Why We Love That Baseball Is Back

There's nothing like a second straight early April defeat for the Chicago Cubs at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers - - televised straight in HD to the home office - - that will always cure what ails ya.

And game day reporting can include some great little nuggets, like this end note from today's AP account of the Cub's 8-2 defeat:

"Part of [Cubs' pitcher] Carlos Zambrano's problems with cramping is related to a low potassium level, manager Lou Piniella said. Zambrano had to leave in the seventh Monday with a cramp in his right forearm. He's had similar problems with cramps in past seasons. Zambrano said he would have to drink more water. Piniella said his ace will have to eat more bananas. And the Cubs would also like Zambrano to cut back on his caffeine intake."
