>>66598938
Be careful...certain people may have an autism attack if they see a pretty girl posted on this board
>>66598913
but your line up has like 5 pitcher tier hitters
Are we watching on ESPN or FSW lads?
OPTIMISTIC
>Let's fucking go baby
Johnny Baseball is ready
>>66599010
who the fuck watches baseball on ESPN but betas and cucks
Ragsfag here
How does it feel loss Angeles Angcucks to know you're already behind?
>>66598938

>>66598928

It's our year

>>66599056

i hope the new jannys live curry
>>66599033
I dunno, sometimes it's nice to get a different perspective on your team in the announcing booth
mfw the cubes win the eries
>>66599036
Thanks for playing with a 24 man roster and getting that cancer off our team
>I don't think the Cubs will win the World Series
>>66598923
It's going to be a historic moment when they win eh?
>>66599256
1908, you stupid cacuck
got chills from that angels intro
I, Fuck Man Soler, officially Christen the start of the 2016 Chicago Cubs baseball season.
Let's start this, gentlemen.
We're ready.
I've missed Len and Kerry Wood's seat warmer. Fuck yes baseball
Why did I have to listen to a stupid fucking hip hop hyped up intro to this baseball game. Just show the game, it should be on during the daytime anyway.
Man, I hope this disappoint like post mania Raw is right now.
>>66599276
>not knowing about the 1906 Cubs, one of the best teams in history
The bandwagon has begun
Trout should have been MVP at least one more time out of the last 4 years.
>muh triplecrown
>muh manbun meme offense
>>66599320
ESPN?
i was watching fox sports west and got a awesome intro that gave me goosebumps
>angels baseball
>>66599358
He should have been MVP all four years, but the BBWAA hates him for some reason. Trout gave them the perfect opportunity to erase Bonds' MVP record too, so idk why they don't vote for him
>>66599320
If you're in Chicago, turn on ABC for the Cubs broadcast, I bet the Angels have a local broadcast, too. Fuck ESPN
>>66599384
>236x257
Beat the Angel's Cubs! The Mariners need all of the help they can get.
Sure are a lot of Cubs fans in Anaheim...
Aaaaaand the year starts with a leadoff double. I like it.
bonus to get Fowler back at the top of the lineup
tho Soler will ride alot of bench
watching on mlb tv
is this shit 60 fps or something
>>66599388
Calm down bro. Gotta watch my Cubbies
>>66599353
Yes, but our maple-slurping friend was trying to reference the Cubs' last WS win. No bandwagon here, m8
LOOK AT DA FLICK OF DA WRIST
Let's go J-Hey!
ESPN's camera work sucks. Bout to switch to FSW
>>66599366
Yeah, ESPN. When the Cubbies win I'll put out the W flag for the first time. Bought it when I noticed a Cards fan two doors down.
>>66599391
ESPN is my only non shitty option unless one of you set me up with a VLC link. I'm a grill btw
I'm in the St. Louis area, is ESPN2 my only option?
>no aybar in the lineup

Under what pretext?
>nice swing Kristy
isn't that nigga supposed to get on base for trout
is navafag gonna be following the angels this year?
Trout's gonna strike out, what a shit overrated player, literally anyone on the Cubs is better than him
>>66599724
soler is worse defensively somehow
>>66599724
he always plays there?
stupid Escobar. as a leadoff man, you are supposed to work the count
>Cubs early favourites to win it all
Explain
1-2-3 for Jake the Snake
No offense today boys
>Trout is the big fish in this small pond.
Haha, this commentary.
>>66599745
half right I guess
good job setting the table for trout
>>66599760
remember all those MUH PROSPECTS from a few seasons ago
>>66599748
No solers better defensively its just the cubs need shwarbs bat in the line up.
i guess giavotella is going to need to win this one on his own
>>66599779
>solers better defensively
no
>>66599779
Soler would have been starting rightfielder - but then Fowler's free agent search landed back at the cubes
>>66599760
Young team of players and plenty of money to throw around at huge contracts. They picked up some of missing pieces in the off season but the bull pen is still weakish. But that don't matter because the Cubs can score a million.
>>66599760
>be bad for 100 years
>accrue a ton of draft picks and prospects
>be a giant market team with a lot of money to spend
>have a really good team
>make a shitton of great trades and signings in the offseason to make the good team great
>>66599724
>>66599748
>>66599779
Some of you are kinda right, kinda wrong.
Soler is a malnourished Cuban with not-so-good legs who doesn't play well in the cold. They'll probably keep him off the field early in Chicago.
>>66599804
I thought you were a Sox fan? Or was that your 'southside gf'?
>>66599779
Considering they have a DH since it's an AL ballpark, you are wrong
>>66599804
best part was that during the entire teardown & rebuild era the cubs only lost 10 more games than the sux
we are still gonna strikeout a fuckton
stream plz
>>66599804
Based Theo
>>66599828
fair, however NL games shwarbs will still play. his bat is priceless
>>66599827
Girlfriend was a filthy Cardinals fan. I banished her back to the hellhole of St. Louis recently. Diehard Cubs fan born and raised.
>>66599868
You don't post in the generals, m8?

