APNewsBreak: Cubs-Cards set for London on June 13-14 in 2020

St. Louis will be the home team for both games, according to a draft of the 2020 preliminary schedule obtained by The Associated Press.
''I've had experience traveling over there and the time difference is pretty dramatic, especially when you go that way,'' Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday. ''When you come back, you're always able to catch up, when you're going back in time as opposed to forward in time. I don't even know what to expect in something like that. You know your head's going to be swimming a little bit, you've got that brain fog, you just do.''
''It's going to be like nothing we've ever experienced, so I won't know until we get to it,'' he said.
''Once you get there, you're going to have a lot of adrenaline, you're going to probably be well enough to play those games and be excited and charged up,'' Maddon said. ''When you come back adrenaline's gone, and then you get back into this regular schedule, that would be the larger concern. But having said all that I think it's great. I'm a big fan of Europe. If jets could even become more efficient, I think it would be a great situation to have a team or teams over there. That would be really the kind of expansion you're looking for. But it would have to be a scheduling thing. It would have to be all kinds of considerations just based on jet lag because the brain fog will beat you up. ''

St. Louis Cardinals great Bob Gibson diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
St. Louis Cardinals great Bob Gibson is fighting pancreatic cancer.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said the 83-year-old Hall of Famer was diagnosed with the cancer several weeks ago and revealed the news Saturday to the other living Hall of Famers.
Gibson's longtime agent, Dick Zitzmann, told the Post-Dispatch that Gibson has visited The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and has been hospitalized in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, for the past two weeks. Zitzmann said chemotherapy is likely to begin Monday in Omaha.

The 1968 season became known as "The Year of the Pitcher", and Gibson was at the forefront of pitching dominance. His earned run average was 1.12, a live-ball era record, as well as the major league record in 300 or more innings pitched. ... Gibson finished the season with 28 complete games out of 34 games started.
The 1968 World Series didn't end on high note for Gibson, he won 2 games (and lost 1 which was game 7); unfortunately for the Cardinals Micky Lolich won 3 (including the 7th game).

You know what? Chicken butt.
Suck it Reds fans
Cardinals win their 17th game in a row to clinch a playoff birth.
Longest NL winning streak since 1937 or something like that.

Congrats -- what an incredible run the Cards have been on. If anything, it makes me feel a little better about the Reds collapse that even if they had played well, it still wouldn't have made a difference. I don't know how the Cards do it almost every year, but I wish the Reds could figure it out already.
Also, go fuck yourself.

Mike Shildt fired as St. Louis Cardinals manager over 'philosophical differences'
Despite a team-record 17-game winning streak that carried the St. Louis Cardinals to an MLB wild-card berth, Mike Shildt was fired as manager Thursday.
Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak cited "philosophical differences" to explain Shildt's dismissal. He declined to expand on those differences, saying the move was "something that popped up recently."
Mozeliak noted that Shildt was heading into the final year of his contract but said that wasn't the sole reason for parting ways. Shildt had signed a three-year extension after the 2019 season.
"All I can say is where we felt the team was going, we were struggling to get on the same page," Mozeliak said. "With him having one year remaining on his contract, we could have gone into 2022 having that over him, and we just decided that internally it would be best to separate now and take a fresh look as we head into a new season."
