My Brother's a Bastard

He just called me from the Cubs home opener - laughing and cackling over his cell phone while the Wrigley faithful cheered the Cubs along. He's sitting on the third base line, about 11 rows up from the field.

It's in the upper 40's today. Cold, but a beautiful sunny day. Not bad for an early spring day in Chicago. Bastard's sitting outside enjoy a baseball game while I'm in my little cubicle writing about the game.

Middle of the 2nd

Pirates 5
Cub 0

Cubs fell apart in the 2nd inning. It's time for Maddux to get it under control and for the Cub bats to come alive. They've got plenty of baseball to play, but they can't let the Pirates get away.
