Cubs Midterm Reports Cards, All Star Notes, and More

HR Derby
Prince Fielder and the other 7 derby participants put on a show last night in the 2009 MLB HR Derby. Congratulations to Price, the derby champ! To bad there were no Cubbies to root on in the contest! Please vote on my poll!

MLB Legends and Celebrity Softball Game
Lee Smith gave up 5 run in the first inning in the legends and celebrity softball game! It was played on Sunday and televised last night on ESPN. Former Cubs pitcher Rick Sutcliffe was in the broadcast booth with Gary Thorne. Ernie Banks also played in the game. Smith singled in his first at bat. The NL won 10-8.
