March 19, 20197 yr Some good news as spring training comes to a close next week...the weather will be better this year. We’re not going to have a repeat of last year’s April nonsense. Long range forecast has east of the Rockies warmer than normal through the first few weeks of April.

Lopez is pitching tonight. He’s probably going to be the number 2, and start the home opener 4/4.

March 19, 20197 yr Tomorrow's headline will obviously be Kopech falling off of a cliff and landing on Eloy Jimenez, crippling them both.

Tough series of events/injuries let other push him out of the way. Such a nice guy, hopefully he gets the opportunity again, though I can't see it being with the Sox.

Last time I went in 2017 there was a palpable sense that it had grown into more than just about baseball (good for baseball really) and was about just having a really good time while laying in the sun and taking in the chance to see pro athletes for 10 cents on the dollar and taking that savings to buy booze and food. edit: well, perception can be a helluva thing. Looks like the last year I went in 2017 was a high water mark for attendance and they've seen a small dip the last two years. Dodgers increased their attendance this year at Camelback as well but only slightly, around 2%. Wonder if the nasty Chicago February weather helped? Couldn't find much on Cubs attendance this spring.

Nicky still has at least 2 more years of options. Sure he's on the 40 man, but there is plenty of fat to trim before he was would be on the chopping block. I'd be very surprised if we've seen the last of Nicky in a Sox uni.

Non baseball junkies I know go there for the weather/atmosphere/party basically. Definitely feels like more than baseball. It was a heck of a time though. Took about a full week for my body to recover from it though...
March 25, 20197 yr Weather looks good Thursday throughout baseball. High 60s scattered storms in KC Probably lucked out both Chicago teams on the road, as Thursday-Saturday could be rainy. Right now April 4 says 49, but that’s too far away. Edited March 25, 20197 yr by flavum
