Other Notes going into the first game:
- Carlos Zambrano will make his Spring debut on Monday.
- Lou says, "We'll get a chance to see our young pitchers a lot.
- Nomar Garciapara will not return to the Cubs. He will either play for the Phillies or A's, or retire.
- Ryan Dempster's neck is fine, he will start next Tuesday. He threw 50 pitches on Monday and Tuesday and all was well according to Carrie Muskat.
I'll have recap of the game later on tonight.
"I don't care who wins as a long as it's the Cubs!"
