MLB 2015

Well here it is, opening day of the 2015 MLB season and my cubbies have already lost their home opener to the dreaded Cardinals ....

Let me avoid the rush and say .... Next year will be our year.

I'm right there with you SDiver. The Phillies are likely to break 100 games this year (losses that is).

I have a decent collection of baseball cards from the late 80's through 90's. Many Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Andre Dawson and a host of other Cubs, even Maddux before they sent him to Atlanta. I wouldn't call myself a Cubs fan, but I followed them. Lots of good memories of Harry Caray calling the games, too.

Maybe y'all will end the drought.

I would love to say my Royals will win it all, but, they sort of got lucky last year. Also, if San francisco has the same pitching rotation, I'm not sure who can beat them.

I wonder if Steve Bartman's great-grandfather was there. Probably not since the Cubs won.

I must say, the "W" flag has been flying an awfully lot lately, up on the Northside.
