“Low brow, but I rock a little know-how. No time for the piggies or the hoosegow.” – Red Hot Chili Peppers, Give it Away
The defending champs are 1-0 but the Cubs were inches away from wrecking their coronation in last night’s 4-3 loss. Sure, watching Chicago’s bullpen struggle to hold a lead for what seems like the seventh consecutive season is gut-wrenching, but it’s not nearly as hurtful as watching Justin Steele leave with a hamstring injury. Steele was pitching like the ace Craig Counsell is counting on until the big lefty hurt himself on a squibbler to the first base side.
