Sorry about the quality of this picture of Daily Herald columnist Bruce Miles. Apparently none of his photos from his modeling days are available on the interwebs. I caught this post from Miles's excellent Chicago's Inside Pitch blog this morning. It's both fairly amusing...

In follow up to Lionel's post below here is a picture of a horse jockey. He was playing with his lady friends mane the entire game. After some mean looks and shrewd comments from our row he slowly decreased his grabbing and yanking. Clearly they have some Wrigley fetish...Towel...

We know Carlos Zambrano loves baseball. He must've been chomping at the bit over the past two days with the unknown nature of when/where his next start would take place. His energy level must've been off the chart. Thankfully, he was able to control that energy tonight. And...

Some of you may have been wondering what happened to the TD staff, as we have made few posts of late. Well, my mom is kicking me out of the basement, Jumbo is too big to reach the keyboard or leave his house to buy a wireless keyboard, and no one has heard or seen Arthur in weeks....

In this week's ATAtM, the Cubs system has a busload full of succesful relievers, Jovan Rosa may have set a record for most extra base hits out of a power spot with only one RBI, and much, much more! Iowa Felix Pie-Pie has been getting a lot of AB's and a lot of hits of late...
