[UMFan83]

I'll believe it when I see it. and since I'll be at work during the game and the game doesn't appear to be on TV, it's going to be awhile before I believe it.

Go Cubs Go!

Mariners and Cubs pretty much throwing out their A lineups out there today.

 

I think 7 of the 8 M's starters are in there, as well as 5 of the Cubs 8 (with 2/3, Soriano and DeRosa, hurt)

[Mushimus]

Anyone know if this game will be on XM? And if yes, what channel?

Yea, we basically are playing the best lineup we could put out there at this point )with the exception of Soto)

And theriot batting leadoff.

 

But yeah, this is one of the most 'regular' lineups we've seen thus far.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'd like to see Murton at SS for a change

Anyone know how long DeRosa is expected to be out? Obviously with that sort of thing you want to give him all the time he needs, but it'd be nice if he got all the rust off before opening day.

He should probably be back in 1-1.5 weeks

According to this article, he could be back by the middle of next week, which, I suppose, is almost the same thing.

 

They want his leg/groin (where they went in for the procedure) to heal up as much as possible before he's back in.

Does anybody know who is going to be pitching tomorrow for the game on WGN? It's going to be the first game for me this year seeing or hearing.

It looks like it will be some combo of Lieber/Marshall again tomorrow just based upon the rotation so far. I haven't heard any official word though.

[PrimeTime]

Soriano back in the lineup tommorrow already? Nice

[Cubbies2238]

I was trying to figure to figure it out that way, but with it being a SS game I wasn't sure what was going to happen. If it was supposed to be Lieber/Marshall I would assume that Lieber would get to pitch at home with him being around longer.

Boy, would that end the lives of multiple avians with a single stone or what?

[anabiono]

lilly is throwing a lot of balls to start off here

[anabiono]

awesome way to start off lilly

[tulsacubfan]

Anyone know if this game will be on XM? And if yes, what channel?

 

 

No it is not.

[justlikethecubs]

2-0 after 2 batters. not a good start

[anabiono]

ARAM BABY

 

FREAKING AWESOME TO HAVE YOU BACK!!!
