[Thunder]

I will miss this one, as well as every other game this week as I look forward to 4:45-5 AM wake up calls the rest of the week. But it's all good, I'm going to Wrigley next weekend!

 

Keep on doing y'all's thang

Enjoy your time at Wrigley.

 

I saw my first MLB game at Wrigley as part of a school trip back in 1967. (I lived in Milwaukee, then.)

Again with the five lefty bats--fine with me. Also with lefty Hill.

Enjoy your time at Wrigley.

Thanks! I am so incredibly excited. My co-workers have told me all about how refreshing and impactful it can be to travel alone, and I thought this was a perfect time to try it out for myself. I have had my eye on this series since the schedule came out last September. Got a great deal on flights, so I splurged a bit on tickets. On Saturday night, I will be a few rows underneath the overhang directly behind home plate, and on Sunday afternoon, I will be in the first row in the RF corner. I plan on doing the full walk around to see all the monuments, plaques, etc.. I have also (somehow) never been to Chicago in general, so I will try to do some sightseeing, and try some deep dish pizza, but the ballgames and CPA exam studying will be the priority.

 

I am also much more optimistic about the Red Sox team I will see on the field than I was when I booked this trip in late April.

Wrigley is a lot like Fenway. History. Old Time baseball feeling.

 

I can't imagine you not loving the experience.

Although it would be much easier to predict a HR by Devers tonight, I'm gonna go with Cordero. Don't let me down, Franchy.

I should pick a lefty, but I'm opening up a Story Book.

[dgalehouse]

This is like taking candy from the proverbial baby.

Aagh...don't say things like that.

[Thunder]

Aagh...don't say things like that.

 

The host of my favorite morning radio show in Boston (not a sports show) said something similar one day in March when the Celtics were playing the last place Pistons. When they proceeded to lose that night, he took s*** all over social media for about a week. Jinxing is real you guys

[d-money]

Not a good start by rich hill.

[d-money]

Well hope hill can settle down.

[d-money]

Gotta throw strikes man.

[moonslav59]

When will Xander start bogarting this joint?

[d-money]

Nice. Runs plz!!!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Raffy's slow procedure of getting up after a pick-off attempt reminded me of Jim Brown. Every time Brown was tackled he'd get up very slowly as if he was injured. There was no need for Brown to rush to the huddle because he knew the ball would be handed off to him again.

[d-money]

This offense has to hit.

[d-money]

Should be out of this inning already.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As far as approach at the plate Devers and Baez are mirror images of each other.

[d-money]

Christ they’re making this pitcher look like cy young.

[d-money]

Hill has been very hittable tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, two pitchers on the Astros each threw an immaculate inning in the same game against the Rangers on 6/15/22. Ist time it's ever been done.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Christ they’re making this pitcher look like cy young.

 

Well the SOX have Cy Old on the mound.

[Old Red]

Story Land for T H R E E!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

NostraMOONus predicted it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Millar is exactly right. What JBJ does defensively cannot be taught.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Miggy is definitely not ovah the Hill.

[moonslav59]

NostraMOONus predicted it.

 

A Story Book ending!

[d-money]

Lousy job by hill here.
