@BleacherJeff I bet he was wearing a tie 👔

Guy refuses to throw the homer back or give it to a kid. Worse than mai tai ever was. Boo this man.

@Zack_Pearson Nobody can overcome an 0-2 deficit with 160 games left on the schedule. I always thought everyone knew that.

Season isn't even 24 hours old.

@MLBGuyRocked If you make a video about this guy, New Girl Now by Honeymoon Suite would be the perfect song.

Troy Tulowitzki That guy rocked.

@mike_petriello @CarlsBeef @WeatherApplied I had an aisle seat right at the top of the section here. Everyone including myself jumped up thinking the ball was coming right at us.

Yesterday, Ian Happ hit an absolute tank for a home run. 109 off the bat. 32 deg LA. .. except, he didn't. Thanks to our friends at @WeatherApplied, we know that the wind cost him *113 feet* of distance -- which is now the largest stop in the data. --> mlb.com/news/how-ian-h…

Cold weather with a 20-plus mph wind gust coming out of the north, rain off and on during the game, losing by 4 runs in the 9th (which became a 6 run deficit), and forecast for heavy rain and severe storms approaching the area. Yeah… a lot of people headed for an early exit. Also keep in mind, a lot of inexperienced fans dressed for the weather they felt in the morning, when it was a mild 70 degrees, as opposed to preparing for the cold front that eventually came through after they opened the gates. The temps continued to drop throughout the game. So I suspect a lot of those who left early were the ones were unprepared for the drop in temperature.

@thescorechicago If they get swept at home to start the season, that’s when I’ll be concerned.

The Cubs weren't in midseason form in their 10-4 loss to the Nationals on Opening Day. Rest assured, Dustin is in midseason form with his Cubs takes. "On Saturday, March 28, we are going to have the earliest must-win statement game by the Cubs," he says.

For teams with a retractable roof stadium, agreed. Don’t need a built in off day to mitigate potential inclement weather. But if you schedule it the day after most other teams have their opening day, I would suspect people would complain about that as well (not saying you personally would complain, just people in general).

The dumbest thing Major League Baseball does is schedule an off day right after Opening Day. They build all that hype, then they immediately hit pause. Lol. There's my rant.

@DoctorLemma That’s a great story and everything. And I’m happy for the man. But couldn’t he have just used a digital voice recorder to capture the message as backup just in case he lost the original answering machine message? He had 11 years to mitigate that possibility.

For eleven years, a 68-year-old retired forklift truck driver from Mirfield, England began each day by listening to his late wife's voice on their home answering machine message. She had passed away from cancer in 2003. He never changed phone companies. Every time a new provider offered him a better deal, he asked the same question: if I switch, will her voice be kept? The answer was always no. So he stayed. Then in December 2014, Virgin Media, his telephone provider, deleted the message during routine technical work. Stan Beaton described the moment he found out as one of the worst of his life. "I just could not tell people how it affected me," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "It really did devastate me." He contacted Virgin Media and told them what had happened. The executive director of engineering later described the task of finding it as searching for a needle in a haystack. The chances of recovery, he said, were slim. A team of engineers spent three days searching through archived servers anyway. They found it. Virgin Media sent Stan a CD with the recording. He broke down in tears the moment he heard her voice again. Is there a voice you would do anything to hear one more time?

@BronxBmbrz I always wonder if bro watches his own content afterwards and admires his reactions.

Do people actually spend their time watching this

Team Red Bill

@ChiSoxFanMike @SoxSideJustin Only the diehards stay until the end. No matter the score. No matter the weather. Today… I died HARD as a fan.

@SoxSideJustin They’ll say “but it was cold and rainy” as if they don’t constantly post pictures of Sox Park in April when it’s cold and rainy

All I ever hear from Cubs fans is that Wrigley is always packed no matter the score. Yet it looks like they packed it up early on Opening Day.

@skumWgmi That’s how it was designed by the elites. Make the peasants work until they get to finally enjoy retirement. Then die the moment they get there. Then the elites sit back like the Jerry Seinfeld eating popcorn meme, “that’s a shame.”

My boomer uncle saved $1.2 million for retirement. - drove a 2003 Honda until it felt apart - packed his lunch everyday for 33 years - had a whole list of things he was going to do He died 2 weeks before retiring

@DAVEXEETS I think the 3 hole is like a seniority thing. Happ is the longest tenured Cubs player, so he gets the 3 hole. I know it sounds stupid, but wouldn’t be surprised if that was the deciding factor.

Whats worse Boyd being our ace or Happ being in the 3 hole

@cody__cubs I am proud to say I was the 69th person to like this post.

This must have been a late promotion added because it was my first time hearing it when Boog and JD mentioned it but this is a fantastic hat.

@BachelorJoker @BrianAtlas What they really wanted was to be seen as some sort of victim. That’s what gets them the clicks, the attention, the validation.

@BrianAtlas Women told men for over a decade to stop telling them what to do, or to ask them out. Now they're complaining men don't ask them out or tell them what to do. They really don't like it when they get what they want do they?

“How far they can get with” - yeah that’s not how that works. While the advice is mostly good, this isn’t going to get you the girl. This ONLY works for the guy she wants. And the guy she wants doesnt have to do that lol.

@dom_lucre I bet the robot didn’t even come here legally, either.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: This man is being called the first robophobic after he snapped on this delivery bot that wanted him to push the cross walk button. “You took a human's job, you take over our infrastructure and you want me to press the button for you”

Been watching Joker’s content since the pandemic days. Helped me accept my reality and focus better with my life journey. Mentally I’m in a much better place now, even though it can still be a struggle at times.

@Brett_A_Taylor Opening night

Been thinking about this. It’s the first day of the MLB season because there is that one Netflix game tomorrow night. But it’s not “Opening Day.”

@naiivememe Bro I was 6 in 1996 now I’m 106. Let that sink in.

Just heard that someone who was 29 in 1996 is now 70
