Double the fun...

So the local media was all jacked up, because the Cubs were playing a double header that would feature "a pair of aces" in Kerry Wood and Mark Prior. Well, they might want to rethink that headline, and Wood was knocked around for 4 runs in the first inning, and the Cubs were never in it, losing game one, 8-3. So of course Mark Prior, who everyone was worried about after his sore arm and bad minor league start, came out and pitched a gem, with the Cubs winning that one by the same score, 8-3. It was a day to defy logic, as Dusty Baker blew our minds by starting Neifi Perez in both games, and Neifi followed it up by getting 6 hits in 9 at bats. Anyway, the Cubs should be happy with their split and after taking Thursday off, they'll play the team that always has the cure for what ails them, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Oh, and the opener of that series will feature the Cubs REAL ace, Carlos Zambrano.
