FOOK-OOH-DOUGH-MAY, Clap-Clap-ClapClapClap
I could get used to Brewers-Cubs games like the one on Opening Day. It was easily the best viewing on Monday, chock full of tasty storylines — from Carlos Zambrano getting hurt, Carlos Marmol dealing, Kerry Wood struggling, Eric Gagne struggling even more and Kosuke Fukudome becoming a fan(tasy??) favorite. Five of the division races should be very good this year, but the one in the NL Central might be the most compelling of all, and the Cubs and Brewers will have played six times by May 1.
Plus you have to love “when a star is born in the teeth of the Lake Michigan wind.”

Yeah that a sweet game. It was close, but I think Gagne took down Kerry Wood to win the first round of the Washed Up Closer World Heavyweight Title (WUCWHT ®). Stay tuned for rounds 2 through 162.
