After a rain delay, the Cubs' great Japanese hope, Kosuke Fukudome, got his first MLB ups in the second inning. He only needed to see one pitch:
Brent Musburger was so dead set on telling us how similar the one Japanese guy is to the other Japanese guy that he basically missed the entire play, until after the ball hit the wall. But hey, we all just absolutely had to know that Fukudome's leg kick is not quite as high as Ichrio's. Hideki Matsui feels so left out.
UPDATE: Fukudome just hit a three-run bomb off Eric Gagne in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game. Quite a debut indeed.
