Bats are heating up but the pitching is still struggling

3/22/2007 6:05 AM

Derrek Lee went 2 for 4 the other day with an RBI single and a 2 run double. Jacque Jones hit a two run home run to tie the game. Daryle Ward hit a 2 out RBI single and also hit a grand slam in the ninth to give the Cubs the win.

Mark Prior will make a return to the Cactus League to see if he can make the roster. He was sent down to the Minor Leagues to work on his mechanics. Hopefully all the pieces will start fitting together. Zambrano, Lilly, Miller, Marque and Hill seem to be ready but they all need to get some more innings in. The bullpen is looking good except for a few kinks. If the pitching starts making the turn for the right direction the Cubs should get off to a good start this season.
