The Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3 in their first home win of the season tonight. It was also the first night game at Wrigley Field this year.
Travis Wood started for the Cubs but ended up with a no-decision as Carlos Marmol earned the win and Kyuji Fujikawa earned the save. If you're looking for more details on the win, you can go to

The Cubs broke their 4-game losing streak with tonight's win and the fans that braved the cold night were rewarded with being able to sing "Go Cubs Go."
Yesterday was the Cubs home opener, which I was lucky enough to attend and sit in the 4th row behind the Cubs bullpen. Even though they couldn't pull off a "W" yesterday, it was still really special to be back at Wrigley taking in a game and enjoying the beautiful weather. Although it was pouring rain earlier that morning, the skies cleared and the sun came out and for most of the game it was in the mid-60's. It was definitely one of the nicer weather home openers I've been to at the Friendly Confines. Anyway, following are some photos I took at the game. Hope you enjoy them!
