Today the Chicago Cubs welcome the Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim (California (Earth (Milky Way)))) to Hohokam Park as Spring Training winds down. Paul Maholm gets the start for the Cubs, his final regular Spring outing before the season starts.
And, yes, Albert Pujols is in the lineup for the Angels. Hit four homers today, Albert, because I don’t much care what you do anymore.
The game is at 3:05 CT and will be broadcast on CSN, MLB Network, MLB.tv, and WGN radio. The game thread lives here at the Message Board.

1. David DeJesus, RF
2. Darwin Barney, SS

4. Jeff Baker, 2B
5. Bryan LaHair, 1B
