3-4: Opening Day 2010

The offense came to play in the home opener yesterday as the Cubs defeated the Brewers 9-5. While it wasn't quite a classic Cubs-Brewers slugfest, the day delivered homers from new Cub Xavier Nady, 2B Jeff Baker, and Aramis Ramirez. The Brewers got a longball of their own from noted homersexual Ryan Braun. Dempster gave up all five runs, but pitched well enough to secure the win.Other good signs:1. Marlon Byrd was 3-5 with a run scored and an RBI. And he's still not Milton Bradley.2. The homer by Ramirez snapped an 0 for 17 skid.3. James Russell, Snork, and Carlos Marmol combined to allow 1 hit (Russell) and 1 walk (Marmol) over 2.2 shutout innings. Wolter's head explodes in shock.4. The Cubs managed to put up some big numbers against Doug Davis, a soft tosser who has given them issues in the past.I can only assume that like the past few years, the offense will continue in this feast or famine fashion. The series continues Wednesday.
