Many thanks to Billy Beane for sending us Addison Russell. We love that kid. Hard luck finish for the Reds' Finnegan, who threw a no hitter into the seventh, got run to the bench with two on that were driven in after he left, and lost the game in the eighth when Addison went yard on Jumbo Diaz to plate three more. (well, Jumbo got the L, but you know what I mean...)
Here's Hector Rondon showing you how real closers closer. Cheese at the knees.

The 101st Opening Day at Wrigley is the first opening day home win in some time for the Cubs. Hopefully, a good omen... 6 - 1 to start the season, and standing on first in the toughest division in baseball (so far).
That'll do.
