Must I say I told you so?
Thursday, Tyler Colvin, 24, made his first start of the 2010 season at Turner Field for the Cubs after slow starts from Alfonso Soriano, Kosuke Fukudome, and the entire Chicago offense for that matter.
Colvin faced numerous skeptics after demolishing opponents in spring training—the outfielder hit .468 while slugging .753 and driving in 18 RBI’s in 77 plate appearances—but few of those doubters still remain.
In his first at bat, Colvin belted a deep home run to right field off Atlanta right-hander Tommy Hanson in the top of the second inning.
Colvin finished the game 1-3, with ...
On a night when three of the worst teams in baseball kept their respective powerhouse opponents at bay -the Pirates played the Dodgers, the Reds faced the Cardinals and the Nationals battled the Phillies– even the Chicago Cubs saw a glimpse of offense as they led the Atlanta Braves, just as the apocalypse seemed to be setting in on Wednesday night.
Unfortunately, the stars couldn’t quite align. Chicago once again played too much like the Cubs and fell to the Braves after an eighth inning homerun by Chipper Jones, while only the Pirates, Indians and Blue Jays were able to edge ...
On Monday, the Chicago Cubs will open up their highly anticipated season against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field, while thousands of the Wrigley faithful pray that this is the year. And we're ready.
Though both are often overlooked in post-season predictions, Braves fans and Cubs fans alike may see the beginning of a heated wild card race.
Each club has a very daunting task ahead of them in 2010, with two of the most competitive divisions in Major League Baseball.

In the last 10 years, Cubs fans have seen their share of disappointing seasons, bad trades, over-hyped prospects, and greedy super stars.
No other franchise in the entire MLB has experienced more disappointment then Chicago, and here is a tribute to the best players that graciously took the blame.
One-hundred-and-two years of painful seasons have made the Wrigley faithful the most loyal and passionate fans in all of sports, though times may seem tough.
Though thousands of players have set foot into the hallowed walls of Wrigley Field, these athletes have proven to be the best since the Y2K. Begin ...
The MLB off season is a time in which fans and scouts alike fantasize over newly acquired prospects, and the playoff impact they may have in the future.
Clearly, every neighborhood lemonade stand and their mothers have heard of the glorified right hander Stephen Strasburg, as well as Atlanta's Jason Heyward, both of which have been deemed "franchise saviors" by their respective clubs; but what about the guys that have floated under the radar in one of the most respected farm systems in the entire league?
For the Chicago Cubs, bright young talent can be seen everywhere throughout the franchise; whether ...
For centuries in the United States, a certain groundhog has been granted the power of determining the birth of the spring season and the fate of the waning months ahead.
However, fortunately for Hawks and Cubs fans alike, the Cactus League home opener has proven this devilish rodent wrong and introduced spring fever like no other can.
Seven former Hawks competed for a roster position against the Athletics Thursday, though Tyler Colvin (2006) made the most noise in route to a six-run win over Oakland.
In front of an eager crowd at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona, Colvin went 3-for-3 by way of ...
Over the last 23 years, Memorial Stadium (Chicago Cubs short-season class A) has seen its share of championship teams and losing teams, superstars and washouts.
In 2010, however, one Boise Hawks prospect may have the potential to be one of the best outfielders to suit up in the coveted green and orange, or even red and blue for that matter.
As the 31st pick in the first round of the 2009 MLB draft, center fielder Brett Jackson may join the ranks of Cubs prospects to make their first stop in Boise.
Jackson, who played three years for the California Golden Bears, could add ...
