He beat STL on the road (7 IP, 1 ER) during his string of four wins in May. He is 1-1 with a 3.18 against them this year. The Cards are 38-111 (.319) against him. Heyward is 8-15 (.533) with a HR.

Lackey lost at home against the White Sox his last time out (7 IP, 2 ER). He is 1-0 (14.2 IP, 3 ER) versus the Cubs so far this year. Coghlan is 8-14 (.571) against him.

Hold on to your hats… and your lunch.

Go Cubs!

Wong makes the play, Bryant makes the error, they get the runners in, we don't...every damn game against these guys.

Although, this is starting to feel more like Bulls-Bad Boy Pistons than Bears-Rodgers Packers. They are literally one play away in almost every game and it feels like a breakthrough is imminent. Pistons beat up Scottie until he grew up, Cards are doing the same thing to Addison right now. They toyed with him in STL and also tonight when runners are on base. Hopefully, he can step it up. Soon.

Ejax does the impossible -- lowers his trade value, which was already zero. Well, no sense in burning a real reliever in a game the Cubs weren't going to win anyway. Although, it would have been good to force the Cards to use their closer the day before a DH. But, as with all things Cubs-Cardinals...it went the Cardinals way.

fowler back in the leadoff spot for game 1 of the doubleheader vs lefty t.lyons. soler 4th...montero hitting 7th...russell sits for herrera.

with lester's 3sb allowed last night he passed his single-season SB-allowed mark of 22 with 24 SB...in his 17th game of the season. it was his 5th 3-SB game of the season. that said, the leads runners are taking seem to be killing him more than the SB. combined, it's free bases all over the place.

Matt Garza on the 15 day DL with shoulder tendonitis. He has a history of getting injured just before the trade deadline as I recall.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
