Drive 4 hours east. Opening day in Cincinnati isn’t a spectacle, it’s an all day event and is basically a holiday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marge’s dogs were almost that big. Too bad one of them didn’t nip her in the jugular about 10 years before the old bat finally bit the big one.

Clydesales and all the former players coming back is beyond special. Can’t think of another team that does it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball-wise, everyone was either a Cubs fan or a Cards fan. Decided I’d pick a team that would annoy them both and wound up picking a team that offers nothing but perpetual misery. Hockey-wise, my dad was originally from Chicago and was a Hawks fan. Apply previous logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 (edited) Cubs 5 game winning streak is over. Dodgers beat Cubs 4-1 today. Cubs wasted golden opportunity in the first with bases loaded nobody out and didn't score. Hopefully Cubbies win the rubber game tomorrow.

IUFLA Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Michael Busch, who was the PCL PoY last year in the Dodgers farm system, bites the hand that once fed him...3 run double in the 1st... 3-0 Cubs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Reds are struggling with another LH starter pitcher. This has been a problem for the last couple of years. Instead of having Benson, Farley and Martini we have Fairchild, Bubba Thompson and Espinal in the lineup. Feel bad for Reds reliever Tejay Antone who missed most of the last two years with an arm injury just had to leave the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Yankees take 2 of 3 from the Blue Jays and are now 8-2. If you would have told me the Bronx Bombers would have swept the the Arse-Stroles in 4 games (at Minute Maid Stadium), then go to Arizona, a WS team, and take 2 of 3 games, I would have thought you were crazy!! In today's game Stanton belts a grand "Stantonian" slam!!! I know it's early, but this old man is enjoying it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Back to back walkoffs and the Buccos are 8-2, good for tied for first in the league, and take the series over the Orioles. Wasn’t pretty today offensively, but we found a way. Good to see us keep it going against a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
