For fans of everything I-Cubs, there’s a new edition of “Michael and the Mayor,” the video blog where two Iowa minor leaguers talk about whatever they want, usually about their lives as minor leaguers. The new episode was delayed by Michael Roth, who was the original “Michael” on the show, getting traded to the Rangers. Luckily, Mike Freeman’s name is Michael and he subs in for the departed Roth. “The Mayor of Des Moines” is still Taylor Davis.
Yes, that’s Big Papi in the photo with Miguel Amaya.
