OK, forgive me, but I cannot resist. The Cubs have hired Manny Ramirez, one of the nuttier and more selfish players in the game, the same guy who was suspended for like a century for using PEDs, to act as a player-coach at Iowa and mentor some of their budding stars. Is this surreal or what?
Back on the home planet, the Cubs split a series with the equally hopeless Padres. An outcome that was fair to all and demonstrated just how far these two teams are from being legitimate major league teams. The high note was Wood's dominant pitching performance. The low note Jackson's. On the bright side, Junior Lake is definitely showing some improvement at the plate and in the field. He's hitting for power, taking the ball to right field, and striking out less.
Samardzija pitches on Monday. You wonder what new way the Cubs will think up to deny him a victory.
