If this mess starts to move a little more east instead of northeast, today's contest might have a chance.  And then we'll see if the missing post problem goes away.

The Cubs are a better team with Barney in there.

There's got to be at least 400 people at the game!

Ogando has walked Castro twice, and every lefty is crushing the ball.  4-0 Cubs in the third.

Soriano's first homer and RBI.  Leave Ogando in, the Cubs are crushing him.

For whatever reason, the Cubs look like a different team today.  Really fine play by Barney on a ball that no other Cub would have caught, much less been able to make the throw on - but he made it look almost routine.  Good, solid hits by Schierholtz, Castillo, Valbuena, DeJesus, Rizzo (and how!) and Soriano.  And first two walks of the season by Castro.

Makes a big difference when your #3 and #4 hole hitters are hitting.  Hopefully Rizzo and Soriano are starting to warm up a bit.

Appears that half the people in the stands are wearing Texas stuff. 

DeJesus hot today.
