 Friday, Mar 2 A rundown of the Cubs' starting rotation, in order of their order … No. 1: Jon Lester is a dinosaur, and he's cool with it. No. 2: Kyle Hendricks is trying to throw less (in between starts, that is). No. 3: Yu Darvish didn't eat on Wednesday. No. 4: Jose Quintana wants to "get as many wins as I can." And No. 5: Tyler Chatwood is totally a real person. In the bullpen, it's all mental for the young ones. And over in the far away bullpen known as no man's land, Jake Arrieta is still waiting. Maybe he can take a pilates class with the newly svelte Kyle Schwarber? |

| Fred Hoiberg wants the Bulls to push it (push it real good) en route to finishing in the top 5 in pace over the final 25 games. Let's see how they fare vs. the Mavericks (7 p.m., WGN). And now, some very important soup news. |

| The Hawks haven't won a playoff series since the '15 Stanley Cup Final. They haven't won a trade in forever. Last night, they lost their 7th straight road game after allowing 7 straight goals. Not acceptable, says David Haugh. |
