Top O' The Order: Here come the Irish at Wrigley Field
5 quick links to start your day ...
1. Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame? Why, certainly. And as a good Catholic boy from Chicago whose grandmother once told a college roommate he'd "burn in hell" if he didn't back the Irish, I'm ecstatic over the news that former ND receiver/recent Cubs callup/pride of Valparaiso Jeff Samardzija could possibly make a start for the Cubs this weekend at Wrigley Field. 'Specially since I hold tickets to Saturday's affair. [Sun-Times]
2. As far as I'm concerned, the guys at The Onion can take the rest of the year off after penning this classic (with accompanying photos): "C.C. Sabathia, Prince Fielder Keep Imagining Each Other As Giant Talking Hot Dog, Hamburger" [The Onion]
3. If I would have been able to remember my ESPN Insider password yesterday, I would have been able to read the rest of Rob Neyer's column about George Brett's pine tar incident, including a strange passage where Neyer brings up cocaine use. [Bugs & Cranks]
4. The Yankees aren't "ready to jump on that" when it comes to signing Barry Bonds. [NYDN]
5. The last pictures ever taken of Harry Caray at Wrigley Field? [Home Run Derby]

"We can't have players trying to eat one another, even in Milwaukee, so we're taking steps."
