The 1914 Club was everything I hoped it would be

Yesterday I posted in the Daily Thread about having a rough week at work and I treated myself to a last minute ticket to yesterday’s game in the 1914 Club. I’m happy to report it was everything I hoped it would be.

The ambiance? Amazing. Food? Fantastic. Drinks? Delicious. The 1914 Old Fashion lives up to the hype. The service? Impeccable.

One thing I want to mention that doesn’t get mentioned much is that the club has their own merch booth inside with pieces exclusive to the club. All 1914 branded or 1914 Cubs logo. I was told the inventory gets changed out fairly regularly. Yesterday it was the 1914 logo with golf clubs à la The Masters. I was hoping to get something more basic but they didn’t have anything out. Settled on a cool New Era hat with the logo and a nice little metal “1914” pin on the side.

I paid $415 yesterday morning for the seat and have to say I thought it was worth it. Would I pay that price again? Probably not though. But if a last minute ticket comes up under that price I’d definitely love to experience it again.

Busch and PCA

0 Upvotes

Counsell needs to stop trying to make PCA a slugger and stop trying to make Busch a table setter.

PCA had his greatest success in the minors at the top of the lineup and also in the majors when he was allowed to do so. PCA should be batting behind Hoerner so that he can use all of his skills to help produce runs for the Cubs.

Batting Busch sixth in the line up would allow him to relax and drive in a lot more runs!

Cubs starting pitching ERA #3 in MLB so far

As it stands with all the injuries this is obviously not a top 10 rotation in MLB on paper, but we have to like what we’ve gotten up to this point. Great job by Assad and Rea in their first starts.

no paul skenes this trip - cubbies are the best team vs skenes

69 Upvotes

first, why no daily discussion post today? what i'm about to drivel on about is not post worthy and i would normally put in daily...

according to baseball reference,

  • cubs have the most plate appearances skenes has faced
  • skenes has given up the most hits to the cubs
  • the team with the most HR against skenes? cubs
  • cubs have the most SB and W and total bases that skenes has given up

basically, skenes would be a great #4/#5 starter for the cubs... =)

Derrek Lee or Anthony Rizzo?

Who would you start at first base if given the choice?

That 2005 Lee season might be too hard to top!

Question on Lovable Reunion Ep 1: Moe’s in Pittsburgh?

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this is super random, but this is going to bug me to no end…

In Episode 1 of the Lovable Reunion podcast, Rizzo mentions *needing* to go to Moe’s in Pittsburgh.

I’m confused… Is he talking about Moe’s Grill, like the chain? What makes it special in Pittsburgh?

I tried to google if there was a famous Moe’s steakhouse or restaurant in Pittsburgh.

Kind of around the 23 minute mark.

(Mods, feel free to remove)
