no nomar no more . . . .
either espn miked the cub wives’ section of the stands, or a lotta chicagotoids made it to busch last night. here’s what some on’m are saying this a.m.:

"The Cubs seemed to come out and approach this game with a sense of purpose. It may be too early to have one of those "message" games, but winning at St. Louis, a house of horrors for years, in decisive fashion in front of a full house, has to buoy the spirits and confidence of every single member of the ballclub."
cub reporter
"I’d love to be excited by a well-played victory versus our arch-nemesis the Cardinals, but the ever-lasting image of Nomar crumpling to the ground and subsequently being carried off the field is sadly what most of us will probably take from the game. No definitive word on the injury yet, but I got one of those hunches that it’s really, really bad. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we see him before the All-Star break."
cub reporter also has an extended post about nomar’s injury and the cubs’ options in the wake thereof.
chicago tribune
steve stone apparently steered clear of the cubs while prepping for his duties as espn game analyst last night. quoth he: "I don't anticipate any problems. It's a new year. They have certain goals they have to attain and I'm trying to do my job. We're not going to interact."
finally, there was this piece of news from yesterday’s open game thread at bleed cubbie blue:
"Too lazy to look up the Cubs' record on the days after new popes were elected.

a very interesting study, but far more pertinent obviously to our guys — insofar as after casting their votes they have to fly back from the vatican in time for the first pitch. on the day after electing a new holy father, the cardinals:
lost to the giants 14-4 on august 12 1903
lost to pgh 2-1 on sept 4 1914
beat los angeles 2-1 on jun 22 1963
beat atlanta 14-3 on august 27 1978
lost to the cubs 3-1 on april 20 2005