>>66599868
Must have been that Fighting Bolligs dudebro
WS preview you heard it here first
>>66599882
Only hockey, and even then not so much this year. Any time I was ever in a Cubs thread I typically dropped the trip but forgot to today.
>>66599906
Could be. Most of those guys are filthy Sox fans anyway.
>>66599903
>not taking part in the banter with your niggas
>not surviving the offseason with your niggas
Smdh.
goddamn the cubs love to strikeout a ton huh

You can at least try and swing Simmons

I was just curious to see what popped. Calm your tits friend.

I don't really have any good clubhouse stories, partly because the Angels' clubhouse is quite dull and partly because I'm not around the clubhouse more than a couple times a homestand. So I'm going to reprint the greatest clubhouse story ever, from Matt McCarthy's book "Odd Man Out," about his year with the Angels' short-season team. (The book may or may not be true, for what it's worth.)
"An Angels employee briefly interrupted the revelry to bring us fifth leftover hot dogs from the concession stand's Weenie Wednesday promotion.
"I took my hot dog over to my locker and began to undress. That was when things got interesting. When I turned around, I saw the dark, naked bodies of two young Dominicans hovering around the hot dogs. Erick Aybar and Alberto Callaspo ... were inseparable and spoke no English -- the most one of them had ever said to me was "Why-ya-ya-ya-ya-yeah!" after I'd pitched a scoreless inning the week before.
"Gradually, more of my teammates turned to watch as Aybar's and Callaspo's naked bodies circled the food. We all knew they were up to something no good. Two naked heterosexual teenagers don't stand that close together for that long next to a box of hot dogs without something happening.
"Suddenly, Callaspo took one of the hot dogs out of its bun and deep-throated it. Then he took the bun and put it around Aybar's flaccid (etc etc) and poured ketchup on it. Jaws dropped -- Aybar was a willing participant. Then Callaspo bent over and pretended to eat the Dominican (etc etc etc) hot dog. When he did that, we all screamed, "Nooooo!"
"Getting the reaction he'd desired, Callaspo turned to a few of us and said, "I no gay. You gay" and burst into a fit of laughter. Callaspo slapped Aybar on the ass and the two laughed all the way to the shower."

If that were the case nobody would go to any Cubs games. That's a retarded argument.

I've got 2 friends that flew out there for the game independent of each other. Chicago is fucking hyped for the Cubs right now
Richards pls
Is he trying to hit a nigga?

You're always a Chicagoan.
The city has a character like New York. When you grow up in Chicago you don't just leave and stop being a Chicagoan.

>>66600724
Dont see a reason to follow a team that cant win. Speaking as basic as possible here for you Chicagoans your team historically isnt good. In fact its one of the worst in baseball history and I dont see a reason why anyone would follow them. You have zero culture, zero moments in the sun and most importantly zero rings since the live ball era. The only reason any of you are watching right now is because you might actually finally win something.
Who /1:00 AM rebroadcast/ here?
that's like hour after the game should end
I thought Simmons was supposed to be good
>best shortstop in baseball
>>66600787
There are so many good ol' Georgia boys around here you have no idea. Their accents and oversized cars are hilarious.

Everywhere has character and influences a person's personalty but some are just really shit. East St Louis has a lot of character but it usually involves bullets and crack. I bet if you took a fucko out of that shit hole they'd still be found of drive bys and crack.

Not in this ballpark, specially at night. They'd have to pound the fuck out of the baseball. It's possible, but it'd be hard.

Sure, the Cubs don't have a good history. This is how I put it to my Cardinal friends: the dog's you see in a dog show are objectively better than my dog - better genetics, training, grooming etc. But I still like my dog despite this, because it's my dog. She gets excited to see me when I get home and I've had her for ages. The Cubs are my team, mediocre history and all
>>66600991
he's DADDY AS FUCK don't matter if he's good or not.
>>66601020
I still have a Nomar shirt-sy that someone gave me as a gift. I wear it under my Cubs jersey every time I go to the game.
>>66601058
But the A's and Mariners exist
>>66601020
Had his jersey as a kid.

