The sweetest words of spring...
Play ball!
The Cubs' exhibition season started today with a come from behind victory over the Oakland A's. Youngters Ronny Cedeno and Matt Murton, two crucial components of the upcoming year, played well. Felix Pie, the best prospect in the Cubs' system also drove in a couple of runs. And every Cubs pitcher except one pitched a shutout. Bad news for that one (Brian Corey), though. Seven runs and no outs gets you a quick ticket out of Arizona.
Cubs are undefeated, and there's only 200 more games (or so) to go.
