And So It Begins...

We're just a hair over a month away from Opening Day for both the Cubs and Sox, but that doesn't matter right now. The sun is out, the birds are singing, and we've got baseball on the brain. Lucky for us, it starts today with the first Spring Training games for both teams. Sure, it'll be sloppy and full of minor leaguers jockeying for position on the roster, but at this time of year, baseball is baseball. The Cubs take on the Oakland A's at 2:05 p.m. (WGN 720 AM) while the Sox will battle the Angels starting at 4:05 p.m. (670 AM). Bonus for you White Sox night owls who have the special cable package: the MLB Network will show the Sox-Angels on tape-delay tonight at 10 p.m.
