When?I got back from dinner ? damn if Hugging Harold Reynolds hadn't lassoed the video already (after the jump since RedLasso screws up the HRD main page) ?

The Cubs' closer offered viewers a double barrel salute during today's White Sox Game. Here's to ya! (Video at HHR)

The Tribune Co. has pushed back the deadline for bids on the sale Chicago Cubs and/or Wrigley Field from July 9 to July 31 amid concerns by prospective buyers that the rosy revenue projection figures within the 300-page financial “book” put together by Tribune are unrealistic. According to the Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1025793,CST-NWS-cubs26...

The Cubs are playing very well this year, possibly up to World Series caliber. Derrek Lee has been the leader in the clubhouse, but could his playing difference at home and on the road be his downfall?

The White Sox and Cubs were tied in the 7th inning today when FOX decided to go to a quick shot of Kerry Wood. Well Wood had a message for the viewing audience....I don't think there has ever been a more perfectly timed shot of an MLB player in the history of television. Good work FOX and a great job by you Thom Brennaman playing it off.Kerry Wood Salutes You (Hugging Harold Reynolds)

During last night's O's-Cubs game, MASN put up a graphic asking fans to support three players in particular for All-Star selection: Brian Roberts, Nick Markakis and ? wait for it ? Melvin Mora. Yes, the same guy whose OBP is under .300 and who hasn't been any damn good since '05. Then play-by-play man Jim [...]

It hasn't happened very often this year, but Jason Marquis pretty much sucked today and by the 5th or 6th inning the Cubs were down 11 runs. The final was 11-4 and other than that, I'm not going to get into any specifics. It sucked, but games like that happen and the Cubs still won 4 of 6 on the home stand.

Cubs manager Lou Pinella has been asked to replace Willie Randoph on the NL coaching staff at next month's All-Star game. When originally overlooked, he said he was fine with that because it meant he could go home to Florida for a few days for some relaxation but he said he is equally glad to be Randolph's replacement because it will be his last chance to go to Yankee Stadium.

After losing a game last night to the Orioles you just kind of knew this team would win tonight. That's been one of the more enjoyable aspects to this season so far. This team doesn't lose many and they don't lose them in bunches. The offense picked up 4 in the 1st inning and added a couple more in the 2nd inning. Lilly allowed a couple of 2-run home runs to Jay...
