Here are five things to look for when the teams meet this weekend at Wrigley Field: Bearish on Bryce? Cubs fans weren’t happy with the manner in which Harper “rallied” to beat Kyle Schwarber in last month’s Home Run Derby. Harper looks destined for free agency, but the Cubs have received enough production from their outfield to temper some calls to sign him. After struggling in the first half, the Nationals are pushing hard to earn a wild-card berth, while the Cubs are attempting to at least hold their ground until Kris Bryant returns from the 10-day disabled list. There’s enough on the plates of both teams, so digesting the thought of Harper joining fellow Las Vegas native Bryant in 2019 may be placed on the back burner. Natitude The Nationals remain fixed on overtaking the Cubs after slipping up in the NLDS. “We felt like we were the better team last year, and obviously some crazy things happened,” said reliever Brandon Kintzler, whom the Nationals traded to the Cubs hours before the July 31 deadline. “Weird things happened. We didn’t get two starts from (Max) Scherzer that we normally would have. But I definitely felt like we were going into spring training like we’re on a mission.” Despite the steady flow of young position players reaching the majors, this could be the last hurrah for a nucleus that features potential free agents Daniel Murphy, Gio Gonzalez, Matt Wieters and, of course, Harper. “They’ll still have a strong group,” Kintzler said. “They’re still pretty good, but there are definitely high expectations at the start.” Kyle’s climb? Kyle Hendricks has gained a semblance of consistency after racking up high pitch counts and high home- run totals in the first half. Hendricks has been accustomed to the big stage, and he outpitched Stephen Strasburg in the first game of the NLDS before getting knocked out in the fifth inning of the fifth and deciding game. The Cubs bullpen is well-rested after Jose Quintana pitched six-plus innings Wednesday followed by Thursday’s day off. But a deep start by Hendricks could alleviate concerns for the rest of the series. Stealing from the master? Nationals manager Dave Martinez used some gimmicks in spring training that were reminiscent of those used by his mentor, Maddon, during their 14 seasons with the Rays and Cubs. Could Martinez steal a few plays from Maddon’s book, such as squeeze plays and four-man outfields, or simply take a peek at Maddon’s signs? “I’ve emptied the playbook,” said Maddon, joking that he has employed various football formations. Maddon doesn’t see the need to pick the brain of Kintzler to obtain some of Martinez’s tendencies, nor has he asked a player for information on his previous team. “I have not done that chair under the light,” Maddon deadpanned. A-Rod vs. Darvish Less than two weeks ago, two security guards were stationed outside the visiting manager’s office at Busch Stadium, where the ESPN crew conducted its traditional pregame meeting with Maddon. That session was conducted about five hours before analyst Alex Rodriguez expressed critical comments about rehabbing Cubs pitcher Yu Darvish. Those comments irked Maddon and caught the attention of Darvish. There’s no telling how this beef will be settled, but here’s a suggestion: Rodriguez, 43, can face Darvish in his next simulated game — which could occur this weekend. And if Rodriguez, a 14-time All-Star, needs any tips, he can walk to the visitor’s clubhouse and find Nationals hitting coach Kevin Long, who supervised two of A-Rod’s three American League MVP seasons with the Yankees. -- Chicago Tribune Column: Bryce Harper as a Cub is a $300 million fantasy the team cannot afford By David Haugh Once upon a time, two Little Leaguers from Las Vegas grew up to be baseball superstars, home-run hitters who shared a hometown and occasionally dropped hints about playing for the same team. The fantasy of Bryce Harper hitting in front of Kris Bryant captures a Cubs fan’s imagination. The reality is the team can find more fiscally responsible ways to invest $300 million, especially with a roster full of young core players who will require long-term contracts. Harper and the Nationals arrive Friday at Wrigley Field for a three-game series barely above .500, a preseason National League pennant contender that has endured its share of disappointment this summer. An October rematch with the Cubs remains a slim possibility given the Nationals’ talent level, but more suspense surrounds the pending free agency of their 25-year-old outfielder. Will Bryce join Bryzzo in Chicago? On the surface, the easy answer is a question: Why not? Look around Wrigleyville and all revenue streams converge at Clark and Addison. Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts’ pockets are even deeper than this team’s bench. With Major League Baseball’s fourth-highest payroll at $188.6 million, the Cubs have reached the level where they should consider chasing every elite free agent and competing for the World Series every season. Signing a player of Harper’s ilk would be in character for a club that inked free agents Jon Lester, Jason Heyward and Yu Darvish to nine-figure contracts. But just because Ricketts has the money doesn’t mean the Cubs have to spend it — especially given the contract extensions likely due Bryant, Javier Baez, Kyle Schwarber and Kyle Hendricks in the coming years. And how will those new deals affect the dynamic with team leader Anthony Rizzo, whose team- friendly contract expires in 2021? At some point, the inflation of winning inevitably will catch up with the Cubs. In a game dominated by analytics, the bottom line still rules. Even for a successful big-market team such as the Cubs, a budget still matters. Represented by agent Scott Boras, Harper and infielder Manny Machado figure to sign free-agent contracts that will help them surpass Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton as baseball’s highest-paid player. Stanton’s 13-year, $325 million deal runs through 2027. If the Cubs are willing to make that sizable of an investment in a single player, it makes sense for that to be Bryant or Baez. Baez, a legitimate MVP candidate, is baseball’s best bargain at a $657,000 salary. Bryant, the 2016 MVP suffering through an injury-plagued season, earns $10.8 million this year but is worth locking up long term.

