"It's Spring Training," Lackey said after his first spring outing in Tuesday's 8-7 Cubs loss to Italy's World Baseball Classic team. "I kind of have a routine of what I do the first start, second start. The last two starts before the season, I'll pitch with everything and go get 'em." Lackey gave up one hit over two innings against Team Italy, a two-out single to Alex Liddi in the second. The Cubs right-hander finished his outing by striking out Gavin Cecchini. "It's a good one to keep moving forward on," Lackey said. He didn't know how many pitches he threw, but Lackey guessed the total included one breaking ball. He didn't bother to look at the radar gun readings posted on the scoreboard. "I don't look at the gun in June," Lackey said. At 38, this will be Lackey's 15th season. He likes pitching in games. It's those days in between that are tough. "Definitely, the stuff in between starts gets hard the older you get," Lackey said. "When you're out on the field competing, that's still a lot of fun. The other stuff gets a little tougher the older you get. It's necessary for you to compete at a high level." Lackey was looking forward to adding another World Series ring to his collection. He's already got two, winning with the Angels in 2002 and again with the Red Sox in 2013. However, when asked where he kept his jewelry, Lackey said they were in a box somewhere in his closet. At least he thought that's where they were. "I've got a rubber wedding band, for goodness sakes," Lackey said. "I'm not a huge flashy kind of guy. It's going to be awesome to have, for sure. If I go to a wedding and have to wear a tux, I'll wear one of them, that's about it." He did order a pair of custom World Series champion boots Tuesday. Lackey will wear those. "One hundred percent," he said. "Those will get sported around, for sure." -- Cubs.com Uehara's goal: Pitch 10 years in Majors By Carrie Muskat MESA, Ariz. -- Taped to the top of Koji Uehara's locker are two pages with headshots of the Cubs players and coaching staff. "I'm a rookie," Uehara said, laughing at his way of trying to learn his new teammates. The right-hander actually isn't a rookie, but entering his ninth season in the Major Leagues after pitching 10 years in Japan. Asked how much longer he wants to pitch, Uehara, 41, didn't need his interpreter C.J. Matsumoto. "Two more years," Uehara said in English. So, he's announcing his retirement now? "With me, it's more that I pitched 10 years in Japan, so to pitch 10 years here is my goal," he said. The Cubs are happy to have his experience. He signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Cubs, deciding to reunite with his former Red Sox general manager, Theo Epstein, who is now president of baseball operations in Chicago. "The main reason I chose this team was because I thought this team had the best chance to win it all," Uehara said. Several teams were interested in him, Uehara said. "He knows what he's doing," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of the right-hander, who won a World Series with the Red Sox in 2013. "He hasn't been a real hard thrower throughout his career, so it's not like he's lost any velocity. His split is really a good pitch. He's very good against lefties." Uehara does know a few of the Cubs players, and his son Kazuma is good friends with Cubs pitcher Jon Lester's son, Hudson. Lester knows to steer clear of Uehara after his outings in the dugout. The right-hander likes to give everyone in the dugout aggressive high-fives when he's done. Uehara is pacing himself in Spring Training. "I'm going to try to destroy them all during the regular season," Uehara said. "I can't be like that first time out." -- Cubs.com Cubs name 20 fans to present World Series rings By Carrie Muskat MESA, Ariz. -- The list includes a 90-year-old man from Kewanee, Ill., and a 13-year-old girl from Peru, Ill. There's a young woman with spina bifida who plays baseball for her Miracle League Cubs team, two teachers with Cubs- themed classrooms, a grandfather who saved a 1984 bottle of champagne for his championship toast and a father whose four kids have Cubs-themed names. They are among the winners of the Cubs' championship ring bearer fan contest. Twenty fans will have the opportunity to present Cubs players and coaches their 2016 World Series rings on the field on April 12 at Wrigley Field. The winners were selected from more than 1,500 video nominations on Twitter using the #CubsRingBearer hashtag, which was shared more than 10,000 times overall. These fans were nominated by family members, co- workers and friends, and selected based on their passion, loyalty and creativity. The list also includes a woman who overcame cerebral palsy to support her team in person, and a veteran, cancer survivor and longtime bleacher season-ticket holder who saved the newspaper from Ernie Banks' debut to eventually have it signed by Mr. Cub himself. The presenters will wear unique jerseys and hats to match the players' uniforms that day and will be among the first fans to get a look at the Cubs World Series rings, designed by Jostens. "The greatest journey in sports history was backed by the greatest fans in all of sports, and we're thrilled to reward 20 deserving people from that passionate group with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Cubs president of business operations Crane Kenney. "It will be rewarding to see our World Series rings presented to players and coaches by such an impressive group of fans." Here is the list of championship ring bearers with their ages and hometowns. More information on each winner can be found at www.cubs.com/cubsringbearer. Jeff Birtell, 58, DeKalb, Ill. Grace Davis, 20, Jefferson City, Mo.

