The Rundown Lite: Contreras Fears for Brother’s Life, Leadoff Picture, More Spring Debuts Coming

Despite the advent of Sunday alcohol sales in Indiana, I’m writing this post stone sober. I may, however, have to raise an obligatory toast to the end of that particular facet of our draconian booze laws. Next up: cold beer at gas stations.

Word reached me via telegram that Mike Canter plans to be back on the grid soon, so you’ll get your regularly-scheduled Rundown back as of Monday. That’s perfect for me, since I’m headed to Lost Wages for a couple days, after which I’ll become an honorary Phoenician for a the rest of the week.

The plan for now is to have a booth at Sloan Park on Thursday and Saturday for both of my fans to get pictures and buy Cubs Insider merch that I will autograph for a nominal fee.
