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.

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.

    just waiting to hear patrick wisdom and masterboney are spotted at the airport going in opposite directions...

    aj puk going for the marlins (lefty)...gotta imagine we'll see wisdom in the lineup.

    someone has to make room for taillon, too.

  • crunch (view)

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).
