Road to Wrigley - Tix Presale

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.

What does RJ drive?

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.

Don't have MLB Netwk? Links to ask for it!

Ok so I have Dish Network and my area of LaGrange, IL still does not have MLB Network. I dont think Dish Network carries it at all. If you have AT&T/Uverse you are probably in the same boat. I found a couple links thru the MLB Network website where you can send a letter to each carrier asking them for MLB Network. It's very quick and easy.

For Dish Network users click here

For AT&T/Uverse users click here

If the above links don't work, please try this one

Cubs avoid arbitration with Gregg

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.

Brewers close to deal with Hoffman

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.

I will be making the trip up 94 this weekend to catch the Saturday and Sunday games vs the BrewCrew. I'd like to make a few posters but I'm not sure what to say. I want to stay somewhat classy.
