Original thread title:The Cubs are winning

No...this is not an April Fools joke. :lol:

They're playing the Pirates who are going to have a losing streak that will be of legal drinking age at the end of the season. Don't get to excited :lol:

I'm not excited. I'm just worried that I'm in an alternate universe, as the Astros beat the Rangers last night too. :shock:

Speaking of losers winning....the Mets won BIG. 11-2 over SD.

Missed it. I'm just waitin' for the Jays game 'cause Geddy Lee's throwin' out the first pitch. YES, I'M OBSESSED. :lol:

Astros/Rangers on tomorrow night too. Got somethin' to watch/

Hell yes! The one time of the year the Cubs have a 50/50 chance of being undefeated. It would be awesome if the Cubs pulled off a miracle this year.

BTW, my wife and I went to the exhibition game on Saturday between the Cubs & Astros and Minute Maid Park was empty. I bet there weren't 5000 people there. It was awesome, no lines for food or the bathroom.

According to Back To The Future 2, the Cubbies still have 2 more years to go. :lol:

It WOULD be ironic if that movie ended up predicting the future. :shock:

The Miami Marlins would have to move to the AL first. The Cubs can't just win. But they also have to beat the right team. :p

Thanks for catching that. I haven't seen that movie in years, and I forgot who they played. lol

Orioles started off strong today.

by **Liam** » Wed Apr 03, 2013 11:46 am

That 3 run homer was great.

by **KenTheDude** » Wed Apr 03, 2013 12:59 pm

The Rangers had a perfect game going against the Astros with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th and the Astros got a hit!! :shock:

Yu Darvish was the pitcher for the Rangers and they just pulled him. So close!!

by **Liam** » Wed Apr 03, 2013 1:18 pm

GO 'STROS...with not ONE fucking run.

by **Liam** » Thu Apr 04, 2013 3:17 am

Astros/Rangers again in about an hour. Let's see how far below .500 we can get in the first week. LOL

From the Blue Jays/Indians game last night:

So this is what it's like to lose. I'm not used to this, being an Astros fan. :lol:

by **Liam** » Thu Apr 04, 2013 10:02 am

I don't think this needs any specific thread. lol

As a Red Sox fan, it was good to see Lackey throwing well for once but then...BOOM! As much as he represented everything wrong with the Red Sox the year before last, I still hate to see that happen to a guy.

They are well on their way. :lol:

ASTROS ARE 2-6, BABY. We're flyin' high now. :lol:

Anyone else see the brawl in the Dodgers/Padres game last night? Matt Kemp gets a fastball just over his noggin and later Carlos Quentin gets hit in the upper arm by Zach Greinke. Quentin charges the mound, Greinke turns slightly to the sight to give Quenting a shoulder and ends up with a broken collarbone and at least two months on the DL.

This is usually one of those situations when the opposing player who is retaliated against, unless they try to hit him in the head which Greinke didn't, should just take it like a man and take his base. Instead, he charges the mound and puts the opposing team's pitcher out for at least two months.

Yup....posted it on my FB page earlier....Nowhere NEAR as good as the Ryan/Ventura one from years ago. Then again...I don't think anything will beat that. :lol:

That was awesome...My favorite all-time pitcher landing a couple of fists to Ventura's noggin. :lol:
