When Pat Hughes proclaimed, "Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air," Spring had officially arrived for me, despite the piles of black snow littering my neighborhood. This morning I reflect on what I listened to yesterday and, in the quest to be ever pessimistic about the Northsiders, I'd like to share with you a few things I learned from yesterdays Cubs opener.

  1. It's pretty apparent Randy Wells will be a Cy Young candidate in 2010. His line - 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 2 SO, 0 BB
  2. Fukudome appears to be ready to hit .300.
  3. Derrek Lee will probably hit 35-40 HR's.
  4. Marlon Byrd will prove to be the best free agent signing of 2010.
  5. The new slimmed down Geo Soto should be an All-Star. I predict .295, 25 HR and 90 RBI.
  6. Starlin Castro is a potential HOF SS, I can just tell.
  7. 16 hits! Look for the Cubs to be one of the top offenses in 2010.
  8. Bullpen worries? Who us? Did you see Sean Marshall yesterday?
  9. Kevin Millar will prove to be the secind best free agent pick up of 2010.
  10. Tyler Colvin is amazing, he should be our every day LF.
  11. Milton Bradley was definitely the problem in 2009, I mean c'mon, a 9-3 win over an AL team.
That is all.
