I could bask in the wonder of yesterday’s game for a long time, especially that third inning. I take nothing but pure delight in knowing that the Cubs absolutely silenced the Cardinals from the beginning, and did it in St. Louis too. It is hard to tell how the next two games of this series will go, but I assure you, the Cubs shellacking of that team from Missouri was no fluke yesterday. I am tempted to focus solely on the offense first, but I actually want to highlight Dan Haren to begin.
When the Cubs first traded for Haren, I was content but not overly excited.
