I know there should be no reason to be worried yet... but Soriano leading off...?

[Sammy Sofa]

Because he wants some vets to get as more AB's before pulling them from the game.

 

in other words: IT'S SPRING [expletive] TRAINING.

As long as Castro hits in the 1st inning, you can put the rest of the hitters in pretty much any order and it's not going to be much difference.

I think we're missing the important point here.

 

BASEBALL IS BACK!!!!

I'm not really sure. It would be a podcast though, not video. At this point, I'm guessing a link will show up.

 

 

 

Opening day: Sunday's Cactus League opener against the A's at HoHoKam Park can be heard on a podcast with broadcasters Len Kasper and Mick Gillispie at 2 p.m. on cubs.com. The lineup will be: Alfonso Soriano, LF; Ian Stewart, 3B; Starlin Castro, SS; Bryan LaHair, 1B; Marlon Byrd, CF; David DeJesus, RF; Jeff Baker, DH; Darwin Barney, 2B; Welington Castillo, C. Rodrigo Lopez will start for the Cubs.

Good for Mick, getting to call games with Len Kasper.

Just click on the listen link on the Cubs homepage.

 

You only need an MLB.com account. It's free to listen to today's game.

That beer man in the background is really funny.

[TruffleShuffle]

julio teheran (probably top pitching prospect in baseball after matt moore and, if you consider him a prospect, yu darvish) gave up 6 home runs in 2 innings today. ouch.

[TruffleShuffle]

dammit, awful outing from beliveau.

[ctcf]

Cardenas trying his damndest to make a good impression.

[TruffleShuffle]

josh donaldson is a 3b now?

[TruffleShuffle]

Cardenas trying his damndest to make a good impression.

 

i have found (from following along on gameday) that he is a lot whiter than i had imagined.

That's a good enough impression for me.

Beliveau and Rhee got rocked.

[TruffleShuffle]

probably more accurate to say that rhee got rocked and beliveau couldn't throw the ball over the plate.

[JonJayCutler]

Meh. Wake me in 2013.

[Schwarber Fan]

is something up with Soto?

[Guest]

He's got a minor groin injury, there was a tweet this morning that he's expected to play by the weekend.
