per Angelo Di Carlo WNDU News

Former Notre Dame 2-sport star Jeff Samardzija will start the first game of his major league career on Wednesday night at Wrigley Field, Cubs manager Lou Piniella announced on sunday. ... Samardzija will faceoff against the defending World Series champion Phillies. And the competiton will be even tougher--reigning CY Young Award winner Cliff Lee will be the opposing pitcher.

He will be facing Pedro Martinez, not Cliff Lee.

rough start. a double and 2 triples and 2 ER given up in the first inning. i hate the cubs, but id really love to see Samardzija do well.

DAMN he's on my fantasy team, and the only starter i had today

 

[The Polish Irishman]

He got light up like the 4th of July....Shark is a setup man right man...He does not have a 3rd pitch and hitters are just sitting on his fastball.

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

Yeah it was not pretty to watch. He is better out of the pen.

 

[WabashFalcon]

Time for him to go Bo Jackson and Reggie Sanders.

 

[Steve]

they brought him up way too fast. he still needs to learn how to pitch instead of just throwing. he could be a good starter.
