"We feel that the Astros playing this weekend will provide a much-needed boost for our city," Houston mayor Sylvester Turner said in a statement. "With all of the difficulties that many of our citizens are facing, the games will provide an opportunity for families to start returning to some aspect of normal life." http://m.astros.mlb.com/news/article/251459366/astros-to-play-mets-in-h…
What? With shelters as full as they are, if Minute Maid is dry enough to play a ball game, it's dry enough to shelter people who have no home. MLB and Houston mayor sound dreadfully tone-deaf. I'm disappointed in the MLB.

That's a shame their GM is that stingy on NOT saving the team's owner a good chunk of money by eating $15-20M and maybe getting a prospect that can rank probably 8th to 12th in their organization, along with Lackey to help them lose games and get a higher draft pick. I'd really like to see the Cubs land Verlander. He can be very effective as a 4 or 5. And if he regresses, in the future, I do think he can be a strength in the bullpen, as he can still throw heat. If he had to just get three outs, I think he'd be hitting 100 on the radar with no problem.

Dang Brewers didn't get the memo -- won series @COL and @LAD, then knocked Gio Gonzo around tonight. Cards were supposed to face MadBum -- but he missed the game with the "flu". Check Matheny's pockets for empty vials.

Seriously. I'm officially concerned we aren't gaining more ground while we are in an incredibly soft schedule and they are in a brutal stretch. Maybe they are the real deal. Could be an interesting month. As long as we keep beating up on bad teams, all will be fine.

To pinch run, be a defensive replacement late in games (better than Jay in the OF) and play in the meaningless games at the end of the month. Do not know why they did not get Jose Reyes or Erick Aybar to back-up SS this month. I guess they think highly of Mike Freeman. Also FWIW, Harold Reynolds on MLB Tonight was throwing out that maybe Heyward was in their offer for Verlander to even out some money. That could make some sense cause it would have been the only way to add Verlander and stay under the luxury tax and the repeat offender penalty.

    matt shaw (AA) has a .381/.552/.905 line through 7 games...3 homers and a triple.  6 games at 3rd, 1 game DH (5 PO, 7 A, 0 E).

    that's somewhat fun news.

    i was blown away confused/pissed when it was announced the cubs were trading for y.almonte.

    i was thrilled when m.busch was announced as part of the trade.

    it's really weird to have the "you gotta take this payroll guy, too" (1.9m) part of the trade leak before the main piece.

    the cubs didn't get a deal given what they gave up, but i was very happy to have a guy like busch in the fold with so much club control.

    Have to admit I was initially disappointed the Cubs traded away the upside of Jackson Ferris but Busch is making a believer out of me.  If I still lived in midwest guessing we would have invented some drink special named a Busch Bomb at the local drinking establishment to celebrate his homers.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.
