Ex-Cub Byrd: Wrigley needs batting cage

Chicago Cubs Blog | ESPN Chicago — CHICAGO -- Former Chicago Cubs outfielder Marlon Byrd said the biggest problem with Wrigley Field from a players' standpoint is the lack of a batting cage.

"The only way to hit is walking across the field into the right field cage and hit before BP or on a rainy day.

Morning briefing: Day after not so pleasant

Mets Blog | ESPN New York — FIRST PITCH: The Mets will see no shortage of left-handers during a four-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates that opens at 7:10 tonight at Citi Field.

Left-handers Wandy Rodriguez and Francisco Liriano -- the latter in his Pirates debut -- start the following two days before the Mets see 25-year-old right-hander Jeanmar Gomez on Mother’s Day opposite Matt Harvey.
