Looks like Adam Wainwright is out for the year with Tommy John surgery.

Cubs and Brewers fans rejoice!

I never rejoice over an injury.

Agreed. Bad karma. Injuries happen to everyone, so don't send things going around hoping they don't come around.

Fine. I will consider this karma for the Cardinals after all the Cubs pitcher injuries.

Those Cubs pitcher injuries were only due to karma if karma is named Dusty Baker.

Did anyone tell Greinke the season is starting already?

And thank God Randy Wolf gets paid so much. Makes it much more likely he'll still be on the roster by the time they get to his bobblehead day.

Best-case scenario for the Cubs this year is to have the Bulls and Blackhawks make deep playoff runs to distract Chicago sports fans until June.

Yes, I'm a Cubs fan. No, I don't have high hopes for this season.

Who is this AX guy?

Is Trevor Hoffman still around to sign?

Benny B · « **Reply #35 on:** March 31, 2011, 04:30:49 PM »

If there's any consolation here, the last time the Brewers blew a save on Opening Day, they went to the playoffs.

I can't stand that starting pitchers are pulled as soon as they reach 100 pitches whether they are struggling or not. It's ridiculous. Also, one relief pitcher for each of the last three innings and pulling them even if they are doing ok. Got to love 3 hour baseball when it could have been an easy 2 and a half hour game.

Bert Blyleven completely agrees with you....his biggest pet peeve is pitch count and that they should throw until "the pitcher feels tired" regardless of pitch count.

midseason I agree with you to a large extent. this early I think its much easier for a pitcher to not feel how much he's beating up his arm until its too late. for the first month you need to protect them from themselves

Ouch! Tough loss.

Opening day.
Astros may well be sold this year. Mclane wont be spending or building.
Oswalt. Berkman are gone
Starting catcher, a good hitter, and key to handling our pitchers is out for the year ...acl
starting shortstop hurt badly last week...out for at least a few months
Anyone can easily pitch around any good hitter/s in the lineup
No pitching ace, decent, but inconsistent starting pitching, ...it goes on.
We will battle all year with Pitt for last.

Until there is a team sale, new $, and new GM, stros will tread water, in mediocrity.

I hope I am wrong on every point, tho...Go 'Stros

prediction on 2011:

Reds
Brew
Cards
Cubs
Stros/
Pirates

What was that thing about throwing stones and all?

Judging from recent history, the Brewers and Cubs have only been contenders when the other has also been in the same year. As go the Brewers, so shall the Cubs (and vice versa).

So at least if the Crew does go down, we're taking the Northsiders with us.

I'm a Rockies fan first. (At opening day today! Go Rox!) But the Brewers are my second favorite team in the NL. I think they've got a good chance to win the division as long as games like yesterday don't happen too often. I think with Greinke healthy the Brewers will win the Central. Here's hoping to a Rockies and Brewers NLCS.

Much like how all of Chicago is just dusting off those spankin' new Blackhawks jerseys they put away in storage last June
