A Sign of Things to Come

Following today's 8-6 loss the Cubs moved to 1-3 in the Cactus League. Oh well, it's only March second.

Today the Cubs faced Matt Cain. The Cubs lineup included Ryan Theriot, Kosuke Fukudome, Matt Murton, Ryan Theriot, Derrek Lee and Geovany Soto. They combined to go 4 for 15 with 3 walks. Felix Pie hit his second home run of the spring - more importantly Pie took his second walk. Neal Cotts got thrashed but he's Neal Cotts. Lilly allowed a run in a couple innings of work. Marmol closed out the game. I've got to think he's got the leg up on the closer role since he's coming in the game in the 9th in Spring Training. I don't really understand why considering by then the only players in the game will be in AA during the season.
