I hope it works, I got it in an email and didnt see any posts about it. The "Road to Wrigley" game will be held on Sunday August 9th at Wrigley Field with the Iowa Cubs facing the Las Vegas 51's at 1:20 p.m. CT. Very affordable and should be a good time. Tix go on sale to the general public next week.

I'm always interested in what professional athletes drive or at least what they own and last week Reed Johnson updated his blog about his new toy. So he says he is going to be pimpin' a low riding '51 Mercury soon. I hope he adds something Cubs related to it as he works on customizing it to his liking. I didnt know he already owned a Cobra but he's right about not being to drive it much unless he moves to a California team which I hope doesn't happen for a couple more seasons.

No details yet on the $$$$$

CHICAGO (TICKER) —The Chicago Cubs on Monday agreed to terms with reliever Kevin Gregg on a one-year contract, avoiding salary arbitration.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

Acquired in an offseason trade from the Florida Marlins, Gregg went 7-8 with 29 saves and 3.41 ERA in 72 appearances in 2008. He tied for the National League lead in relief wins and ranked eighth in saves.

Gregg, who likely will be used in a setup role with the Cubs, is 18-21 with 62 saves and a 4.00 ERA in 271 career appearances.

LIDS.COM has a couple adult Cubs hats and some kids hats for $5.... free ship to store. Unfortunately not much left but you may find a $5 hat for one of your other favorite teams, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, NCAA, Racing and others.

Given he grew up in Anaheim and lives in SD I figured the Dodgers made sense but maybe the Brewers are willing to offer more than a one year deal.

According to the Cubs website this years rally will be on Tuesday, 9/30/08 from 12PM to 12:45.

Hall of Famer Billy Williams, WGN Radio's Ron Santo and Cubs chairman Crane Kenney were scheduled to appear. Actor Jim Belushi will be the emcee and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley are expected to attend.

This is one of those times I'm glad to be working downtown. FYI, it will be in the 60's so wear your fall Cubs gear.
