There's nothing like a 15-2 win on opening day.
In their first opening day under manager Dusty Baker, the Cubs took advantage of opportunities and New York Met miscues. Corey Patterson had a day (2 home runs, 7 runs batted in) that hopefully begins a season of fulfilled potential. Kerry Wood pitched strong to pick up the win.
The Cubs lead the National League Central.
Even after one game, that feels good to type.
Tied for the lead...with the Cardinals :)
That is, of course a good point. As a Cubs fan, however, I have to celebrate now while I have the chance. :)
Hell yeah!
So Patterson is on pace for what, 324 home runs this year? That should go well with Sosa's pace of 162. :)
This kind of start sure beats that 0-14 start a few years back. That was terrible.
Craig, where are you from? It's always to know there's other Cubs fans blogging!
