Opening-Day is Here
The 2010 season will start with the Chicago Cubs visiting the Atlanta Braves at Turner field.

The Cubs will send Ryan Dempster to the mound to start the season to face off against Derek Lowe. Lowe is looking to rebound off of a season that saw him post an ERA of 4.67.

"Hopefully I can turn things around this year. I've got to get the ball on the ground more than I did last year. If I can do that, I know this season will be better," said Lowe. Despite the high ERA, Lowe still posted a 15-10 season.

The Atlanta Braves will be looking to make the playoffs in what could be manager Bobby Cox's final season.

New GM Phillip Ellis will get his first chance to see the team in action as they take the field this afternoon. "It's exciting. This is a big-time team and we have some big-time players. Reaching the playoffs is our goal. We have the budget to do it and we have the players and coaches to reach that goal. If this is indeed Bobby's last season we want to send him out a winner," said Ellis.

The game will begin at at 4:10 EST at Turner Field.
