Live Blog - Opening Day - 1st Inning

Cubs lineup:  DeJesus, Castro, Rizzo, Soriano, Scherholtz, Castillo, Valbuena, Lillibridge, Samardzija.

DeJesus strikes out.  Burnett is throwing a little harder than I remember.  Pitched DeJesus inside.  Fooled him with a high fastball for called Strike Three.

Castro gets a single on first breaking ball Burnett has thrown.

Rizzo homers on first pitch.  Looked like a high change-up, but I could be wrong.

Soriano an easy out.  Scherholtz gets a bloop single, but Castillo grounds out to first on hit and run.  Burnett doesn't look sharp.

Samardzija throwing hard, but wild.  Walks Marte to start the game.  First chance for Lillibridge.  Botches up routine double play ball.  Bad news here.  McCutcheon hits a double play ball that Lillibridge fails to convert.  Bad luck here.  Samardzija comes back to strike out the next two hitters, which si jsut as well given the defense behind him.
