Cubs first home opener under the ownership of the Ricketts family and I must say after many a moons of opening day drubbings, the Cubs were on the winning end of things today in an interleague home opener against the Milwaukee Brewers, so this could be sign of "great things to come" this year for once on the Northside this millennium.
(.... yeah right..... and Obama will pay the 1.5 million dollar bill for his Chicago election night fiasco some day before he's impeached.)
Chicago Cubs beat Milwaukee Brewers 9-5 - chicagotribune.com: "You know things are going to be different in 2010 when the team psychiatrist is standing in the tunnel after the game high-fiving Cubs players as they enter the clubhouse.
That was the scenario Monday afternoon after the Cubs beat the Brewers 9-5 in the home opener.
Xavier Nady, Jeff Baker and Aramis Ramirez homered to power the Cubs, and Ryan Dempster pitched 6 1/3 innings for his first victory.
'It was good to see the team swing the bats,' manager Lou Piniella said.
The Cubs came in with a National League worst .188 average with runners on base, wasting some good starting pitching and forcing the young bullpen to come through in pressure situations. They didn't, leaving the Cubs 2-4 on the opening trip.
But it was smooth sailing Monday after Nady launched a three-run homer off Doug Davis in the third inning. Baker hit a two-run shot moments later, and the Cubs were able to relax and play their game."
