Once again, I know this is a day late, I do have stuff to do. Anyway, the Brewer fans brought their brooms to Wrigley expecting a sweep. Instead, converted starter to reliever to starter Ryan Dempster, went to the mound to start for the first time since 2005. The beginning of the game doesn't look too promising, as he gives up two runs in the first. But with a little help from the bottom 2/3 of the lineup, the Cubs tie it up in the second. From there on out, the Cubs continued to cruise and build on their lead with a big boost from an Aramis Ramirez homer in the fifth, his first of the year. Alfonso Soriano finally gets his first hit of the year, an RBI single to push the lead to 5-2 in the sixth. Four different Cubs had a steal in this game: Soriano, Pie, Fukudome, and Theriot. Kerry Wood gets his first career save in his first career save opportunity, so I'm not worried about what might happen with him as a closer. The Cubbies steal a win and don't get swept to begin the season, but it still doesn't look pretty.
W: Dempster (1-0)
L: Bush (0-1)
SV: Wood (1)
