Today's game features Garza (1-0, 9.00) going against recently de-guilded Ted Lilly, who is looking to bounce back from a first outing that yielded a 22.50 ERA. Technically speaking, throwing a baseball forward, and having it arrive vaguely in the vicinity of home plate, would constitute a bounce back for Lilly.
This one is slated to be on the telly, so here's hoping we'll get a good chance to see how the lads are shaping up.
UPDATE: Thanks for representin' (last night, I presume) at Camel Back Ranch, Dusty Baker's Toothpick!

Lilly getting loose, chumming it up with his ex-cubbies. They all seem to love him
He's already in their head, isn't he, DBT? Saying "I'll throw a soft curve every other pitch, so look for it and take it on out of here."
On the sofa, Charley!
Too bad we couldn't have dueling Of Jesuses today.
Urine hustling? He must wanna get quick 3 outs to get outta the sun
I noted that semi-"hustle" too, DBT. Still processing it, though I believe you're likely right that it was born of laziness.
I was hoping hed tear a hammy and be done for the year. Damn!
@DBT
We're counting on you to storm the field and cause injury to Urine. You're our only hope!
Ellis may be even more of a LHWG than I thought. The hitting part, not the white part.
Like Sands through the hourglass, Sands drops one into shallow right-center for a base hit. Glad to see him the same way I'm not glad to see Urine, who is now up to "bat."
Leadoff single in the second...
Garza hits Urine so now we have two runners. Or, we have one runner and the other guy on base is Urine.
Urine gets plunked!
You owe me two "DAMMIT!"s Sax.
Trent hits a blooper to load the bases.
Rancho ardiendo!
Up to T Fed to bring these boys home.
One run in!
I don't know anyting about this Angle kid. What's his angle? Glad he's not an Angel.
4-0! I went to get a beer, and all of the sudden we're up big early and Garza is knocked the fuck out. There must be some causality.
Rizzo will lead off for Cubs as we go to the top of the third. No sighting of any other Pink Ladies.
Rizzo is on. Oh, bite the the weenie, Riz!
4-0!
That's three DAMMITs you now owe me, Sax.
Uribe with a horrible K.
He is going to suck donkey balls this year. Again.
@Dusty: I'm saving my Dammits for Urine at bats this year
Don't leave me hanging, Sax.
LOL DeWitt
Joyce did look a bit silly, didn't he?
Got something going here in the bot 4th. Two men on with one out. Angle up.
Coffey is...venti-sized.
Stoopid Flanders in on now.
Coffey is brewin'!
Rob Reiner in the broadcast booth with Flanders.
Top of 6th. Dodgers up 5-0. MacDougal is the 4th Dodger pitcher to take the mound.
Nice update on the thread, Dusty! Great picture
It took me forever to figure out that was 3 in the top image. I thought it was a honked up 7.
I was hoping you'd have to spend some time with that, Nomo.
5-0 Blue as we go into the 9th.
Wait, Cubs are actually wearing blue today, not us. You know what I meant.
And that's your ball game. 5 wins for our boys now, atop the Cactus League.
Good to see Guerrier is in midseason form
Lakers beat the Celtics. Just saying.
@Spank
I gotta say it was a good day.
And MB will be representing us today at Tempe. Dodgers versus Angels. Will DB's Toothpick be there as well?
