PrintWeather permitting -- and it doesn't look very good -- we'll get a look at two of the candidates for the starting rotation today. More after the jump, but if both split-squad games are rained out, that takes away a real opportunity for many pitchers to show Lou & Co. what they've got.
Here's a good article from Yahoo's Tim Brown on Alfonso Soriano and what he means to the Cubs' success this year.
Tom Gorzelanny will start in Mesa vs. the Dodgers. He will be followed by Thomas Diamond, Jay Jackson, Brian Schlitter, Mike Parisi and Esmailin Caridad.
Jeff Samardzija will start in Glendale vs. the White Sox. He's scheduled to be followed by Mitch Atkins (although Atkins threw yesterday, so that original schedule might not be followed), J.R. Mathes, John Gaub, Jeff Stevens and Blake Parker.
Today's game vs. the White Sox is on WGN-TV with Len & Bob. It's also on WSCR with the Sox announcers. The Mesa game will have no radio or TV. Here's the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Looks like it'll be a rainout.
Check out the forecast link above. And rain is also coming to Chicago.

They never reschedule rainouts, do they?
For spring training, I mean.

Silva
We can’t write him off yet, until we find a replacement pitcher for his spot. We have plenty of possible candidates, but who will step up and claim it?

Game cancelled
The game has been canceled here in Glendale. Any makeup game from Arizona on WGN is TBA.
Any word on the other game?

Cubs/Sox rained out?
Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.
Go Pack!

Yep - he's looking pretty pleased with himself, isn't he...
And well he should – anytime you can produce something like that (even if it is mist) you should be proud.

I'm happy today....
My computer’s hard drive crashed a few weeks ago … today, after several weeks of repairs, I finally got it back.
But it’s been upgraded so much that it’s as if I have a new computer….

More time for Iowa related sports today
UNI in the MVC finals right now. The Iowa women on ESPN2 in the Big Ten Tournament final at 2:30.
Plenty of time for baseball in the coming months.
I am in the wrong place today
I am a Cubs fan who hates hockey and is from Wichita. So I hope the Cubs play, don’t care if the Hawks win, and down with Northern Iowa

I’ll post on the front page with a rainout thread.
