Now This Is More Like It
 The Cubs laid a smack down on the Pirates last night. The easily beat the Pirates 12 - 1 in Pittsburgh, after jumping out with an eight-run first inning. The game also marked the debut of Cubs rookie pitcher Sergio Mitre who obviously earned a victory in his first outing.
I didn't get to watch the game, but checking out the box score reveals an impressive game for Corey Patterson. He went 5 - 6 with a single RBI. Moises Alou and Derrek Lee also both came through big, each driving in 3 runs a piece. Alou is tearing things up so far this season, hitting .377 with 6 home runs and 16 RBI - team leaders all.
Sergio only gave up 4 hits across 4 innings, tallied 7 strike outs, walked three, and didn't give up a single run. A nice way to enter the majors.
The victory also moved the Cubs into a tie for first in the Central Division thanks to the spanking the Cardinals delivered to the Houston Astros on Thursday. St. Louis won 12 - 6.
This is getting fun.
