This special edition post is brought to you by Huggies, designed with you and your happy baby in mind.As Angry reported it was another successful weekend of Spring Training with the Cubbies. One of highlights was the amount of networking COI was able to do, meeting up with the Heckler crew from Chicago including COI Cubs Cutie, Sarah Spain from No Spain, No Gain. After the game, Lazy and I traveled up to the press box to chat for a brief moments with Tim Sheridan, Hohokam P.A. Announcer and author of Boys of Spring.
In Cubs news, kids are being featured prominently.
The Lilly family welcomed Theodore Roosevelt Lilly IV on Sunday. Despite what is going to be many sleepless nights for the new father, Lilly is still ahead of schedule. I caught him and Rothschild going over his motion before the game Saturday at one of the Hohokam practice fields. I'm no scout, but he was pitching off the mound and didn't seem to have any discomfort. Reports are putting Lilly briefly into a Cactus League game, with a only a couple rehab starts in the minors before he is able to join the team in real, live action come April.
It looks like Lou is going to the kid a chance, as The Riot was named leadoff starting this spring. All jokes aside, Ryan has been hitting great this Spring Training, let's just hope it carries over to when the Cubs head into the regular season and he tries a little less on putting himself on second, as Theriot was only 70% in steals last season.
Finally, our headlining story is that the Cubs bus broke down on the way to Tucson on Sunday. Fortunately for Zambrano and Koyie, Z's cousin was following behind and gave the two a lift so Z could warm up. The team arrived an hour and half later.
Well, that's it for now kiddies, now who a wants an ice cold Capri Sun/Vodka jello shot?
Go Cubs!
