Retro Kyle Farnsworth??

I know it’s wrong but it looks like him!

This is only the beginning....Lou Pinella end of '07 season and Chicago Transit Authority (the band when they were really good).

It does, a little.

But no, it’s not him.

Darn!

That pic was a good one. Wonder why I can’t link to it.

Based on the uniform

It is between ’57 and ’71.

I'll give you that.

Obviously, that doesn’t narrow it down too much.

Leo Burke

Yes, yes ... winter is indeed a pond upon which all of us must skate, braving frostbite and runny noses in the hopes that our cars will start and we shan't embarass ourselves slipping on a patch of black ice. Spring is more a quagmire of cold mud and slush, and fall is a pile of fallen leaves that may or may not hide a pile of doggy doo-doo. But summer, ah summer is an oasis of endless green that disappears all too quickly beneath our feet as we rush through its warm, glorious bliss.

Not to thread hijack...

…but wasn’t it rumored that any deals (Bradley, Marquis) were supposed to go down after the weekend? So like, today?

I don't believe he played for the Cubs until 1974.

Today, or any day after today...

I don’t think the rumors said immediately after the weekend.

Darcy Fast?

Even if it’s not him, I always thought that was a great name for a pitcher.

agreed

and no longer so very obscure. ;)

It is Darcy Fast.

We have a winner!

Here’s a interesting article about Darcy Fast and what happened to him.

Wow, that is interesting.

And, as is mentioned at the end of the article, Fast wrote a book about his experiences as a Cub. The URL mentioned still works.

Aramis Ramirez and Reed Johnson during warm ups at their rehab assignment with the Peoria Chiefs at Kane County.  Aramis Ramirez missed a home run by about 2 feet at his first at bat and ended up with a stand up double.  He later took a base-on-balls and scored twice. Reed Johnson also had a hit and scored.  Here are the rest of the photos.

It's more walk-off magic for the Cubs, when a bases-leaded walk to Jake Fox gives them the 2-1, extra-innings win.

7/3:Cubs vs. Brewers

It's yet another episode of "Outfield Adventures", starring Milton Bradley, as he'd lose this Jason Kendall-hit ball in the sun Friday against the Brewers.

Jeff Suppan is thrown out by Kosuke Fukudome in the seventh inning of the Cubs 2-1 win.

Or as Kenny Powers would put it, "You're %@$@#!! out!!"

"Sources tell me Soriano will bat 6 in tomorrows lineup vs....
Buster Olney said a few days ago that the Braves would entertain offers for their 26 year old shortstop (who makes 450k) Yunel Escobar. He is a plus bat, a solid defender, and would move Theriot to his more appropriate position at second.

They are looking for a bat in return. Apparently Cox doesn't like the guy. 

I couldn't even speculate what we'd have to send them in return, but I think he would be a good fit given his low salary, his productive bat, his position, and his age.  I don't care if he's a jerk if he makes the team win more.

What would it take?
