SCOTTSDALE, Arizona -- Today is the final day of Cactus League play. For those of us who have been here in Arizona for a while, it will be "weather shock" to return to the chilly Midwest tonight.
In the meantime, one more day in the sunshine before I fly home tonight. Today's game starts an hour earlier than usual so that the ballclubs can break camp, and the Cubs head to Las Vegas tonight for their two-game series vs. the Mariners this weekend.
For those of us (most of us, I'd say) who grew up with the Cubs and WGN, here's a little bit of the history of WGN and the Cubs and an announcement that there will be a two-hour special called "Cubs Forever: Celebrating 60 Years of WGN TV and the Cubs", at 6 pm CT on April 20.
Kerry Wood doesn't want any special "entrance song" when he comes in to close games:
"I don't think Wrigley is that type of ballpark," Wood said. "That's more of a generational thing for closers— Trevor Hoffman started it with 'Hells Bells,' and [Mariano] Rivera and Billy Wagner and so on and so on.
"Fans are so loud at Wrigley Field in the ninth inning I don't think you'd be able to hear any noise on that sound system anyway. I've never really thought about what song I'd use."
To which I say: good for him. Based on what I've heard for him coming in during ST games, it'll be really loud. Cheering.
The other day when I posted spring training attendance figures, I inadvertently left out one game. The correct figures are: in 14 dates, the Cubs have drawn 168,498, an average of 12,035. They'd need to draw almost 13,400 -- physically impossible -- to break the record average of 12,125 set in 2004. So that won't happen, but they're expecting another sellout today.
Both teams have announced that "minor leaguers" will do most of the pitching today, but who knows exactly what that means. It would normally be Ted Lilly's turn, but he's being held back till tomorrow to keep him on a "normal" four days' rest for his first regular season start next Wednesday. (I think, just as Lou didn't want Z to face the Brewers earlier in the spring, he probably didn't want Lilly to face them twice in six days, either.) The Brewers don't have an announced starter, either.
Today's game is on WGN-TV, and on MLB.com radio and MLB.TV via the MLB.com Mediacenter.
MLB.com Gameday (2007 version)
MLB.com Gameday (2008 version)
Discuss amongst yourselves.

Speaking of Lilly...
I think he's been talked about the least out of all the pitchers this spring.
I find that his stats don't really tell me much other than he hasn't given up a lot of walks (4) and HR (2).
He has started 4 games, and has an ERA of 6.00. Did he just get blown up in one outing? Has anyone seen him pitch more than once? How does he look overall? How has he looked his last couple outings?

Woody is so Cubs...
I love his remarks about the song. These are the reasons I always wanted him separated from Prior when they were struggling "together".
Woody is not concerned with anything but doing his job and enjoying it. Well he loves to win too but I just admire the way he has handled himself throughout the past four seasons. It is refreshing to watch guys mature as ballplayers and as people.
Damn Nutrisystem...I'm freakin dyin for some Italian beef!

He just "gets" it
About being a Cub and playing @ Wrigley Field. I hope he can resurrect his career and stay with the Cubs for along time.

Exaclty.
It's hard not to root for a guy who "gets" what it is to be a Cub and play here in Chicago. He doesn't take it for granted and has worked tremendously hard to come back.
It would be truly something if he came back and had a good year as a closer in '08.

Here, Here
It is awfully refreshing to see an athlete who is about more than the money. Too many of these players are about the money and that's it. Case and point is Johny (sp?) Damen who said, during his free agent year, he would never play for the Yankees. Look who he is playing for now. I think that if someone were to ask me who exemplifies what it means to be a Cub the most, I would tell them Kerry Wood. Here's to hoping he goes out there and proves all the nay sayers, especially including That-Writer-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named.

Playing Field
Just wanted to give a quick update on the playing surface at Wrigley. They had the door open in RF on my walk to the L this morning and I stopped to take a look in.
They've removed the "wedding banquet tents" sometime yesterday that were covering the infield. The grounds crew was working on the infield this morning.
The OF grass looks surprisingly good. Not lavishly green, but after being under more than a couple inches of snow as recently as this weekend, it looks pretty good.
The grounds crew has done a terrific job all winter long. This, coupled with the resurfacing project, should have Wrigley in tip-top playing shape this year.
We are suppose to get more snow here in Chicago this weekend, and that will have an effect on Monday's game, but it appears that grounds crew is working hard to make sure there is a safe, playable surface.

Great call Wood
I dont like the enterance songs. I also dont like teams shooting off fireworks when a player hits a solo shot when their team is down 5 runs. I dont like circus pinwheels or jumbotrons bigger than the parking lot. I dont like the hotdogs stands and bathrooms and everything else sponsored. I don't like UnderArmour logos.

so you don't like
Comiscular Field, period. And you also don't like the UA signage @ Wrigley. Would you like to pay an extra $10 per ticket to make up for the revenue lost by taking down the UA logo? It's not that serious. It's not like they're mowing the whole outfield grass in a logo or anything.
I dislike the south side park for all those reasons you listed as well. It's a chick park. They get to "watch things on tv".

You'll love this Sue369
I had a dream last night I was at a Cubs game. Not at Wrigley but it was a home crowd. Someone yells "Zambrano is signing autographs." So I went over and passed my hat through the fence to him. He signed it and passed it to another player. After 8 or so players signed the hat someone threw it back over the fence. I picked it up and all the players had signed the inside of the hat. The one sig that stood out said this.

Interesting...
... that they have added a DH. On the pre-game show with Santo and Piniella, Lou mentioned that they approached Milwaukee with the intent to (1) say that they are only going with minor league pitchers (as to not give them a sneak peak), with the exception of Marshall, and (2) to give more at bats for regulars (thus the DH).

I realize the NCAAs were going on, but was very surprised that they didn't have the Cubs game on at least one TV. Hopefully it'll be a little less crowded today.

Unless it's a "national blackout" game on ESPN/FOX...which is every single yankees and red sox game I think. Or if you live within an ICBM's range of a major league ballpark. Or your house/apt # is divisible by the square root of the result of the sum of the two teams' uniforms #'s on the 40 man roster. Other than that, yeah, you'll get the game on mlb.tv

it says channel not available, so maybe we don't get it because it's not "local." I'm right in between Chicago and Indy, so I'm not sure. I was just curious because the spring training games on comcast were broadcast on both, though on the HD station, it was a 16 x 9 SD broadcast. It still looked nice though.

No
It was a couple feet on the home side and low, but Aramis just kind of stabbed at it and bounced of his glove and into the stands. Not a good throw at all, but in a game that mattered I think Aramis would have stopped the ball from getting away. Or at least made more of an effort.

Did You Guys Hear How Fonty Was Told He Made The Club?

He Was In The Batting Cages...
... and Piniella went up to him and asked him if he had a place to stay in Chicago.
Fonty said, "No".
Piniella told him that it would be a good idea if he found one, because he made the team.
Fonty was estatic!
