Michael Cerami is a Cubs reporter at Bleacher Nation, and before today's game against the Marlins he tweeted something he would soon regret.
If Ian Happ leads off today's game with a home run, I will jump in Lake Michigan later today.

So, yeah.
On the very first pitch of the MLB season, Ian Happ hit a home run. Most baseball fans were celebrating because it was a great way to start off Opening Day, but Cermani was having the complete opposite feeling.

But even though Cermani wasn't looking forward to the moment, he was a man of his word and delivered on his promise.

He probably didn't enjoy that too much, but we certainly did.
