|
| | | CHICAGO CUBS: CHICAGO (AP) - Wrigley Field is decked out for the party of a century.
As for the Chicago Cubs?
It looks like there won't be much to celebrate this season other than their ballpark's 100th anniversary. As Wrigley hits a milestone, the Cubs remain in a rebuilding mode, hoping to avoid their fifth straight losing season.
They have a new manager in Rick Renteria. Their outlook looks about the same, though.
It's all about the future, the prized prospects in the system, no matter how painful that might be to the players in uniform at the major league level. More lumps appear to be in store for the Cubs as they enter their third year with Theo Epstein as president of baseball operations.
''The objective is to win as many games as possible, be the last man standing and bring a championship to the city of Chicago,'' pitcher Edwin Jackson said. ''The motivation is still the same. The message is still the same. We want to go out and win. We don't want to go out and be a pushover.''
| | ST LOUIS: ST. LOUIS (AP) - Last October, the St. Louis Cardinals were sufficiently flush with arms that they carried rookie Shelby Miller and deposed closer Edward Mujica in ceremonial roles and made it to Game 6 of the World Series against Boston.
After leading major league rookies with 15 wins, Miller was limited to one postseason inning due to concerns about a heavy workload. Mujica was used only in mop-up duty after mid-September.
The National League champions are perhaps even deeper, across the board, entering opening day March 31 at Cincinnati. The team that tied for the major league high with 97 wins has a surplus of viable candidates.
''I think we have the potential to be great,'' said ace Adam Wainwright, who won 19 games and finished second in NL Cy Young balloting. ''We just have to go out there, not listen to the hype, and perform.''
The 32-year-old Wainwright qualifies as the grizzled leader of a rotation that could include three members coming off big rookie debuts. Michael Wacha was a postseason sensation and the NLCS MVP, Miller went wire-to-wire as the fifth starter and Carlos Martinez, who's had an impressive spring, moved into the setup role when fellow rookie Trevor Rosenthal took over as closer.
Wacha and Martinez are 22, Miller and Rosenthal just 23.
There's also 15-game winner Lance Lynn, who struck out 10 in four innings of his last spring training start, and lefty Jaime Garcia could fit into the mix sometime in April coming off shoulder surgery. And don't forget Joe Kelly, another rookie who won 10 games and was the rotation's strongest starter much of the second half.
And one of the National League's best lineups, too.
Much is expected from a loyal fan base that extends several states, and that's OK.
''Our expectations,'' Lynn said, ''are higher than theirs.''

*Cubs-Cardinals Preview* ========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Chicago (59-74) at St. Louis (71-61), 2:15 p.m. EDT
After failing to stifle one of the Chicago Cubs' top prospects, the St. Louis Cardinals are on the verge of matching their longest losing streak this season.
The Cardinals will seek to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat in Saturday's opener to a doubleheader, and Justin Masterson will try to shake off another lackluster outing while attempting to contain promising rookie Jorge Soler.
The Cubs (60-74) earned their eighth win in 12 games in Friday's series opener as Soler hit a pair of home runs. The outfielder, who also singled in the 7-2 victory, is 7 for 11 with three homers and six RBIs in his first three major league games.
"I feel so happy," Soler said through an interpreter. "I don't know how to explain it. Everything is going so good right now."
Another one of Chicago's top prospects, Javier Baez, hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the eighth. Baez also hit three home runs in his first three MLB games Aug. 5-7.
The Cardinals (71-62) will try to bounce back from their third loss in 13 home games by avoiding their second four-game skid this season - the other occurred from July 20-25.
St. Louis will also attempt to extend its one-game lead over Atlanta in the NL wild-card race and cut its two-game deficit to Milwaukee in the NL Central during this doubleheader.
Masterson (2-2, 7.43 ERA) will try to help while perhaps aiding his chances of remaining in the rotation. The right-hander has hardly given the Cardinals what they were expecting when they acquired him from Cleveland on July 30 and he was pulled after giving up five runs in three innings in a 7-1 loss in Philadelphia on Sunday.
He's given up four or more runs in four of his five starts for St. Louis and pitched five innings or fewer in three of those.
"It's frustrating but I'm trying to stay positive," Masterson said. "It's my responsibility to pitch better. It's a hard thing when you're not doing it."
Masterson will make his first start against the Cubs and pitching opposite Felix Doubront, who will make his NL debut. The left-hander was placed on the disabled list (strained right calf) on Aug. 1, two days after Chicago acquired him from Boston.
Doubront was 2-4 with a 5.19 ERA in 10 starts this season for the Red Sox, the most recent June 20. He'll make his first start against the Cardinals but earned the win in relief in Game 4 in last year's World Series.
Red-hot Tsuyoshi Wada (4-1, 2.56) will head to the mound for the Cubs in Game 2 after taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Baltimore. The rookie left-hander is 4-0 with a 1.96 ERA in his last six starts and will make his first against St. Louis.
The Cardinals are expected to call up Marco Gonzales (0-2, 7.07) from Triple-A Memphis for that game. The rookie left-hander made three starts - none against the Cubs - from June 25-July 6 before being sent back to the minors.
It's unknown if Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo will play in the doubleheader. Rizzo, second in the NL with 30 homers, has missed the past three games due to tightness in his lower back.
