Cubs Opening Day 2023 Preview

Well, folks, after a month of generally entertaining (and brisk) Cactus League games, we have mere hours until first pitch on Opening Day at Wrigley Field. The Cubs will face off against the Milwaukee Brewers for a brief home opening series before they head on the road because schedules are wack, and while it is probably true that the Brewers still have a better team than *waves hands* whatever the Cubs have right now, a three-game set can go either way and I’ll be hoping for a Cubs sweep to give Kato Kaelin another aneurysm. There are a whole host of blogs in the archives I’m too lazy to backlink now but they’re there, and I’ll just rehash some of the previous talking points along with some new thoughts as we count down the hours until the defense takes the field.
