OK -- my 4th of July resolution is to try to stay more positive. So -- 10 games to the AS break, meaning the Cubs will be in first place at the break! First time since...2008? Also, hopefully, Willson, KB and Javy learned something about Familia yesterday that they can use in the future.

delayed until 7:20 -EST- (tarp off the field)... CLE/TOR in the top 18th in case you're bored. 2nd baseman r.goins pitching for TOR...hit 90mph so far. 1ip 2h 1bb 0k, 0 r/er (bb was ibb). he threw a fastball/change mix. crowd loved it. d.ross is not impressed. d.barney strands j.lake at 2nd in the bottom 18 for the cubs bluejays...to the 19th! -cubs game has begun- d.barney pitching the 19th!!! ...and he gives up a HR to c.santana facing his 1st batter. he's exclusively throwing 83-86mph fastballs. 1ip 1h 0bb 1k, 1 r/er (struck out m.napoli) CLE wins...longest MLB game of the season.

Nimmo certainly does not want to see the Cubs leave town. His first MLB rbi last night and now his first HR. At least Hammel is eating some innings ... this is the kind of game Peralta should be used if at all.

RIP jason hammel's awesome ERA. 10 ER in 4ip...almost a full point tacked on tonight, alone. 5HR given up tonight. oogly.

If baseball does not work out for Patton, I think he's got a future in Civil War re-enactments. He's got a solid Johnny-Reb look to him.

Hammel has had a rather challenging last month. I am hoping post-break that Hendrix gets pushed ahead of him. They'll be lucky to win a game in NY

Thank you, Jason, for allowing me to get to bed at a decent hour. Very thoughtful. It will be very interesting to see what Theo does at the deadline. Of course, if Jake doesn't get straightened out, it really doesn't matter. A lot of Jake's comments this year, and his posing for nudie pics in the ESPN magazine, rang some alarm bells -- after one great year (and it was amazingly great), his head has swelled tremendously. Jake, look up the word "hubris", then look in the mirror.

To take my mind of this latest disaster...wow, I thought baseball money was crazy, but NBA money is now super-wacko crazy. Joakim Noah is 31 with bad knees and absolutely no offensive game. He can't make a layup. The Knicks just agreed to pay him $72M over 4 years. Holy crap.

I don't see how sports economics is sustainable. The Mets are still paying Bobby Bonilla, for God's sake. Contracts like Heyward's are lots of fun for the players, but from an economic standpoint, make no sense. Hell, they don't even make sense to Heyward. Why does he need $150 million? $30 million won't do the trick?

TV money for sports will continue to go up. With all the viewing dispersion with cable/Netflix/binging/etc., the only place advertisers can reliably get a large audience is sports TV, namely NFL and NBA games. Mike Conley just got 5 years/$150 million. Crazy, man.

so... anyone else ready for the all-star break? =p it's been a tough past couple weeks...except that reds series. i miss playing the reds. that was cool.

Normally, with a lead like the Cubs have, I wouldn't say tonight's game is big, but tonight's game is big. Arrietta needs to step up tonight.

Submitted by Cubster on Sun, 07/03/2016 - 07:01 am

The Mets were 0-7 last regular season vs Cubs. So October is a whole different thang. I'm focused on getting the DL players back especially Fowler, Soler, TLS, Warren. The playing time this affords to Contreras and CJ is pure bonus in 2016. Plus they are throwing the usual spaghetti at the bullpen wall to see what sticks (Nathan, Crow, Patton, Richard and Peralta (please don't stick)). Last year it was Richard, Soriano and Rodney, but it also had additional limp spaghetti including the likes of Schlitter, Wada, Hunter, Roach, Coke, Medina and Beeler.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.

  • Cubster (view)

    I was there for the PCA homer as well. 50 degree baseball is no longer fun when sitting in the shade (knit hats, scarves and gloves are football gear) but I agree it’s one of those really cool moments. I loved the bear hug given by Swanson at home plate and of course the added impact that the PCA homer became a game winner.
