Schierholtz keeps the teaser rally going.  BTW Washington . . . you had Jeff Baker in LF?

Schierholtz knocks in two with a bloop double.  Tying run on second.  Come on, Castillo.

Also, Sveum should not have given the 8th inning away by letting Alberto Gonzalez hit for himself.

Have to figure Nathan will be pitching very carefully to Castillo.

Castillo takes a hittable pitch 1-1.  And he's hit on 1-2.

Barney with a chance to be a hero in his season debut.

Well hopefully is Barney still feeling a little bit of that hot streak he had while he was rehabbing in Iowa.

Prediction: Barney puts one in the gap, ties the game, Castillo thrown out at home, and then the Cubs lose in 10.

Valiant effort by Barney in that at bat.  Certainly deserved a lot better.

If only Sveum had gone to Russell instead of Camp.

Really excellent at bat by Barney.  Didn't chase questionable strikes, fought off a couple of tough pitches, and would have tied the game but a great catch by the CF.  Too bad.

Sveum seems to get the most out of his players, but he isn't always the greatest in game tactician.

At least we're playing close, tense games.  This team could be getting blown out 10-0 every night.
