Opening Day and I'm at work. The Cubs and the Sox both play day games while I'm at school. Vacation begins this evening...and both teams are off tomorrow. Perfect timing.
However, I slipped down to the forensics house, hooked up the cable and watched as much as I could. I saw a couple of innings between Boston and Detroit and at 2 flipped over to WGN. I saw the opening day announcement of all the players and coaches- I saw Bill Murray bounce the first pitch- I saw Dempster pitch out of trouble in the first and then settle down and outpitch Strasburg for the afternoon.
In between watching three persuasive speeches perform I saw Woody walk in the tying run in the 8th. I saw Ian Stewart miss tying the game in the 9th by what looked like inches- ending up with a triple. I saw a pinch runner get thrown out at home plate just a few pitches later.
I saw enough to remember what it feels like to be a Cubs fan.
Nationals 2, Cubs 1 Cubs (0-1)
