me it only makes sense to want to see that team play, whether it is live in person or on TV, despite the teams flaws. I don't want that to come accross like a SuperFan on this one, but it is more the mindset of wasting time on here if you aren't going to view the product we talk about.

Looks like I may have to send my nephews in my place due to work.

They are both really looking forward to Flag duty, Claude!

[Blarg]

Age requirements for flag duty. Don't want to trip over fallen 8 year Olds.

Cancel your Internet service as well.

It will be nice to see Joe Maddon again. He's a great coach.

True, he had a great mentor.
