We all know how trying of a start to the season the Chicago Cubs have had. A 2-7 start with 71 runs allowed in this period definitely had fans sweating a little. A lopsided 10-0 win in their home opener on Monday assuaged at least some of those fears, but the team still has a long way to go before we can all breathe easier.
Meanwhile, the offense has shown tremendous promise, scoring more than 10 runs on five separate occasions already this year. But, at the end of the day, pitching wins games and someone on this staff needs to step up.
