[REDACTED.]

This [redacted] sucks. Schwarber blew out both his ACL and MCL on this collision last night. Out for the year.



There is no substitute for depth. [redacted, really, redacted] Kyle's going to be a rehab warrior, no doubt, but [redacted].

The only dark spot on a stunning opening for the baby bears.
 
Saving all those runs up for today. It's an old Cubbie bear ploy. Baseball's a funny game.

In addition, it will make you laugh now and then.

The best thing about being a Padres fan is that wins are so rare it feels like a huge cause for celebration when we actually do.

Of course, the worst thing is being perennially crap.
 
Ben Zobrist makes my team better. Starlin Castro makes the Yankees better.

Each team needed what each guy brings. The thing I have enjoyed most so far this year has been the zen-like plate discipline we've been getting from almost the entire squad. As a hard-swinging team, the Cubs will strike out a lot. The mitigating factor has been the numbers of walks they have been milking out of everybody, and Zobrist has been the key. With one exception (love ya Jorge, but stop swinging at that low outside sinker, please?) nobody is bailing out pitchers mistakes. Batter after batter is getting deep into the count, guys are walking and then scoring (walked a run in tonight) and the Arizona pitching staff is ready for some therapy.

(post game pitching staff meeting in week one? gracious.)

Greinke got exploited again tonight early. One more tomorrow in Phoenix, then back for opening night Monday at the still under-construction Wrigley.

Hope it thaws by then. Find your mukluks. Arrieta up tomorrow.
