Maddon wants him to play even if the AS game is his first one back.

I can still remember as a kid Jack Brickhouse announcing the Cubs' infield on my transistor radio: "Santo, Kessinger, Beckert & Banks- the infield third to first. A battery of Jenkins & Hundley."

Damn I'm old.

You can't just expect to beat Anthony Desclafani

The bullpen has been mediocre at best the last three weeks. We really need another lefty to shore up the bullpen.

The bad baseball continues.

On another note, Dexter Fowler has decided not to play in the AS game.

Not sure why the tweet isn't showing up.

It's Lester & a baby faced Rizzo in their Red Sox days.

OK, boys. The 2nd half starts today. Let's hope the team is well rested after the AS break and gets back to the play at the start of the season.

Hendricks wheeling and dealing.

Pirates lost to the Nats and the Cards blew a big lead to Miami. It was a good day.

I wouldn't put it past Joe Maddon to have intentionally used 4 former Rangers prospects to shut out the Rangers

These Rangers announcers are awful.

Nine hits and the only run scored is on an error.

Bases loaded in the 9th with nobody out down 2-1 and we couldn't score. Also had 2nd & 3rd with no outs earlier in the game and didn't score off that opportunity either.

Last night's game was extremely tough to watch. Cannot believe we could not push one run through in the ninth.

The Cubs were 2-13 with RISP last night - and neither hit scored a run.

6-2 winner. Hendricks was great again and Rizzo with two HR's.

Outside of last night, Rizzo has been on a ****ing tear lately.

Looks like the Cubs have traded Dan Vogelbach to the Mariners for LHP Mike Montgomery. I guess that's Theo's way of giving the finger to Cashman asking for Schawrber for Miller.

Trade b/w #Cubs, #Mariners an exchange of long-term assets. Montgomery five years of control after '16. Vogelbach yet to appear in majors.

I don't think it is a difference making arm that will impact October, so I am not super high on the deal. Maybe that is the market on RP this year though.

The bullpen was/is in need of a big upgrade, especially from the left side. This is the first step. He's not an Aroldis Chapman type of arm but Theo isn't going to give up a ton of young talent for a rental.

The Cubs aren't done dealing by any means.

Like Junkhead said, this is the first step in getting the stretch run/postseason roster in order.

I get that and am not mad about it. Just looking at his advanced stats it seems like his ERA is a bit lucky so far and he has been benefiting from a high ground ball rate, which he can hopefully sustain. I'd prefer a few more Ks but I agree - he is a piece of the puzzle.
