Dale Sveum and Edwin Jackson Argue, We Shrug, and Other Bullets
edwin jackson cubsYour daily family move update (because it’s
relevant to the site): the bulk of the move is behind us, but
the most critical component as far as you folks are concerned
comes this morning. That would be the internet transfer, which
could leave me without internet service for a bit today. Fingers
crossed that you’ll notice no such thing.    • So, there was a
fight last night. Kind of. Edwin Jackson didn’t want to be
pulled after just four innings, and Dale Sveum wanted to use a
pinch hitter. They argued. Other folks stepped in. It was
anticlimactic, as you’d hope intrasquad fights would be. After
the game, both Sveum and Jackson deflected questions about the
incident, sufficiently downplaying it that all will be forgotten
in a day or two. In a season like this one, after a season like
the last one, it’s impressive that there haven’t been more
blowups. I’m not trying to minimize the argument – it just
really seems like a whole lot
