San Diego Padres at Chicago Cubs: Game 1

The Chicago Cubs opened a 4-game series against the San Diego Padres tonight at Wrigley Field. The game time temperature was 41 degrees so I brought my winter gear to the game to stay warm. The Cubs batted around in both the 5th and 6th inning and beat the Padres 12-3.

Mark Prior, who now plays for the Padres, is once again on the DL. He was placed on the 60-day DL after having shoulder surgery on March 26. It was almost 6 years ago when Prior pitched in "one of the most anticipated debuts in the history of the Chicago Cubs" on May 22, 2002. Now we’re just waiting for when he can debut a healthy season.
