Going to Opening Day

[catman]

My wife and I will be going to opening day today in Des Moines to see the ICubs play the Round Rock Express. Hopefully, we'll see a good game. Its a bit windy, and the wind will be blowing in from right. Could be interesting for fielders on high pop-ups.
By the way, could we get the minor league icon?

Should be a good time. Let me know how Rizzo and Jackson look.

Randy Wells is pitching, too. Against a guy, seriously named Hamburger. He needs a COC so he can be the greatest name in the history of sports. EDIT: Or, he's already had one, and I'm an idiot. Either one.

Anyway, have a good time!

Rizzo and Jackson looked pretty good. Rizzo can play defense well. Jackson is as good as advertised. He should be in Chicago very soon and Matt Szczur (pronounced like caesar) should take his place there. Wellington Castillo is solid behind the plate and Vitters isn't out of the running for a spot in Chicago yet.

And, by the way, Mark Hamburger was drafted by the Twins and traded to the Rangers for Eddie Guardado a few years ago. He is very hittable, but throws strikes.

It sucks 10 years ago you could tailgate at dodger stadium with beer and alcholol. but now its no restricted that you cant even smoke a cig in their parking lot!
