MLB: ***Official 2018 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

[chuckd4735]

Can't believe no one else started this thing. Hopefully we did enough this off season to get the Cubs to the series again.

I'll try and get my predictions for the season up before first pitch; what does everyone else see as far as Division winners and playoff matchups?

World Series or bust baby. Go Cubs Go!

I didn't even realize it was opening day until I heard it on the drive in to work.

Looks like I have something to keep me busy from work starting at 11:40 .

It's also National Smack a Cubs fan upside the head day. All y'all mofos better watch out.

Seriously though, good luck on the season. Hope you finish last where you belong.

GO CUBS GO

I'd like to predict that barring multiple key injuries the Cubs will win 99 games this year. Division will be locked by the second weekend in August.

Brewers fall to .500 this year
Reds are terrible and in full rebuild. However, as always Votto will overperform and refuse to be traded.
Pirates are in full tank mode
The Cards are a mystery to me... I really have no idea what kind of season they will have. Too many ?'s at pitching for me to be confident but I'll say 7 games over .500 (rough first half, better second half)

Ah yes, the time honored tradition of trying to figure out if I'm going to be able to watch the Cubs game on TV is back.

Go Cubs Go.

Has anyone found a good way to stream the radio broadcast? I checked out MLB.TV but that is a steep price when visual on all the games are blacked out.

Try downloading TuneIn Radio app on your phone. I use that to listen to Cyclone games on the radio. There is a Cubs channel that has the game listed for today.
