Got lucky on that one. And Dunn hit's another one.

Since the first, good. The first? Not so much.

Nice call. I think it would have been funnier if Izturis got the first Cubs hit of the year.

Last year. The Cubs opened in Cincinnati last year. EDIT: In 2001 the Cubs opened at home vs Montreal.

Dustyball is still around! Lou might need to resort to drastic tactics. I suggest that anybody who swings at the first pitch and doesn't get a hit should get caned.

5-2 Indians does anyone actually care about a White Sox game? Obviously some do.

So how much does Pete Rose have on this game?

Z's location is leaving a lot to be desired thus far.

If the Cubs were wearing blue right now Z wouldn't have given up that home run. He would be out of the inning already.

On a 1-2 pitch no less. That's the best pitch you could make there Z?

The awful gray unis.

"Carlos wants to find the strike zone more often this year" Good start Z. A 4 pitch walk.

ESPN is a few seconds behind WGN also.

What a bum. Let's trade him.

I wish the Cubs were wearing blue today.

Isn't the game going to be televised on WGN also?

And we don't even need to bring up Rich Hill.

Actually, he's been quite silent on the whole situation. Not one word said or written. It's rather odd. :D

Words fail me.

C Posada 1B Howard 2B Utley SS Rollins 3B ARam LF Dunn CF Soriano RF Dye DH Ortiz Come on, do you really expect to score any runs with this lineup? Wow. Terrible lineup. So in need of some table setters and a prototypical 8th hitter. And a true leadoff hitter like Juan Pierre.

And he'll blame Bruce Miles.

Did you ever hear back from the guy with the USA-Mexico shirts?

UNC's men's and women's teams both have something in common: They both choked away big leads in the second half. UNC didn't hit a field goal in the last 8 minutes of the game.
