Joe Maddon’s team gets back to work tonight after spending the day off back in Arizona. The Cubs open a four-game series Thursday (8:40pm CDT) against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. John Lackey is set to make his Cubs debut in the third game of the season. Four more games until the home opener on Monday against the Reds. Wrigley Field is almost ready for Opening Night, the marquee returned Wednesday and the changes to the old ballyard look great.
Anthony Rizzo, the Cubs’ All-Star first baseman, now has his own cereal … RizzO’s.
