I am so excited to finally watch a Chicago Cubs game in Spring Training. So, I am gonna do my best to do up-to-the-minute highlgihts.

9:06 p.m.: Getting ready to start. White Sox John Danks is the starting pitcher. So Taguchi plaays right field for the Cubbies. Derrek Lee is off, Micah Houffpauir is at first. Seems sold out, which I think it is. Groovy.

9:08 p.m.: First Pitch!!

9:08 p.m.: And just like that, Soriano hit it high but straight to Jermaine Dye. But good swing, could have been a homer.

9:15 p.m.: End of the top 1st. Two on and we can't do anything. Jeff Samardzija is gonna face the Sox in the bottom.

9:18 p.m.: So good to hear Len Kasper and Bob Brenly voices again!