  • Arrieta's Second-Half Decline Bites Cubs
    Arrieta’s second-half decline bites Cubs at just the wrong time in Game 3 By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, October 18, 2016 The location problems that afflicted Jake Arrieta in the second half came back to bite the Cubs hard Tuesday in a 6-0 de- feat, their second consecutive shutout loss to the Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodg- ers back-to-back post-season shutouts was the first in their storied franchise his- tory. Pitching like the third starter to which his performance level had often devolved, Ar- rieta’s gopher balls to Yasmani Grandal and Justin Turner revived the age-old It was a tale of two pitchers: Jake Arrieta (left) continued his second-half decline, while ex-Cub paranoia about playoff collapses from Rich Hill pitched the game of his life. Cubs fans, whose heroes must now play Photos: baseball-reference.com and mlb.com. from behind with a 2-1 deficit. And they’re forced to do it in two more games at Dodger Stadium, never a comfortable place for the Cubs since it opened in 1962. Their best hope to restore equilibrium is rattling 20-year-old rookie starter Julio Urias in Game 4 Wednesday with the Cubs hurling the veteran John Lackey, with his big- game playoff winner resume and 38th birthday looming this coming Sunday. Cubs manager Joe Maddon’s tinkering with the slumping lineup, which began with Game 3, might continue as the situation approaches criticality. Eighteen straight scoreless in- nings tossed at the previously prodigious lineup will conjure up nightmares of past postseason pratfalls with the Cubs hitting only .190 versus breaking balls so far this year.

    Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 1 Running header: THE ORIGINATION OF BASEBALL AND ITS STADIUMS The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums: Wrigley Field Justin A. Jordan North Carolina State University Landscape Architecture 444 Prof. Fernando Magallanes December 7, 2012 Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 2 Abstract Baseball is America’s Pastime and is home for some of the most influential people and places in the USA. Since the origination of baseball itself, fields and ball parks have had emotional effects on Americans beginning long before the creation of the USA. In this paper, one will find the background of the sport and how it became as well as the first ball parks and their effects on people in the USA leading up to the discussion about Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 3 Baseball. This one word could represent the American pastime and culture. Many believe it to be as old as dirt. Peter Morris in his book, Level Playing Fields, explains “Baseball is sometimes said to be older than dirt. It is one of those metaphors that sounds silly on its face but that still resonates because it hints at a deeper truth. In this case, the deeper truth is that neither baseball nor dirt is quite complete without the other” (Morris, 2007). Morris practically says that baseball cannot thrive without proper fields to play on or parks to play in. Before describing early playing fields and stadiums in baseball, one must know where the sport and idea originated from in the first place.

Mayor Charlie Luken wins the contest with a 43 ¼ foot toss and Mary Krutko of WKRC-TV wins the women’s division with a toss of 40 feet. MLB.COM Reds roughed up by Dodgers in series finale By Mark Sheldon and Cody Pace / MLB.com | August 22nd, 2016 CINCINNATI -- If the Dodgers' bats came alive in Sunday's win, they were downright perky on Monday. With seven home runs, including four slugged during the top of the fifth inning, Los Angeles took a wild 18-9 victory over the Reds to gain a split of their four-game series. Adrian Gonzalez did the most damage with three homers and a career-high eight RBIs, including a three-run shot in the first inning, a solo homer in the six-run fifth and another three-run homer in the seventh. The win helped inch the Dodgers' lead in the National League West standings to one game over the idle Giants ahead of the rivals' three-game series that opens on Tuesday. "There was a lot of good things," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "Obviously, Adrian had a career day and Chase [Utley], Corey [Seager], guys were on base all game and to see that these guys didn't let up and continue to put together at-bats, run the bases, hit some balls out of the ballpark, very excited for our offense." The Dodgers are the second team this season to hit seven homers in a game.

  • Report: White Sox Consi
    Headlines of October 21, 2015 “GM Hahn working to find new bench coach” … Scott Merkin, MLB.com “Report: White Sox considering ex-Cubs manager Rick Renteria for bench coach” … CSN “Truth about Harry Caray: It was show business” … Josh Peter, USA Today Sports GM Hahn working to find new bench coach By Scott Merkin / MLB.com | @scottmerkin | October 20th, 2015 CHICAGO -- General manager Rick Hahn didn't present a specific timetable when asked during a 2015 season-ending media session about replacing Mark Parent as White Sox bench coach. "It takes as long as it takes to get the right guy," said Hahn, adding that they had put together a list of people of interest at season's end. "There could well be some turnover elsewhere that opens up some names that aren't on our list at this time." A source confirmed to MLB.com that former managers Manny Acta and Rick Renteria, as well as Raul Ibanez, are names on that list of potential bench coach candidates. The White Sox also talked to Sandy Alomar Jr., the Indians' first-base coach and highly respected former catcher over three different stints on the South Side. But a second source confirmed that Alomar Jr. is not a candidate for the vacancy. This hiring process could take a little longer than expected with bench coach possibilities also potentially being connected with managerial openings in Seattle, San Diego, Washington and/or Florida. Another possibility is moving Joe McEwing, the team's third-base coach, into the bench coach role and bringing in someone to take McEwing's spot.
