First night game and other notes

Let’s hope the Cubs play better tonight than they did Monday. A win is a win, but you can’t continue to play poor fundamental baseball and win consistently. Ryan Dempster gets his second start of the year. Let’s hope he’s as effective as he was in his first one.

Brewers are off to a fast start at 6-1. Cubs can’t afford to let them get too far in front. Comebacks like last year’s are hard to repeat.

The mailbag feature on chicagocubs.com has a lot of interesting items this morning. Carrie Muskat, who writes for MLB.com, used to work for the Register Star.

Carrie and I also worked together at the Champaign-Urbana Morning Courier, a newspaper that went under in 1979. Other alums of the Morning Courier include Reed Schreck, who covers the Bears for the Register Star, and Dave French, a longtime Register Star sports writer who moved to Florida in 1998. French died in 2006.
