Chicago Cubs: Three takeaways from the weekend in Texas

With all of the hype coming into the opening weekend, the Chicago Cubs entered Globe Life Park ready to do damage. The offense took advantage of favorable pitching and broke out in a big way by scoring 28 runs. In all three games, it seemed as if the Cubs had control and should cruise to victory. They were able to do that in only game one, as we saw the bullpen falter in games two and three to blow not only the lead but ultimately the series. With the first series officially in the books, we wanted to look at three key takeaways from the weekend.
