non-Astro Opening Day - 5 Apr 2015

Cards @ Cubs. Cards up 1-0. Bottom of the first.

Fowler gets a double on his first at-bat as a Cubbie.

Starlin Castro hitting cleanup? Stop it, my ribs are hurting me...
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Man it's great to see real baseball again. Even if it is the Cards and Cubs.

Trying to remember who hit third while they held Springer down.  Probably Fowler.

Molina's career appears to be on the downside.

How much are the Cubs paying Lester? All that and he can hold a runner?

That's not real baseball.  They don't have a DH.

No RBI's, either. What a waste.

Starling Castro has been an All-Star 3 times. What a joke.

That play to first while the runner moved to third was a little strange. I hope he figures that out.

Heyward is having a good night. Jorge Soler not so much.

So sad Oscar Taveras ain't in the outfield for the Cards.

Lester can't make it out of the fourth in his Cubs debut.

I still maintain that the Cubs are going to have struggles with consistently scoring runs, at least until Kris Bryant shows up, which should be in about two weeks. Olt is not the answer at the hot corner.
