The Curse of Wrigley Field

The Cubs never got on track in this one and Carlos Zambrano was roughed up as the Cubs lost their season opener.  The only run of the game came in the fifth inning when Matt Murton scored on Ryan Freel’s throwing error which was originally a single by Derek Lee.  The firstbaseman finished the game with two hits in the 5-1 loss.

Zambrano was tagged for five runs on six hits and five walks with two strikeouts in five innings of work.  Give some props to the pen though because they did a decent job and held the Reds scoreless in three innings.

Ted Lilly gets the start tomorrow in his Cub debut.  He’ll go toe to toe with Bronson Arroyo.
