The Chicago Cubs head to Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix to take on the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs are an even 3-3 on the Spring (remember last year when the Cubs started out the regular season 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc., all the way up to 10-10? Who would have thought that would be the high point of the season?). Ryan Dempster gets the start for the Cubs.
Today’s game is the second television broadcast of the Spring, and you can catch the game on WGN. This time, you’ll actually get Len and Bob. The game is also on WGN Radio if you prefer Pat and Zonk.
The game is at 2:05 CT, and we’ve also got a Game Thread going at the Message Board, for those of you who like to chat during the game.
