Jeff Samardzija: You Can't Make This Stuff Up!
How can you have seven starts -- fifty innings pitched -- have an ERA of 1.62 (second best in all of Major League Baseball) and have a winning record of 0 and 3?
You play for the Chicago Cubs...
Last night -- the former Notre Dame All-American wide receiver throws nine SCORELESS innings, giving up three hits while striking out seven. Yet, he doesn't get a decision in the Cubs 3 - 1 loss to the White Sox in 12 innings.
Samardzija's on pace to become the first starter in history to pitch in the MLB All-Star game without a win...

Five Draft Experts PIck the NFL's First Round
Two former Notre Dame football stars are among the college players that these "five" CBS SPORTS writers are projecting will go in Thursday night's First Round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
What's disappointing to me is the two players who left early from Notre Dame (Tuitt and Niklas) -- are no where to be found in the first round of these five mock drafts. Here's hoping that they will be "first round surprises."

Skylar Diggins Dominates in Tulsa Shock's Win
The former Notre Dame All-American put on a show last night in front of the home crowd scoring 25 points (in just 22 minutes) in the Shock's 82 - 59 win over the San Antonio Stars.
Another former Notre Dame All-American -- Kayla McBride who plays for San Antonio -- made her pro debut last night. I'm quite sure Kayla's going to quickly forget about this performance. Kayla was 1 for 7 from the field for 3 points in 18 minutes of action.
Here's the media coverage:
