OPENING DAY: CUBS @ REDS
Although Carlos Zambrano's opening-day start has been a bust and Aaron Harang has foiled Cubs batters -- allowing only 6 hits and 1 run in 7 innings -- it's been a blast to watch. MLB.com's got this new 700K streaming option, which means a much clearer watching experience than the old 450K.
What about Zambrano? The Angry Baby Giant™ was clearly overwhlemed by the emotion of starting on opening day. We got to see a lot of his anger -- in the dugout, on the mound, making that long mournful walk off the field after a third out. The cameras did a great job of capturing Z as he lectured himself on the mound, pounding his fist into his chest while (no doubt) cursing his very own name.
I wanted to transport myself out there and tell him to chill out and enjoy the day. This game doesn't really matter. There are 161 to go. But the Angry Baby Giant™ wouldn't deserve that trademark if he didn't live up to it, eh?

Nope. You gotta live up to the trademark.
As the eternal optimist, I’m taking the opening day loss as a good sign. The Cubs have won on opening day for 5 straight years, and look at all the good that did them.
