TODAY'S CUBS GAME: 9 - 4

Wow, Cubs led 4-3 until the bottom of the 8th, when the Braves scored, er, 6 runs.

I don't really have anything clever or pithy to say, other than to congratulate Atlanta's 21-year-old Jeff Francoeur, who, in his first major-league game, hit a 3-run homer in that devastating inning in front of his parents and siblings. Nice work, kid, that's gotta feel great.