    Reign Men Taps Into a Compelling Oral History of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series

    Reign Men taps into a compelling oral history of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series. Talking Cubs heads all top CSN Chicago producers need in riveting ‘Reign Men’ By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 23, 2017 Some of the most riveting TV can be a bunch of talking heads. The best example is enjoying multiple airings on CSN Chicago, the first at 9:30 p.m. Monday, March 27. When a one-hour documentary combines Theo Epstein and his Merry Men of Wrigley Field, who can talk as good a game as they play, with the video skills of world-class producers Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey, you have a must-watch production. We all know “what” happened in the Game 7 Cubs victory of the 2016 World Series that turned from potentially the most catastrophic loss in franchise history into its most memorable triumph in just a few minutes in Cleveland. Now, thanks to the sublime re- porting and editing skills of Lauch and McGuffey, we now have the “how” and “why” through the oral history contained in “Reign Men: The Story Behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.” Anyone with sense is tired of the endless shots of the 35-and-under bar crowd whooping it up for top sports events. The word here is gratuitous. “Reign Men” largely eschews those images and other “color” shots in favor of telling the story. And what a tale to tell. Lauch and McGuffey, who have a combined 20 sports Emmy Awards in hand for their labors, could have simply done a rehash of what many term the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.

    Cincinnati Reds' Eugenio Suarez Celebrates After Hitting a Solo Home Run Off San Diego Padres Relief Pitcher Brad Hand in the Seventh Inning Thursday, Aug

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 24, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1990-The Reds release Ken Griffey, Sr. MLB.COM 'Tokki 2' belts 33rd homer as Reds fall to Cubs By Mark Sheldon and Andrew Call / MLB.com | 12:05 AM ET + 196 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- The Cubs are playing the right teams at the right time to enable them to pull away in the National League Central division race. A 9-3 victory over the Reds on Wednesday night -- aided by a three-run first inning and five-run fourth -- was their fifth win in a row. "Collectively, we were all going through a down period [in the first half of the season]," infielder Tommy La Stella said. "The talent has always been there. It's starting to turn for us right now, and turn at the right time." With the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Giants, the Cubs opened a season-high 3 1/2-game lead in the division. In the midst of playing 13 straight games against last-place teams -- the Blue Jays, Reds and Phillies -- Chicago has won seven of the first nine games. For the season series, the Cubs have also won 10 of 15 games vs. the Reds. "You can struggle in the second half or you can learn from your mistakes and get better," winning pitcher Mike Montgomery said after the Cubs moved 11 games over .500 for the first time this season. "Now it's all about getting into the playoffs. We're completely over last year." Reds starter Asher Wojciechowski had a wobbly outing from the get-go as he faced eight batters -- and walked three -- in a 35-pitch first inning and allowed three runs.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, August 21, 2017 * The Boston Globe The pick here is Andrew Benintendi over Aaron Judge Dan Shaughnessy Aaron Judge vs. Andrew Benintendi. Forget 2017 American League Rookie of the Year. I’m asking . which guy would you rather have on your team for the next 15 seasons? We love these Yankee-Red Sox mano-a-manos. It’s as old as the rivalry itself. Joe DiMagggio came to the bigs in 1936. Ted Williams burst on the scene three years later. Throughout the 1940s, it was a raging argument. We were even led to believe that the respective owners of the Sox and Yankees once made a late-night swap while in a drunken haze. The alleged trade was called off by dawn’s early light. Remember when the Sox had Carlton Fisk and the Yanks had Thurman Munson? New York’s grumpy catcher was a league MVP before his career was tragically cut short when he crashed his plane in 1979. Fisk went on to become a Hall of Famer. Don Mattingly and Wade Boggs were rivals of sorts in the 1980s and who can forget those early years of this new century when Nomar Garciaparra vs. Derek Jeter was a real debate. Now we have Judge and Benintendi. Big Poison and Little Poison. It’s 6 feet 7 inches and 282 pounds vs. 5-10 and 170. It’s not about Rookie of the Year anymore. Even though he is playing as badly as anyone can play at the moment, Judge pretty much retired the rookie trophy with his ridiculous first half.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, September 25, 2020 Braves.Com

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, September 25, 2020 Braves.com What to watch for in the Braves' final series By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Now that the regular season’s final weekend has arrived, it’s time to look at exactly what the Braves could still accomplish before making their third consecutive postseason appearance. With a 4-2 loss to the Marlins on Thursday night at Truist Park, the Braves’ magic number for clinching the National League’s No. 2 postseason seed remained at one. If they secure this spot, they would play the No. 7 seed, which means they likely won’t know their opponent until the still crowded NL playoff race ends on Sunday or Monday (if the Cardinals need to make up at least one game). One thing the Braves know is they will play the entirety of next week’s Wild Card Series in Atlanta. That has proven to be a good thing, as the team has spent the past couple months constructing an 18-9 home record, which ties them with the Dodgers for the NL’s best mark. Here are a few other things to keep an eye on: Get the kids ready Thursday began in encouraging fashion when Braves manager Brian Snitker announced Max Fried’s sore left ankle will not prevent him from starting Game 1 of the Wild Card Series. The day got even better as Ian Anderson held the Marlins scoreless through the first five innings, but he encountered some bad luck while allowing three unearned runs in the sixth. Now, the Braves will hope Kyle Wright also impresses as he makes his final regular-season start against the Red Sox on Friday.

The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the land- marks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process.
