  • Cubs Daily Clips
    September 10, 2016 Cubs.com Lester, Bryant lower Cubs' magic number to 7 By Brian McTaggart and Jordan Ray HOUSTON -- He could have been an Astro, and on Friday night, Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant served up a reminder of the kind of impact he could have had at Minute Maid Park. Bryant, taken by the Cubs as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2013 Draft after the Astros passed on him with the top pick, clubbed a two-run homer in the fifth inning to back seven scoreless from Jon Lester to send the Cubs to a 2-0 win over the Astros, lowering Chicago's magic number to 7. "It still feels like we're just right in the middle of the season, but we feel like we're getting to baseball that actually really matters," Bryant said. "Anything can happen in the full season, so you've got to get there first, and we certainly feel like we're playing really good baseball right now." The Astros have lost three in a row and remain 2 1/2 games back in the race for the second American League Wild Card spot behind both the Orioles and Tigers, who drew even on Friday with Detroit's 4-3 win over Baltimore. "We did have some chances," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "Lester's a good pitcher and he has a way of finding himself out of these jams. We did get the leadoff runner on about half the innings against Lester but couldn't quite get the big hit.

The Rockford-based chain began in 1962 with restaurants in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. Geri’s was somewhat modeled on McDonald’s as one of the owners was a former vice president at “Mickey D’s”.

    Clean Sweep: The Sweet Spot for Auctions The sports memorabilia business seems to have an auction literally every day, not to mention ebay. Some auctions are telephone book size catalogs with multiple examples of the same item (thus negatively affecting prices) while others are internet-only auctions that run for a short time and have only been in business for a relatively short time (5 years or less). Clean Sweep Auctions is the sweet spot of sports auction companies. We have been in business for over 20 years and have one of the deepest and best mailing lists of any auction house. Do not think for a second that a printed catalog in addition to a full fledged website will not result in higher prices for your prized collection. Clean Sweep has extensive, virtually unmatched experience in working with all higher quality vintage cards, autographs and memorabilia from all of the major sports. Our catalogs are noted for their extremely accurate descriptions, great pictures and easy to read layout, including a table of contents. Our battle tested website is the best in the business, combining great functionality with ease of use. Clean Sweep will not put your cherished collection in random or overly large lots, killing the potential to get a top price. We can spread out your collection over different types of auctions, maximizing prices. We work harder and smarter than anyone in the business to bring top dollar for your collection at auction. Clean Sweep is extremely well capitalized, with large interest-free cash advances available at any time.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
