Whew, Rick Morrissey can breathe easier knowing David Ross isn’t conducting business as usual on the North Side. The Sun-Times scribe was a little concerned about the possibility that Ross would tab his good buddy to start Opening Day in a ballpark that could feature even fewer Brewers fans than usual when the Cubs come to visit.
The Cubs manager confirmed prior to Wednesday’s game that either Yu Darvish or Kyle Hendricks would be taking the bump at Miller Park or AmFam Field or whatever it’s called. There was never any doubt it’d be one or the other, but Ross was plenty blunt so as to make things clear for the folks in the back who haven’t been paying attention.
