Bryant’s blast off Sale highlights Cubs’ All-Star outing

Got the T-shirts and everything.

Bryant is undoubtedly one of the best young players in all of baseball, and he is showing it off on a national stage.

I guessed at the spelling of Eric.

The major league baseball regular season resumes on Friday, with the Tigers’ game versus Kansas City from Comerica Park airing at 6:45 PM on 1450 WHTC, while the Cubs entertain Texas in a Wrigley Field matinee, and the White Sox face the LA Angels in Anaheim. In a Don Kessinger shirsey. He also became the first Cubs batter to hit a round-tripper in the first inning since Ernie Banks in 1960.

All those other guys?

And in this scene from “Late Night With Stephen Colbert”, the TV host is desperate for all the luck he can get – and he’s brought in three Cubs to help him channel the good vibes.

The Cubs can’t yak this up, no way, if only because they are better than the Cardinals and the Pirates, and that’s really the only measure that counts here.

“That’s something we don’t really discuss very often”, Arrieta said.

Wil Myers, the Padres’ leading hitter this season, was Collins’ choice at designated hitter – it is after all the All-Star Game, and it will be, technically, an American League home game – and Collins said that’s because he should start in front of the hometown crowd. While he has had his struggles lately, I have little doubt that he’ll get right back on track as quickly as possible. Sale got Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist to fly out in his second pitch of the inning and on the third got the Nationals’ Bryce Harper to ground out to second base.

But the mystery that followed Arrieta the past two days came as a result of his change of heart, from someone eager to participate to a guy more interested in observing.

Joe Maddon was busy reminding folks his 2008 Tampa Bay Rays lost seven consecutive games into the All-Star break, which some folks in St. Petersburg probably even noticed, and three months later were in the World Series.

However, it appears there could be a race in the NL Central after all. Gwynn said it was dipping tobacco that gave him cancer, the disease that would lead to his death.

“For sure being on the West Coast and taking the flight out here just for this, you know”. Lester said. “It’s baseball”. The Minnesota Twins are 20 games back of the Indians, but have won 7 of their last 10 games and as mentioned previously might end up only being the second worst team in the AL with the recent poor play of the Rays. It’s such a rollercoaster ride. We’re making it a little more hard on ourselves. “Everyone put this high expectation on us and we lived up to it”.
