A couple great ballgames today! Absolutely stoked for tomorrow!

Really interested in watching the development of the White Sox, and on the Mariner train this year.

If someone wanted to bet Cubs vs the field, what odds do you guys think would be fair? Have a buddy that's convinced they are repeating & wants some action on it...

You mean, what are their World Series odds? The OP says 9/2.

I'm curious what fair odds would be on them missing the postseason.

Stadium has awesome views all around, either downtown or Elliot bay + mountains. Hopefully you get a clear day

Cards extend Piscotty. Pay $5m more in arb years for 1 cheap FA year and option for a second.

As usual, MLB Extra Innings is free on cable for a week. And as usual, most of the games aren't in HD. That's just inexcusable in 2017.

Nevermind I totally get what you are saying lol that's the point of futures. You get one and the house gets the rest. 9/2 seems pretty low no?

what cable do you have? I have Optimum and there are 9 extra inning HD channels. So with the scheduling, close to every single game is available on the package in HD

2012: wasn't in majors
2013: 2 HRs
2014: 0 HRs
2015: 1 HR
2016: 1 HR
2017: 1 HR so far

So he is averaging 1 HR per opening day game in his career

Absolutely unreal. I got League Pass this year and almost never watch it. I'm supposed to watch a Pistons - Hawks game in standard definition? Lol GFY
