    I caught a piece this morning that said Kerry Wood is being placed on the DL and the Cubs likely would bring up Jeff Samardzija to take his spot on the roster. Stay tuned. It could be interesting for ND/Cubs fans like moi.

    I guess that is good news, I would have liked for Jeff to have worked the rest of the summer at AAA, and made the team next spring. I worry about him being physically ready for the bigs, this is only his 2nd season of playing baseball full time.

    But I'm sure he's excited and I will be rooting for him, not the Cubs I'm sure you understand, but for Jeff.

    Sid who are you rooting for to buy the Cubs?

    Mark Cuban? :) The Ricketts Family? The Group lead by Hank Aaron and Jack Kemp?

    Cuban would certainly liven things up, you'd have all sorts of improvements at Wrigley!!

    Terry,

    I don't like Cuban. For all his money, he acts like a spoiled little kid always seeking attention. The media eats it up, but I don't. I don't know anything abut the other groups but I hope Cuban does not get the nod.

    Re: Samardzija. Terry, I would agree with you except for the fact that he has pitched very well in AAA as a starter with only one loss and an ERA of around 3.10, much better than he did in AA. Go figure.

    Jeff had a great game yesterday and not a bad debut either on Friday.

    I did hear that Cubs fans booed Charlie on Saturday when he sang "Take me out to the Ball game" ....shame on them!!
