Carlos “El Torro” Zambrano takes the mound against the Giants today as the Cubs look to extend their undefeated spring season.
The batting order is going to look a little something like this, at least to start the game…
LF - Alfonso Soriano (spring debut)
SS - Ryan Theriot
RF - Kosuke Fukudome
1B - Derrek Lee
2B - Mike Fontenot
CF - Felix Pie
3B - Alex Cintron
C - Henry Blanco
SP - Carlos Zambrano
What to watch for: It should be good to see how Pie plays today and specifically if he can keep hitting like he did yesterday. Also, I know its early, but Mike Fontenot sure does look like he wants to make the team out of ST.
Sounds like a winner to me… Feel free to post any/all comments regarding the game in the comments section, and I think I’ll post my game recap in the comments as well.

Although the regular season has yet to start, there’s plenty to recall about the month of February.
100 Years - Ok, lets just get this one out of the way. Yes, this year marks the 100 year anniversary of the last time the Cubs won a World Series. Not much of an anniversary and Lou Piniella has made it clear that it’s nothing to indulge over.
Ryan Dempster made the honors of making a statement that the Cubs will end its 100-year championship drought. Although a lessoned learned by Carlos Zambrano from the previous year, some may think that Dempster just jinxed the Cubs realistic chances of making it that far. Forget the curse of the Billy Goat, it has become the era for the curse of Bold Predictions.

OK, so its just the first spring game, but the Cubs sure did look good.
A couple different position players had a great game for the Cubs and the pitching wasn’t too shabby either.
Read more to see who did well, who played horrible, and who gets the CubsHub ‘player of the game’ award.

Batting Order:

Evan Grant, of The Dallas Morning News recently did a Q & A in regards to a bunch of things that have little to do with the Cubs, minus the one snippet below in which he discusses trade possibilities with the Cubs.
The quotation, as well as my two cents, can be found in the ‘read more’ section as well as some other Cubs related news and notes.
