Next Game Chicago Cubs @ Chicago White Sox Friday, Jun 27, 2008, 3:05 PM CDT U.S. Cellular Field Ryan Dempster vs Jose Contreras --> Partly cloudy with a 50-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing from right to left field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 85. Complete Coverage > More rain and storms -- just what we need, right? Hope they hold off till evening. Bruce Miles writes today that the "L" flag on the scoreboard may become a thing of the past: The idea behind the flags is to give passers-by on the CTA Red Line train and those in the neighborhood the result of that day's game. It's a longstanding tradition that predates the Internet, cell phones and instant access to scores. However, there's a feeling in the organization that the "L" flag is a negative because it "shouts out" a loss. Jayson Stark's weekly "Rumblings" column has some interesting stuff about interleague play and also this Cubs note: Speaking of [A. J.] Burnett, the most over-ballyhooed trade rumor of the year is the talk linking him to the Cubs. We haven't found any indication that the Cubs have even batted his name around. And teams that have spoken with the Cubs report that if they do make a deal for starting pitching, they wouldn't pursue just any old arm. They're looking for pitchers who can make an impact. So while they may not have enough prospect depth to pull off a trade for C.C. Sabathia, you can expect them to make an aggressive run at him ...
