* Mike Montgomery has left the room.
* The Cubs too often have nothing left to show of their trades – except a World Series, of course, but still.
* Disrespecting 90, 180, 270, and 360.

56:29: Mark Potash vs. Stan Bowman vs. Read The Replies Too.
No matter how he spins it, Stan Bowman is trading a player he drafted 29th overall just two years ago. In 10 years as GM, none of Bowman’s first-round picks has played even two full seasons with the Hawks. Jokiharju is the sixth straight first-rounder he signed that he’s traded: pic.twitter.com/5BCNKN2Jeo

Bonus TrackNotes:
* E-mail from Tom Chambers, our man on the rail:
If you haven’t finished recording the podcast yet . . . (we were in the midst of it):
Several tracks are closed tomorrow because of the heat.
-> Saratoga closed. Feature was to be the Coaching Club American Oaks (Grade I, 3-year-old fillies, $500,000). They hope to open Sunday and run it then.
-> Not sure as of now if Monmouth, on the Jersey Shore, is going to close, although I hope they do. Not sure how much of a shit they give. The Haskell Invitational (Grade I, 3-year-olds, $1,000,000). Forecast is for 95+ degrees.
These are the other closings as of now: Belterra Park, Delaware Park, Ellis Park, Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack, Laurel Park, Parx Racing.
Later from Tom:
Maldonado just framed a K!
With these umps, need that.
Is he any relation to Candy?
Not Candy Ride. He’s a horse. Bred in Argentina and he’s a happy stud up here.
