Yes, the Cubs may have issues playing defense, holding a lead and scoring runs - all of which were expected going into the season. Now for the true rationale for the Cubs dropping the first couple of games, it's my TV.

You see I got a new TV in the offseason. It seems every time that Braves scored on Monday and last night, I was watching this TV including Jones HR last night, Z 1st and 2nd innings of the opener and Smardzija meltdown. When the Cubs scored I seemed to be watching another TV.

The solution: No, I'm not planning to take a baseball bat to the cursed TV. I'm slightly more rationale than that. I'm giving the TV motivation to stop showing me Cubs losses. I've explained my point of view to the TV and placed a brick within arms reach of the TV. Now it's up to the TV, if it wants to continue living, it can stop showing me Cubs losses.

Just in case, anyone interested in a slightly damaged, non-functioning, cursed TV?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

You left the brick where the TV can reach it? You're an idiot.

I'm giving the TV a fighting chance.
