After the longest road trip to begin a season since 1899, the Cubs will get to sleep in their own beds this week. Beds they haven't been in since before they left for spring training in mid-February. Think about that: This road trip was not only nine games long, but it spanned 11 days (plus an extra three days before the season began in Florida) and the Cubs haven't been home in two months. While it would've been awful to play in Chicago in sub-freezing temperatures over the past week, this is the longest road trip to start a season in 119 years. They're also returning to Wrigley Field winners, boasting a 5-4 record. For all the panic and comparisons to last season's slow start, the Cubs are sitting in a fantastic spot entering a long homestand. They just won three of four from a very good Brewers squad, where they took advantage of all the Milwaukee mistakes, received quality starts in all three victories and saw their bullpen shut down an offense that very well may border on "elite," even without Christian Yelich. The Cubs also did all this without Anthony Rizzo for the final three games of the series, as the All-Star first baseman is dealing with a back injury and may not be ready for Monday's opener at "The Friendly Confines" given the chilly forecast doesn't mesh well with a balky back. "We just played quality baseball the last four games," Ben Zobrist said. "It's a good team, so good to get off to a good start against them this year and hopefully we can continue that this coming week." Joe Maddon called it before the series started, giving his usual spiel about how he loves playing good teams, especially early on. After going 2-3 against the Marlins and Reds - two teams expected to be competing for the No. 1 overall pick next summer - the Cubs came out and stomped their new division rivals, giving the fans who battled the "Wisconsin residents only" presale plenty to cheer about all weekend. The Brewers scored just 7 runs in the four games, plating tallies in only four innings of the 36 played. Milwaukee also made 7 errors in the series, allowing the Cubs to take advantage. "We did," Maddon said. "We've been playing aggressively. We've been playing smart for the most part." The Cubs still didn't look quite like themselves, struggling to play situational baseball from an offensive perspective (particularly with runners on third base and less than two outs). But they also will take a series win against an up-and-coming division rival who figures to be in playoff contention for the next several years. "We know they're deep, they're a resilient bunch," Kyle Hendricks said. "What they did last year kinda brought them together. We have to be on it, game-in, game-out, regardless of who we lose or who they lose." There's also a budding rivalry between the two teams in terms of off-field drama and wars of words. Take the Willson Contreras issue in the eighth inning Sunday. Or the social media spat between the two teams over the last few months, culminating in an absolutely epic takedown by @Cubs Thursday: Either way, this was exactly what the Cubs needed to light a fire. "Always going to be a tough battle," said Kris Bryant, who is off to a blistering start. "They seem like a fun group over there, having a lot of fun. "Sure, it can get a little annoying, but we do the same thing. It's a nice little rivalry and they're gonna be a tough one this year." -- NBC Sports Chicago Willson Contreras explains his expletive-laden reaction toward Brewers after big hit By Tony Andracki MILWAUKEE — Willson Contreras never backs down from a battle. The Cubs' fiery catcher was caught on camera in the eighth inning of Sunday's game with an expletive- laden reaction while standing on third base after hitting a triple off Brewers reliever Adrian Houser: While it initially appeared as if Contreras was mouthing that at Houser, he clarified after the game it was meant for a Brewers player in the dugout: "Not with him. I have nothing against the pitcher," Contreras said. "He's doing his job. He can do whatever he wants. But there was one person from them that I don't like and that was something that came out. "We battled, I won the battle and that feels good. I'm excited. And also one of them doing different things towards me and I took it personally. We had an incident back in Venezuela back in 2014 and he knows who he is." Contreras said Houser was quick-pitching him throughout the 10-pitch at-bat. After Houser's 3-1 delivery, Contreras threw the bat down, thinking it was Ball 4, but the pitch was actually called Strike 2 and the at-bat resumed. On the pitch he roped for a triple, Contreras admitted he was actually trying to call for time from home plate umpire Fieldin Culbreth, but time was not granted and so the Cubs catcher was forced to swing. "He was throwing fastballs at 96, 97 (mph) and I was calling time out and he didn't give me a time out, so I was able to put a barrel on it," Contreras said. The 25-year-old catcher had a big series, collecting 6 hits in 14 at-bats in Milwaukee, raising his season slash line to .286/.375/.429 (.804 OPS) on the year.

  • Insolvent Professional Sports Teams: a Historical Case Study
    LCB_18_2_Art_2_Grow (Do Not Delete) 8/26/2014 6:25 AM INSOLVENT PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS: A HISTORICAL CASE STUDY by Nathaniel Grow* The U.S. professional sports industry has recently witnessed a series of high-profile bankruptcy proceedings involving teams from both Major League Baseball (“MLB”) and the National Hockey League (“NHL”). In some cases—most notably those involving MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers and the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes—these proceedings raised difficult issues regarding the proper balance for bankruptcy courts to strike between the authority of a professional sports league to control the disposition of its financially struggling franchise’s assets and the rights of the debtor team to maximize the value of its property. However, these cases did not mark the first time that a court was called upon to balance the interests of a professional sports league and one of its insolvent teams. Drawing upon original court records and contemporaneous newspaper accounts, this Article documents the history of two long-forgotten disputes in 1915 for the control of a pair of insolvent franchises in the Federal League of Professional Base Ball Clubs (specifically, the Kansas City Packers and the Indianapolis Hoosiers). In the process, the Article contends that despite the passage of time—and the different factual and procedural postures of the respective cases—courts both then and now have adopted similar approaches to managing litigation between professional sports leagues and their insolvent franchises. Moreover, the Article discusses how the history of these 1915 disputes helps explain why U.S. professional sports leagues have traditionally disfavored public franchise ownership.

Zeigel died May 8, 2006, at the age of 101 years old. Yet, the impression he left from his 34 years at Eastern, his 72 years with Rotary International and his friendly personality will not be easily forgotten. His wife, Frances E. Zeigel, died April 17, 2006. She was 102 years old. Zeigel died just three weeks later. June 1 would have been their 76th wedding anniversary. "For their wedding anniversary last year we were not able to find a 75th anniversary card from Hallmark, so I purchased a 50 year card and a 25 year card and taped them together. Dad got a real kick out of that," said son, Robert F. Zeigel. Zeigel came to Eastern in 1937, teaching education classes, and was the first to teach off- campus classes offered by the campus. His work with education would get him extra tire and gasoline rations during the war, according to son Robert. Because of his work with Eastern's Schoolmaster's Club, it enabled a guidance conference at Eastern to be arranged for high school juniors and seniors.
