He still feels like someone who should be a Cub.  In retrospect, we probably should have just paid up to keep him.

David O'Brien  @DOBrienATL  18h
Get your popcorn ready: Tomorrow is Greg Maddux Day on MLB Network. From 10 a.m. till late night, they're showing 5 Maddux-pitched gems plus at 5 p.m they're showing "Atlanta Rules, The Story of the ’90s Braves"


Sorry, I don't feel up to listening to that infernal chop and I can do without Chip Caray.

My understanding is that Dawson requires his customers to sign a blank check for services rendered.

Beautiful panoramic of the very first year of Wrigley Field - then Weeghman Park - all the way back in 1914. (via Chicagology)

Fun WGN special on the 1989 Cubs, who were in third place when this aired, but soon took over first:

Jordan Bastian  @MLBastian  1h
In the spirit of the all-time draft @LenKasper and I did over on http://Cubs.com, former Cubs manager Joe Maddon was nice enough to send his picks for an all-time Cubs lineup to Len...



I'd put Sammy Sosa in the outfield over Jose Cardenal.  Jon Lester over both Greg Maddux and Fergie Jenkins??
