"It also means the Thursday of the All-Star break will feature one game, a nationally broadcast game ala Sunday Night Baseball. According to a schedule given the Cardinals they will play against the Cubs at Wrigley Field that day, July 19." so...the cubs/cards are going to be playing a game...during the all-star break... okay.

Well, there used to be games on the Thursday after the all-star game. I'm not horribly opposed to it as it makes a ton of sense financially to have 1 game on a day when no other sport is playing. As long as the Cubs and Cards get something in return to offset the short break. Where is that quote from?

I learned the hard way with Soriano that guys with mega-contracts don't miss too many turns in the lineup. Zobrist is the third highest-paid Cub after Heyward and Lester. After him are Lackey and Arrieta. I'm not sure why, but I don't think any of those guys can lose his starting job.

lackey is a bit sick of these early-exits. lot of strong language on that exit after 85 pitches (and giving up a homer to goldie) probably won't be a big thing, but he was a bit animated. btw, he hasn't thrown more than 100 pitches since may 16.

...annnnnnd CJ with a walk to the first hitter. Shocking. If Lackey wants to stay in longer, here's a tip: stop giving up runs in the 5th & 6th innings.

Cubs have been good at scoring runs early in Lackey's post All Star game starts - he's pitched better and made those runs hold up for the most part. Five + innings with 2-3 runs surrendered - take that in a heartbeat from Lackey.

Raisel Iglesias shooting for a two inning save against the Brewers - Reds were once up 10-2 and trying to close it out up 11-9 into the bottom of the ninth - now 11-10 after one out Villar HR ... and Reds win 11-10

Would be a good time for Justin Wilson to have his first scoreless appearance with the Cubs

    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.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?
