The Official Opening Day Gameday Thread: Cubs vs. Angels (4/4/2016)

[Stradling]

That explains why they both work there.

[tomsred]

They don't hate you Stradling, they just got fed up with In N Out 7 days a week.

 

That's why they agree to go, "please Dad, can I have a hot dog tonight?"

That Cubs lineup is straight out of a video game. 

[Troll Daddy]

So far so good nobody has yet complained about the lineup.

[Oz27]

That Cubs lineup is straight out of a video game.

It's crazy how good that lineup looks.

[Angel Oracle]

Even Russell hit 6 ST HRs.

[Angelsfirst]

It's funny how excited I still get considering how long and seemingly unproductive this offseason was. Go Angels

[KevinJ14]

I think you'll be surprised.

[KevinJ14]

hopefully there aren't too many Cubs fans at the stadium....

I think you'll be surprised.

[Blarg]

That explains why they both work there.

 

It's like Mr Wicked, they couldn't get a gig at Subway because they lacked sammich making skilz.

[Blarg]

It's crazy how good that lineup looks.

 

That lineup lost to the Angels B team last night.

[FabulousFabregas]

Fire Scioscia.

 

I'M FIRST!

[Bobster7587]

Interesting choice to hit Zobrist third, but I guess you could put that lineup in any order and it would still work.

[Oz27]

That lineup lost to the Angels B team last night.

lol yes, they suck because they lost one exhibition game. Excellent point, as usual.

[katrinab]

I will be there tonight can't wait!! I love opening day

[Chuck]

I will be there tonight can't wait!! I love opening day

 

It's the one regular season game before September that feels like a playoff game.

[eligrba4ever]

Go Halos!!

 

Wish I was there and not here, although the southern Cascades aren't bad most of the time.

[Angels#1Fan]

Go Halos!

 

The games count starting tonight.

[Blarg]

lol yes, they suck because they lost one exhibition game. Excellent point, as usual.

I'm sure Maddon played his entire starting lineup because he didn't give a ****. I'm sure no one on the Cubs roster did as well.

[Diaz15]

TONS of Cubs fans here. It might be 50/50

[RuledByNone]

The latest Mota-ism:

"The one name that he brought up was Pedro Martinez and Jered Weaver"

[WallyWorld]

I'm sure Maddon played his entire starting lineup because he didn't give a ****. I'm sure no one on the Cubs roster did as well.

 

a) his starting lineup didn't play the entire game

the Angels' minor leaguers came back against the Cubs' minor league pitchers

c) it's a bunch of 20-something guys playing a game that doesn't count - wouldn't put too much stock in it

d) Jake Arrietta is pitching tonight

e) you need to give up on this silly line of thinking about ST games, you're better than this

[Broad Street]

How's the atmosphere at the ballpark?

[Oz27]

I'm quite excited to see how Richards fares tonight against a really strong lineup. He is one guy I see having a very strong year and he can certainly get things going in the right direction if he can limit the damage the Cubs can do offensively.
