Cubs set spring schedule

Even if you're not a Cubs fan, you have to appreciate that the team released its 2010 spring training schedule on a cold, dreary day in the middle of November.

The Cubs' 35-game spring training schedule will start March 4 in Mesa, Ariz. The schedule includes 15 home games at HoHoKam Park in Mesa, 18 road games in Arizona, and two games in Las Vegas against the White Sox.

Individual game tickets for the Cubs' spring training games in Messa will go on sale at 10 a.m. CST at the team's official site, www.cubs.com, or by calling (800) 905-3315. Fans who have questions about the team's spring training schedule may e-mail info2010@mesahohokams.com, visit www.cubs.com, or call the HoHoKam Park information line at (480) 644-4451.
