3/21/10 Colorado Rockies 11, Kansas City Royals 11

Spring Training (Cactus League)
Surprise Stadium, Surprise, AZ

COL 11 15 0
KC 11 17 3

This is the first tie game in professional baseball I have ever scored. The game was called by Hillman at the end of the 9th due to the fact that the Royals were out of pitchers.

3/19/10 Chicago Cubs 8, Chicago White Sox 4

Camelback Ranch, Glendale, AZ (Spring Training)

The Cubs strike back in Spring Training, at the Sox home digs in AZ, during a game that set a Cactus League attendance record of 13,413 (that's better attendance than many MLB regular season games in Oakland, Kansas City, Florida, etc).

CHC 8 10 1
CWS 4 9 0

I don't know why the Official Scorer gave Beckham a hit in the bottom of the 5th, Castro made the error and Beckham never would have hit safely. Not only that, but the umpires seemed to be on the take, as Carlos Quentin hits into what should have been a 3-6-3 DP but Castro is called 'too far from the bag' for the phantom tag @ 2B. Home rules, I guess. Cubs won anyway.

This game was on CSN Chicago, called by Steve Stone and Hawk Harrelson, "the annoying bros." Polite to Cubbies, but still annoying.

I can't believe how much Teahen is choking in Spring Training.

3/14/10 Chicago Cubs 8, Los Angeles Angels 7

Tempe Diablo Stadium, Tempe, AZ (Spring Training)

Exciting Spring Training action as the Cubs take on the Angels 'on their turf.' The Angels strike early in a 6-run 2nd inning that left my hero Randy Wells a bit boxed around the ears and limping back to the showers, but the lineup got support from the 'second string' late in the game, particularly from Micah Hoffpauir and top prospect 'phenom' Starlin Castro.

CHC 8 12 1
LAA 7 10 1

Castro's RBI single in the 8th won the game for the Cubs, the relief pitching staff of Marmol, Grabow, Cashner, Parker, and Diamond sealed the deal by only allowing 1 run (earned) since Wells' exit after the 3rd inning.

3/6/10 Chicago White Sox 3, Chicago Cubs 15

Ho Ho Kam Park, Mesa, AZ (Spring Training)

The first WGN-TV Cubs 2010 broadcast of the year, with Len Kasper and Bob Brenly.

Here's a look at the prospects and a Cubs lineup we probably won't see much of once the season starts. My hopes that this team would continue to show better offensive power after this game would largely prove themselves out later on, but not during this game.

CWS 15 18 0
CHC 3 6 1

It is what it is, Silva gives up 2 homers and the Cubs bats start to wake up in the 3rd inning, but go right back to sleep.

Revenge would stay on hold for this traditional 2-game spring training series as game 2 would be called on account of inclement weather. The Cubs came back a few weeks later.
