Live blog: Opening Day 6

Top of the seventh.  Dempster is cruising along.  Next inning may be the test as he is closing in on 90 pitches.

Bottom of the seventh.  I may have to mute the TV sound.  The insufferable Bill Murray is singing the stretch, which means he will chatter on through any exciting plays that may occur in the bottom half of the inning.

Lots of times on days like this, the game will break down to outs the other team gives you.  The Cubs gave the Nats an out early in the game, but it didn't matter.  The Cubs got an out from the Nationals later and turned it into a run.  The Cubs got another break to start this inning when Desmond played a tough chance into a hit that should have been called an error.  Byrd, however, promptly hit into a double play.
