The Rundown: Shōtime in Chicago, Cubs Win Home Opener, Bats About to Break Out, Red Sox Mourn Loss of Larry Lucchino

“It’s one for the dagger and another for the one you believe.” – The Fratellis, Chelsea Dagger

My first thought after watching the Cubs’ home opener is that the team’s pitching lab is much more advanced than its pyrotechnics team. I don’t know if that display was an April Fool’s thing or not, but it certainly made Tom Ricketts look as miserly as most fans believe him to be. I imagine he’ll have the players burn sparklers while we’re paying $21.50 for beers if the Cubs reach the World Series.
