Happy Opening Day everyone. The Cubs start their 2006 campaign today in Cincinnati as Big Z gets the nod against Aaron Harang and the Reds. None of the experts picked the Cubs to do much damage, but we didn't get any props in 2003 either, and we should have been in the World Series that year.I'm still optimistic. Baseball is probably the most fun season of the year, because of the length, the fact that your team plays almost every day, and it spans the best weather of the year in the midwest. Some people are even saying that 2006 will be the greatest baseball season ever. I'm not making any predictions that are so lofty, but I am very much looking forward to seeing how the NL Central, and the league at large, play out.
For now, go Cubs. Let's make this year a memorable one.
UPDATE: 16 runs on 18 hits and 7 walks for the Cubs today as they defeat the Reds handily, 16-7. The offense was better than we thought, the defense good, the pitching a little inconsistent, but the Cubs got the job done and the season started on the right foot. Day off Tuesday, and then back at it versus the Reds again Wednesday.
