The cubs dropped the ball literally to the division rivals brewers early this week. I am a big believer in it is a long season… all you have to do is win series that’s all and that is how you get into the playoffs…especially series against teams in your division… I know it seems simple doesn’t it… but why doesn’t it happen to the cubs?
I am not on the superstitious side, that would be my grandma who would walk around the block to avoid a black cat…LOL and just like that I would laugh and call her crazy for that…maybe she knew something that I didn’t know.
on a lighter note… during the home opener season, I still saw some potential Ted Lilly didn’t have his great stuff and that is ok, I know he will come along just find, he was the losing streak stopper last year and I always like to see him pitch when he was with the blue jays and Lord knows I love a lefty with one of those sweeping curve balls that he and rich hill throw.
The Cubs lost the first game with big Z on the mound 4-3 and they loss that one late, we were in that game until the 9th inning…promising especially Fukudome…I am in love with him.

The Cubs lost the second game with Lilly on the mound 8-2 and even though he didn’t have his best stuff, he fought like a veteran does… remember this is a 162 game season and I peg him for at least 15 wins.

The third game of the season featured Ryan Dempster as the starter, and we won 6-3, we are used to seeing him close out games but the role is switched this year and I liked what I saw…that changeup was nasty along with that slider…as long as he can give us 6 good quality innings we are good especially with that bullpen we got.
