By neil@chicagocubsonline.com (Chicago Cubs Online) The Cubs announced their 2010 Spring Training schedule on Wednesday ... so start up the countdown clock. Cactus League action begins for the Cubs on March 4 at HoHoKam Park against the Oakland A's. The Cubs will face the White Sox during the first weekend of games. Single-game tickets go on sale J...

The Chicago Cubs announced their 35-game Spring Training schedule for the 2010 season. The club will play 15 home games at HoHoKam Park, 18 road games in Arizona (including a pair of games at Chase Field to close the exhibition schedule) and two games in Las Vegas against the Chicago White S...

By Al Individual game tickets for the 2010 Chicago Cubs home spring training games at HoHoKam Park will go on sale Tuesday, January 5 at 10 a.m. CST on www.cubs.com or by calling 1-800-905-3315. The ticket box office at HoHoKam Park will open for the sale of individual game tickets beginning on Janua...

By Carrie Muskat The Cubs will play their crosstown rivals, the Chicago White Sox, five times in Spring Training, according to the 2010 schedule released on Wednesday. Cubs release spring slate

By Al Not so fast, Mr. Councilman. Keep in mind that until 1998, only eight of the then-28 teams trained in Arizona. So just on sheer numbers -- you're a numbers guy, right? -- 71% of World Series winners should have come from Florida training camps. And it's true that not until after 1998, when there w...

By Kurt Of course, this might have never happened had Heilman been awarded the 5th starting gig back in the spring of '09.  Based on his Spring Training numbers, he undeniably earned a shot, but Lou played the loyalty card and tapped Sean Marshall instead.  And much as Ryan Dempster was a mediocre cl...

By Josh77 Just some few basic information to start.  The Arizona Fall League is a post-season league for minor leaguers. mostly from AA and AAA teams.  The six teams play in the Spring Training complexes in the Cactus League.  The Cub prospects are on the Mesa Solar Sox, a team that  is also stocked with p...

By Al Compare that to this map of the Florida spring training sites (from the same ticket broker site). The group trying to lure the Cubs to Florida would place them in Collier County -- that's where Naples is. The closest spring training park to Naples is the Red Sox' City of Palms Park in Ft. Myers --...

By Al One thing is for certain, we're told by insiders: there's very little chance of the Cubs moving to Florida, no matter how bad Naples officials covet the team. And give the Cubs some credit: they're not out (yet, anyway) playing cities against cities for the best spring-training deal. This i...

By Kurt That vacancy, the leadoff man, is still with us to this day.  But Jim's attempt to bring the Mad Dog in to finish a five-man rotation already boasting Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Carlos Zambrano and Matt Clement, came to fruition right before Spring Training 2004.  I have to admit, I loved it!  Ev...

By Kurt Spring Training Review Aaron Heilman - 10 IP, 1.80 ERA, 13 SO, 3 BB.  Ignoring the ERA, Heilman's been pitching with authority and leads the Cubs in Spring Training strikeouts.  At this point, I'd honestly not be even the slightest bit upset if he got the job.

By Kurt The baseball season remains just under a month away.  There are plenty of opportunities for surprise players to surge to the forefront.  There are even more opportunities for heavy favorites to evaporate in a cloud of injury and suck.  But at this moment, on the Chicago Cubs, the following h...

By thisyearcub After dropping a heartbreaker (not really) in the ninth last night, the Chicago crosstown rivals are back at it again in Vegas and its tiny ballpark. And for the second straight day, it's on WGN. Hooray for televised spring training baseball!  

By brosage@mvn.com (Joe Aiello and Brandon Rosage) Last year, the NL Central looked to be one of the most competitive divisions in baseball.  Analysts and fans alike could've made arguments for the Cubs, Cardinals, Brewers, and even the Astros to be potentially playoff bound.  Then, Chicago pretty much blew the rest out of the water, clinc...

By Byron Anyhow, I digress. Wood won the closer's job out of Spring Training and 65% of Cubdom assumed he would do a great job as closer. That's been the eternal dividends of those wonderful May 1998 starts. Kerry Wood has been the hope of this franchise for 11 years. The Franchise turned to him for game 3 o...

By Cubnut I'm not surprised that we're reading Cubs Spring Training stories about how good Kerry Wood looks or how Alfonso Soriano is ready to bounce back from that nasty quadriceps injury or how Lou Piniella is feeling pretty doggone good about his ballclub.

By Cubnut – Cubs pitchers and catchers report for duty in Mesa on Wednesday. When they arrive, they'll find new security measures around the team's spring training complex. Interesting to read mention of the Cubs pursuing Brian Roberts. Strange--I really hadn't heard anything else about that.

By Carrie Muskat The Cubs released their Spring Training schedule Monday, and highlights include road and home contests with the Chicago White Sox on March 15 in Tucson and March 22 in Mesa. Cubs release Spring schedule

By Carrie Muskat Carlos Zambrano kicked the mound when Cubs manager Lou Piniella came out in the sixth inning on Sunday to pull him from the game. Yes, it's only Spring Training, but Zambrano wanted to go the distance. Zambrano optimistic about contract

By Carrie Muskat Cubs fans will get their first look at new manager Lou Piniella and his squad in Cactus League play, starting March 1. The Cubs released the 2007 Spring Training schedule, which features 32 games for the Cactus League season. The schedule includes two games against their intracity rivals,...
