October 1, 1967 – The brilliant and brief Major League managerial career of Roberto Clemente began and ended on this day. Filling in for interim manager Danny Murtaugh, Clemente puts up stratospheric – if statistically insignificant – numbers as Pittsburgh's player-manager. The Pittsburgh Press reports: "Baseball's only undefeated ‘manager', Roberto Clemente, climaxed his greatest season ever by smashing his 23rd homer, a triple and driving in three runs while managing the Bucs before 28,244 fans on PrizeDay."October 1, 1932 - Babe Ruth, as legend has it, calls his home run against Chicago Cubs pitcher Charlie Root in the fifth inning of Game Three of the World Series, won by the New York Yankees 7-5 at Wrigley Field. Root contended to his dying day that this was not the case; he claimed Ruth held up his bat to indicate he had one strike left.October 1, 1961 - Roger Maris hits his 61st home run of the season against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium eclipsing Babe Ruth's 34-year-old single season home run record. The record setter was the only runscored in the game giving the Yankees a 1-0 win.October 1, 1978 - The Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees 9 - 2 on the last day of the season, to force an epic one-game playoff between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Boston won their eighth straight 5 - 0 over the Toronto Blue Jays.October 1, 2008 In Anaheim, the Red Sox continue their postseason dominance of the Los Angeles Angels by taking Game One of the ALDS, 4 - 1. Jason Bay hits a two-run homer off John Lackey, while Jon Lester gives up only an unearned run in 7 innings of work for the win.Historical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn Says

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh talk with Chicago Cubs pitching coach, Tommy Hottovy on the big win last night, trade rumors, and Justin Steele.

Tonight's guest, John Lackey, was featured on Episode 358. On that show, he shared several of the Sasquatch sightings and experiences he's had while spending time at his favorite place to interact with them, on a mountain, in Pennsylvania.

Most Sasquatch researchers walk endless miles through countless forests with little to show for their efforts but poison ivy rashes and sore muscles. Well, tonight's guest, John Lackey, doesn't go out looking for Sasquatch. He goes to his favorite place, on the mountain he lives on, to interact with them every day, pulls out a chair, and waits for them to come to him. He's had a lot of success researching this way and he's going to share several of his sightings and experiences with you, tonight, that he's had over the years, including sightings he's had of the 10-foot alpha that troop.

Bernie takes a look at recent Cardinals trade deadline deals and talks about how the club could use another pitcher like John Lackey to bring some edge to the team.

In season two of the "Finding Home" podcast series, Irish American Archives Society Executive Director Margaret Lynch interviews an array of Clevelanders with specialized knowledge and stories about the history of the Irish in Cleveland. This episode features an interview with John Lackey. John Lackey grew up in County Cavan. When his mother died at a young age, his father made a plan to send the family to a cousin in Cleveland, one child at a time. John and his father left together at the end of the line. In Cleveland, John became a produce manager at the old Pick 'n Pay. He soon immersed himself in Gaelic football, dances at the Westside Irish American Club, and Friday night card games; he met his wife at a wedding and started raising a family. But among his involvements here, he says that the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association takes pride of place. He talks about a lifetime commitment that has its roots in a pledge first made in Ireland.

The gang's all here (Jared, Coley, and Jake) for the last episode of 2021. We kick off the episode by going through some hypotheticals of what would happen if a major league pitcher showed up late for his start and what the consequences would be. Jared talks about his love for the Coast Guard and how he's always ranked them equally amongst the other branches of the military. Jared and Coley compare the contracts of Rick Porcello and John Lackey's careers with the Sox before moving into some Clay Buchholz discussion. Pat joins the show and we break down the miscommunication that caused him to be two hours late. Pat talks about his infamous outing against the Angels and gives an interesting anecdote about his interaction with Clay Buchholz in the dugout after he was pulled. Pat also gets into the nuances of pitching and talks about his best/worst pitches as a major leaguer. We end with everyone's New Year's resolutions for 2022. Happy New Year!

And with attention now focused on the postseason, who will the Cubs insert into their playoff rotation and in what order? Was this John Lackey’s last appearance in a Cubs uniform?

Plus Carlos Zambrano drops by to talk Cubs and John Lackey’s tirade last week.

The White Sox admittedly suck big time right now so Carl and WSD lightly gloss over some very minor details about the Go Go White Sox before taking the show up north. Cubs topics include an extended discussion about why John Lackey is an uncontrollable prick, the pro's and con's of being an uncontrollable prick, why Kyle Hendricks's (I'm sure that's the wrong way to use an apostrophe btw) balls drag on the ground, and Almora's progress.  Also: Marry Fuck Kill Marcus Allen, Sandy Koufax and Magic Johnson. Reacting to the new home run record. Steroids in modern baseball.

Nick Friedell (ESPN 1000), Seth Gruen (Bleacher Report) and Dan Cahill (Chicago Sun-Times) join Chuck Garfien on the panel. The Cubs crush the Cardinals but the highlight was John Lackey and Willson Contreras’ fiery ejections. Should Lackey have kept his cool? Is that even possible for him? Plus the guys discuss if Mike Glennon has a chance against his old team and if the Sox should consider trading either Jose Abreu or Avisail Garcia this offseason.

Assuming the Cubs make the playoffs, who will be their fourth starter – Jose Quintana or John Lackey? Patrick Mooney, Jeff Nelson, Scott Changnon and Tony Andracki debate plus who to trust in the bullpen down the stretch and how the Cubs have moved from having one of the worst World Series hangovers ever to a point where they’re now the best defending champs we’ve seen since 2010. Plus Cubs reliever Dillon Maples joins the podcast and discusses his journey to the big leagues after beginning 2017 in High-A ball. Maples talks about how he was his own worst enemy for years in the Cubs system and even recounts the time one year ago when he was looking for somebody to tell him it was OK to quit baseball and move on from the only life he’s ever known.

Carl tips his cap to John Lackey before previewing the upcoming Brewers series this weekend - the biggest Cubs' series of the year according to the guys. Other topics include: Is Arrieta really hurt? Who pitches game 1? Happ for ROY? The Red Sox are dirty lying cheaters and, as always, fantastic listener emails.    

John Lackey's pitching, along with the stellar defense of the Cubs, made it difficult for the Braves to generate any offensive firepower in their 2-0 loss.

The Cubs have tinkered with the lineup by batting Anthony Rizzo at the top of the order; they've moved some of their versatile players around, and just when you think they've got a handle on those problems, the bullpen blows a lead and the game. Meanwhile, the Cubs took a bunch of pitchers in the draft, and with the trade deadline on the horizon, Theo and company might make a move for more arms. They'll need to think about that with what appears to be Arrieta's impending free agency and John Lackey not getting any younger.
