Ed Lynch was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 22nd round of the 1977 Major League Baseball Draft. After three years in their farm system, in which he compiled a 22–27 record and 3.89 earned run average, the Rangers sent him to the New York Mets on September 18, 1979 as part of an earlier deal in which the Mets sent Willie Montañez to the Rangers for two players to be named later. The other player the Rangers sent the Mets was first baseman Mike Jorgensen. He would make his Major league debut with the Mets on August 31, 1980 against the San Francisco Giants, out of the bullpen. He would win his first major league start on September 13 against the Chicago Cubs, snapping a thirteen-game losing streak for his club, He joins Mark and AJ on a week when the Mets will retire one of his teammates Keith Hernandez number to talk about #17 impact on the team.

The 1984 Cubs were mostly still around in 1986 only they were older and mostly injured and pretty bad. The Cubs got off to a hot start, if 2-8 is hot, Lee Smith pitched a lot, like a lot a lot, nobody won 10 games, Jim Frey got fired. The Cubs fielded a dream twosome of Shawon Dunston and Brian Dayett. A dream I guess if you were Andy and you were 13. Things were just as bad on other side of town, so actually that was fun. Jerry Mumphrey was pretty good, so there's that. A few of the 1989 Cubs started showing up, so that was fun. Anyway, sit back and enjoy as we tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and a lot more) about the '86 Cubs. On, and Ed Lynch got what he deserved. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/desipio/message

It was the dawn of a new era for the Cubs with Andy MacPhail, Ed Lynch and Jim Riggleman wandering into town. They traded for Brian McRae, grabbed Howard Johnson off the scrapheap, and once they found out what a juggernaut they had they traded in-season for Todd Zeile, Luis Gonzalez and Scott Servais. Frank Castillo almost threw a no hitter, Randy Myers almost killed a guy, Shawon Dunston, Scott Bullett and Mark Parent came up big down the stretch (no, really), and when faced with elimination they refused to lose until almost the very end. Join us as we relive the 1995 Cubs. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/desipio/message

For the final episode of Season 1, Jerry is joined by Vice President of IBM Digital Business Automation, Ed Lynch. They take a step back and discuss the concept of Enterprise Automation as a whole, specifically, where we are today and how we got here. Ed explains that Automation is everywhere - not limited to one specific industry.  He then elaborates on the future of Enterprise Automation, and how it inevitably will be centered around AI and augmenting human work. They close by determining that Automation all comes down to the human beings and that the best place to begin your Automation journey is with the data.  Art by David Ryan.

The season opened in the land of the rising sun and sunk pretty quickly afterwards. Don Baylor was the new Groove in town and he brought back a mediocre former Cubs catcher and an actual lead off man. Kerry Wood didn't debut until May after surviving his bout with Tommy John Disease but he did it in memorable fashion. The Cubs kept trading for Barves pitching prospects (never a good idea), Ed Lynch got fired and the Cubs occasionally used a linebacker sized outfield of Sammy Sosa, Glenallen Hill and Henry Rodriguez. It's time to remember some crap about the 2000 Cubs. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/desipio/message
