ST - 3/5 Diamondbacks (Haren) @ Cubs (Z!) 2:05 CST

[JonJayCutler]

Although I will point out that this four-run inning was probably more of a reflection of how bad Aaron Heilman is.

I'm with ya bro.

[CUBZ99]

Colvin 2-3, Castro 2-4, and B. Jackson with a nice day (3b, 2BB's). Nice showing from the farm so far today.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Castro listed as 2-for-4 with 3 total bases. Second hit must have been a double.

[JonJayCutler]

I realized today how atrocious our bullpen is going to be this year. I'm not just saying that because of this game either. Guzman going down is not good.

I never understand how people make these declarations like it's a sure thing. Yeah, bullpens fluctuate all the time so it COULD be bad, but it's not like it should be assumed they'll suck because of last year. Outside of the Gregg experiment the bullpen was fine last year.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cubs tied it at 6 on a Chris Robinson RBI single and Darwin Barney bases loaded walk...

 

but Berg gives up a leadoff HR in the 9th

 

7-6 DBacks

[Schwarber Fan]

Bottom of the 9th:

 

Scales hit by pitch

Hoffpauir single, pitch run for by Fuld

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Snyder with a GW 2 run double!

 

CUBS WIN! :D

[MWV]

Walkoff (ST) wins are sweet.

[Ihatepujols]

Walkofff double by Snyder!!!!!!!!!1 GO CUBS GO!!!!! GO CUBS GO!!!! Hey Chicago whatya say the Cubs are gonna win today!!!!

[C.C.]

That was actually a really fun game

[Little Slide Rooter]

Tyler Colvin is already starting to get me a bit excited despite the fact that its highly doubtful that he starts the season with the big league club with Fuld, Tracy and Hoffpauir lined up in front of him.

[C.C.]

I think we got a decent shot at 1st place this Spring.

[ctcf]

Keep it up, Tyler.

Millar's beard is awkward.

Yeah, he seems to be in great shape and playing well. I think a year in Iowa with some possible time on the Chicago bench followed by an '11 on the bench is his best case scenario. He could start if 2 of Soriano/Fukudome/Nady are hurt or if Byrd goes down. Other than that, he could be the starter in '12 after Fukudome's contract runs if everything works out for him. It's nice to have a little bit of depth.

[Sammy Sofa]

Colvin is going to have hit out of his mind to actually be a starter. I'm not rooting against the guy, but the odds of him being an MLB starting OFer with his inability to take a walk aren't very promising. It's more likely that if Colvin is starting in the OF for the Cubs on a regular basis then the Cubs are in a bad, bad way. I'd be very surprised if he has a ceiling beyond 4th OFer (which still could be very useful).

Saying that Colvin has an inability to draw a walk is a bit misleading, though. He has periodically shown patience in the minors. He's just never shown patience and hit well at the same time.

Hey, if you can't do it and hit you're still basically screwed.
