“I felt so good, wanna do the same.”Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker

The Cubs beat the A’s 7-4 last night, clinched their first series win of the season, and finally got to .500 after stops in Tokyo, Arizona, and Sacramento. They’ll go for the sweep this afternoon before returning to Chicago for Friday’s home opener. The players and coaches have been travelling since the week of the Super Bowl, but the team is starting to define itself, which doesn’t seem like a big deal until you look back at last year’s first couple of months.
