Cactus League: 2/28 Cubs (Dempster) @ Giants 2:05 CST (720)

[UMFan83]

Apologize if I'm stepping on anyone's toes. The stickied thread clearly states first come, first served for Spring games.

 

Ryan Dempster kicks the spring off for the Cubs as they take on the Giants in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona.

 

According to Cubs.com, here is the projected lineup:

 

SS Theriot

3B Cedeno

RF Fukudome

1B Lee

LF Murton

C Soto

2B Cintron

CF Pie

P Dempster

Should also be broadcast on XM179 (Giants Broadcast) and KNBR 680 in San Francisco

 

Dempster should go two innings and will be replaced by Gallagher.

 

Pat and Ron have the call on WGN 720.

 

Go Cubs!

It's so weird to see a game thread again..It's been a while

[salukifudd]

I just feel a little warmer reading the first game thread. I can't believe Cintron is getting the first start over Roberts.

[Bull]

Hallelujah!

 

Baseball is here again!

Do you know who is throwing for the Giants? I could care less who they have in their lineup, however they do have a decent rotations still.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

that's one ugly lineup

 

odds are the Giants will be even worse

Noah Lowry will start, Kevin Correia will be the first pitcher out of the pen.

It'll be 74°F and mostly sunny at game time, should warm to the upper 70s during the game.

[Laura]

yay baseball!

 

This should also be on XM179 per the schedule, I'll edit it into UM's first post.

Baseball Reference hasn't updated its rosters to the current status, so some Bat Vs. Pitch pages are messed up.