At night the wind dies down and the air settles, heavier with humidity. The ball just doesn't jump like it does during the day. The field is on the bigger end of average compared to other fields.
>>66601117
There is character there. The locals would know of it. Shitty character or unremarkable but everywhere has something distinct about it's culture.
I grew up in the shittest most remote place you can imagine but even it was bursting with shitty character that a tourist could never see.
looks like its another buttercup season again
This pitching is still absolute dog shit and nothing was done to even try to improve it over the off season
The batting will continue to be lackluster and only Trout will produce anything
Losing Aybar was a fucking mistake he was a centerpiece to the infield
Fuck you scioscia why you do this
>>66601105
He won't be when Skaggs is back
>>66601084
The A's and M's will have a better record than the angels of anaheim angels

That's my Lee jersey. I still bust it out sometimes, but I got an authentic Maddux jersey for Christmas a couple years ago so that one gets the most play.
>>66601223

alright, that's fair

He was probably the best all around of the big three shortstops from 97-00.

trout is aware he doesnt have to swing at every ball right?
>>66601275
I wish I could've afforded more jerseys, but poor Mexifag here. A-Ram was my favorite player. Obviously, I loved MVLee. And Mad Dog was great. I'll never forget his incredible start to 2005.
>or was it 2006?

>dat clutch infielding
Fuck this defense
>>66601703
Gross. I hated that deal the second it was signed.
>>66601609
I just had the one Lee jersey for the longest time, I didn't have a lot either. I wanted a Prior so badly, but gladly that never really happened. I was so close to buying one after I got to go to the playoff game of Prior vs Maddux in 2003? I think, but that shit is expensive.
>elite shortstop

>the deflated bouncy castle of unc

>>66601817
Fuck you. Do me.
>>66601835
Everyone's got a Prior jersey. It makes more sense to get a Wood jersey. Based Kid K.

>this quiet thread

>>66602063
If you're paying a guy 18 million a year, you hope he produces a lot. He was always a liability with that retarded hop in the outfield and the streakiest player at the plate. I hated that guy, so I might be biased, but fuck him and that contract.
>>66602192

>>66602214
Shut up tripfag
>>66602254

>>66602350
damn I haven't listened to bjm in a while
Do we really need to replay Tuffy Rhodes EVERY Opening Day?
>>66602392
Have you seen how the Cubs normally handle opening day? 1994 was the last time they did anything cool.
Kurkijan bringing up palindromes? Opening day stories with the guys that don't normally call games is great.
>>66602374
Scioscia is a hack who uses the fluke success of 2002 to trick angels management and the league as a whole into thinking he's good
>>66602428
there is a small part of me that misses the familiarity of Big Z shitting the bed every opening day
newfag here, do you guys believe in the cubs curse?
>>66602482
If by curse you mean shitty management, yes
>>66602469
How about this classic Cubs opening day lineup in 2012:
DeJesus, RF
Barney, 2B
Castro, SS
Soriano, LF
Stewart, 3B
Baker, 1B
Byrd, CF
Soto, C
Dempster, P
>>66602482
It was broken when Epstein sacrificed a goat at the Temple of Jerusalem
>>66602482
Yeah they were cursed by poor management and shitty ownership for over a 100 years.
Who /blankjersey/ here?
I can't decide between the home or the blue alternate.
>>66602469
He's just like Soler and couldn't handle the cold. I don't know why they threw him out in Chicago April / March right off the heels of Arizona every fucking year
>>66602482
it (or more accurately, the media) adds a bit more of a burden every time the Cubs get to the postseason but they're certainly nothing supernatural about it
>>66602482
Goat's cheese is too delicious for any curse to exist
>>66602524
I've got the blue alternate with a blank back, I'm a fan of the blue color and the cub bear
>>66602515
>that top kek when remembering how fast Stewart was dropped after bitching on social media
>>66602482
the Cu(ck)bs are not cursed they're just tied to humiliation and desperation, you bundle those two things with their ridiculous faggot fanbase + three player memes and you have 'curse culture'
>>66602524
depends where you're going to see more games at
>that check swing
>every Soler swing
I think he needs a heavier bat
>>66602515
What about this was classic?
>tfw your home opener will be played in subzero temperature
>>66602524
blue alternate desu, and see if you can find a clearance Castro jersey and then tear off the letters and numbers yourself
>>66602534
yeah nah, even when we opened in Houston or Atlanta he was bad
>Heyward homering in his first AB off Big Z
>>66602617
I believe that was sarcasm.
>>66602524
I have a blue batting jersey that's blank that I love. It's not like anything they wear on the field, though. It's dark blue and I can't even find a google picture of anything similar.
I'd definitely go with the all blue.
