Great way to start the season!

The guy who sign with the team late was 3-4. He was our offensive spark. Atta Boy Dex.


Matt even came off the bench and had 3 RBI.

Lets go for the sweep today boys

Last nights game was a great way to start the season off. Missed the first 5 innings on TV but the MLB radio had me covered at work. Only 8 days til I'll be at my first home game of the season!

Hey my Cubs NT Fam.

Me and the Wife are coming down for the Jackie Robinson tribute game next weekend as she is from Chi town and really wants to go.

I have never been to Wrigley. Any tips on seats that are good (bang for buck wise) , or to stay away from?

Thanks in advanced.

Make sure you arent obstructed..thats the first key. Personally, bleachers are always the way to go, but theyll be pricey. Upper deck 3rd bas side near left field is cool too. Try to get past the roof though so that youre sitting in the sun. Huge temp difference.

U trying to go saturday or sunday?

Do the new bleachers now have seats marked and space for everyone that got a ticket?

StubHub, you'll thank me. Plenty of tickets on there (bleacher seats for under $30 a pop). Bleachers is where I'm always at, it's my favorite spot in the entire stadium. The environment is so alive there. I got so used to it, back when they used to give me free bleacher tickets back in like 2012-2014.

Also, can't go wrong with sitting close to the infield first level. I usually wait til the day of the game & buy tickets a couple hours before the game begins. Ticket prices plummet at that time.

I question his passion. Sure you can become a fan of any team, but i hate bandwagoners.

W. 2-0.

 

[arstyle27]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

 

[sportsjunkie]

Matt got things popping with the HR. btw MLB extra innings is free for the week. Take advantage of the free trail against the Diamondbacks. 3 outta 4. Sweep would be nice though.
