Home Opener

Today was the Brewers home opener at Miller Park. I was not in attendance, but they won anyways, 6-2. Russell Branyan hit 2 HR's, and 4 RBI's. One home run hit the centerfield scoreboard. The Brewers improved to 4-2 on the week-old season. [CBS] [Box] [Brewers]

Next game: Tuesday @ 6:35 P.M. Redman vs. Glover.

The Cubs lost at home today 0-1 against the San Diego Padres. Ryan Dempster went 6 strong innings, striking out 7, and giving up only 1 unearned on Burnitz's error. The Cubs fell to 3-4 overall. [CBS] [Box] [Cubs]

The good news: Prior is starting for the Cubs tomorrow. [Cubs]
The bad news: Todd Walker severely strained his left MCL, and will be out 4-6 weeks. They placed him on the 15-day DL today, and called up Mike Fontenot from AAA Iowa. [Cubs]

Next game: Tuesday @ 1:20 P.M. Peavy vs. Prior.
