Hell, I don't have any faith with them. I bought a Cubs hat yesterday. The Reds game does not start for another 40 minutes, but they already trail 5-0.

Leathernecks Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 If you guys get a chance to watch the Braves play, I'd recommend it. Tons of young talent. Ozzie Albies might be the most exciting player in the game so far this year, and he's also one of the youngest players at only 21 years old (maybe even the youngest?). He's currently 20-63 with 15 runs, 5 home runs, 11 RBIs and 8 doubles. Super exciting player to watch on offense and on defense. They also have Ronald Acuna coming up soon who is the #1 overall prospect in baseball right now. I've hated watching them beat up on the Cubs, but they sure are a fun team to watch.

Seeking6 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 The Reds are Exhibit A if you don't draft well and develop your farm system...bottom of the division/league is what you get. We see it in all sports. Besides the winning, titles,etc...the Cubs have enjoyed the last 3 seasons the one thing I really am happy about is our farm system won't ever be neglected again. On a side note...I'll keep saying what Rizzo said. Cubs should start every year in Miami or Dome or warmer climates for 9 games. Come home for 3 game series to get Opener festivities out of the way and head west to for another 10 game road trip. No way baseball should be played in that weather yesterday...and contrary to what someone mentioned in RL thread....one of several reasons Chicago leads major cities in population lost is weather like yesterday. Wind chills of 20's in Mid-April with no warm temps in sight. I have tickets for Tuesday night game vs Cards. Doesn't even seem fun anymore.
