The Chicago Cubs today announced their 2016 regular season television broadcast schedule; opening in inter league play at Los Angeles versus the Angels on April 4th. The Chicago Cubs will open their home slate versus the Cincinnati Reds on April 11th.
It’s the most anticipated Cubs season in a generation. The team is actually Las Vegas’ favorite to win the World Series, so hopes, hype and expectations have never been higher. Pitchers and catchers report in 8 days.
Cubs Nation has a “hey, everybody, we’re all going to get laid” kind of vibe this season.
