Cubs luck doesn't get better
Incredible but it’s true, the Cubs haven’t won an MLB World Series Title since the 1908 season, yes exactly, 100 years ago...
And things doesn’t look bright at all for Chicago who, after two days delays for their season start, lost at home against the Brewers on a very tight match. Even though it was the debut of their super star off-season acquisition: Japanese outfielder Kosuke Fukudome, and it was also the day of the unveiling of a Ernie Banks statue outside Wrigley Field.
The game was tight at 3 at the bottom of the third and it was until the 10th inning that Tony Gwynn ran to first base in order to give the Brewers their fifth straight victory on opening day beating Chicago 4-3.
"It's definitely huge to beat your arch rival in your division, especially on Opening Day." Said Brewers David Riske.
Fukudome, who was acquired for $48 million and a 4 year contract, didn’t disappoint on his debut, he finished 3 for 3 but it wasn’t enough to top the Brewers.
"It was a pretty good day for me, but we lost the game." The Japanese said.
