SHOW NOTES
* 164.
:20: Cubdumb.
* Gonzalez:

There’s a myth that the Cubs can’t identify and draft major-league caliber starting pitching.
As cold evidence, they watched one of their former draft picks throttle their offense in a convincing manner Wednesday night.
Zack Godley limited the Cubs to three hits in six innings to help the Diamondbacks to a 3-0 victory at breezy Wrigley Field.

-> Zack Godley spent one season in the Cubs organization; he’s in his fourth season in the Diamondbacks organization.

– The Score’s Matt Spiegel this week on the Bears’ quarterback situation: I want Mike Glennon to be a Top 10 quarterback this year and maybe then deal him for a fourth-rounder, like McNair and Chandler, and then maybe Mark Sanchez will want to return as a backup next year too. It’s what I want to happen, not what I believe will happen.
