Sweet Lou ready to kick back

Apparently, when it comes to his lineup, this is what Lou Piniella will have to do all through spring training.

The second-year Chicago Cubs skipper already has put together his lineup for the season, so there's nothing left to do but kick back and enjoy some Arizona sun.

Seriously, in mid-January, Chicago's lineup is set. Piniella announced it Sunday and, yes, former LSU star Ryan Theriot is in it. Theriot will hit second, behind Alfonso Soriano, and play shortstop for the Cubbies.

Now that the lineup is out of the way, it's on to that pesky bullpen problem.
