chilly day at wrigley. a day for the pitchers, and ryan dempster took advantage of it; seven and two thirds, two hits and ten strikeouts but his bullpen let him down, first kerry wood in the eighth and then carlos marmol in the ninth. ian desmond poked it to right to score the go-ahead run, that was rough. the cubs did have a chance in their last at bat, ian stewart hit one that would have bounced off a building across sheffield on a lot of days. today it fell on the warning track, a one out triple but pinch-runner joe mather was thrown out at the plate trying to score on a grounder to third and that's it - cubs lose the opener, 2 to 1 they wasted a good one from ryan dempster. >> he was incredible. he got out a couple of early jams and after that he was just about as good as you can get. his carter his slider everything was tremendous.
