After getting bludgeoned to death on opening day, and having the bullpen suckerpunch us in the second game, Randy Wells finally stepped up and said enough of this bullshit, shutting down the Braves en route to a 2-0 win for the Cubs. The more I see him pitch, the more I like Wells. His demeanor is like a right-handed Ted Lilly.

Tyler Colvin got the start in left field and made the most of the opportunity, hitting his first major league home run in the second inning. Who needs Nady? I look forward to seeing Tyler getting plenty of playing time once Fukudome goes into his annual June swoon.

Sean Marshall again pitches his ass off in relief followed up by Esmailin Caridad having a respectable outing as well. John Grabow? Ugh. Jeff Samardzija being on the roster is the only thing making me not hate you more.

Whoever picked the third game of the season in the "When Will Chipper Jones Get Injured?" pool, please come down and collect your prize.

Jason Heyward absolutely floundered against Carlos Marmol's slider. Perhaps he should offer Jobu some more rum.

The Cubs head to Cincinnati next for a weekend series against the Reds. Carlos Silva faces Homer Bailey to kick off the series tomorrow night. Hopefully Silva doesn't completely suck, although he seems like the type of pitcher that makes a Dusty Baker lineup look stupid so who knows. Anyway it's nice to get that first win under their belt.

Go Cubs!
