RBI Triple for Pierre!!! Gotta love that speed.

[YearofDaCubs]

Woot! Cedeno with a double! Hopefully his bat is coming around. Same guy still pitching for the Whitesox?

Yup.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Nice triple, Slappy. Forget that double bs. Go 3.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Good job, Hairston.

[Hatman]

Hey Brooks Boyer...how about Tattoo Sunday!! Edited March 18, 2006 by Hatman

[Vinestal]

sweet we are getting to him now

[Blueheart05]

So where is this defensive magician at 2B?

 

Maybe/maybe not but I don't think Walker gets a glove on it (two runs probably would have scored).

 

It doesn't do too much good to get there if you don't make the play. Walker makes the plays when he gets to the ball.

 

I was away...

 

Walker doesn't always make the plays when he gets a hand on the ball.

[BWcubs21]

looked decent for sure. Is he going to AAA this year?

Thats where he was ticketed for before Prior went down but his name has been mentioned as competing for a rotation spot lately.

[Shilzzz]

does anyone else think ryu should get the 5th spot? he's certainly pitched better than hill.

[baseball7897]

I like Guzman in the fifth spot.

Regardless of who will get the start on April 15, it would be wise to send them to Iowa to get one or two starts in before then rather than waiting on the major league bench.

[Jon]

Great play by Fuld!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

haha, sucka! no 2b for you.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

I like Guzman in the fifth spot.

 

he doesn't have the innings on his arm yet, unfortunately. he has the stuff, that's for sure.

I'll be quite honest I havent been following the Cubs yet in ST, how is Guzman looking?

[TrueBlueCubFan]

FYI, AJ Burnett leaves today's game with an apparent elbow injury:
