Cubs Game Notes For Sunday vs. Reds
2010-08-08 16:21:00 *One of the biggest differences between these two teams this year has been with clutch hitting. The Reds are first in the National League hitting .281 with RISP.

The overall ML average is .259.*Travis Wood has been stingy - hitters are only batting .175 against him in his seven big league starts.*Thomas Diamond fanned 10 Brewers in his big league debut.

But even Lou has his limits, and it seems as though he's in a funk, just like the players. Instead, first we'll turn to Ryan Dempster:"Things can happen in a hurry, especially when you put guys on," Dempster said. "It's unfortunate. The game was closer than the score dictated. It turned what could have been a good game into a terrible one." Dempster's take on keeping things together: "Guys are working hard. Guys aren't showing up a half-hour before they have to be out there or not putting the work in. They continue to put the work in. Hopefully,...

Reds On Duty For Their Countries
2010-05-25 00:14:00 Three Man United players were involved in England?s unconvincing 3-1 win over Mexico at Wembley this evening. Rio Ferdinand led out England as skipper but it didn't get off to the best of starts. Defensively England looked disorganised and shaky, especially during the first 10/15 minutes. Ferdinand was taken off at halftime, replaced by Liverpool?s Jamie Carragher. Michael Carrick had been poor for Man United during the 09/10 got off to a poor start at Wembley; he couldn?t take control of the game and was substituted in the 62nd minute. It wouldn?t be a surprise if he isn?t named in the 23 man squad, who will travel to South Africa for the World Cup. Surprisingly Wayne Rooney played the full 90 minutes, which was a risk considering it is a friendly and the criticism that the Wembley Turf has had over recent weeks. Rooney didn?t have a stand out game but he did have one or two good chances at goal. We didn?t really see much from United?s potential new signing (subject to a wo...

John Grabow got some help from Derrek Lee, who snagged a line drive in the eighth that probably would have tied the game. But Carlos Marmol didn't need any help from the defense, striking out all three Reds he faced in the ninth. The Cubs are within 1 game of .500. ...

Well, I guess the security guards/pr people there will actually tell, but that wasn't quite as poetic. Thankfully, I wasn't subjected to the Cubs game last night, so I'm still holding on to that last shred of optimism I managed to glean from Thursday's game. Today Carlos Zambrano (0-1, 54.00) will face Aaron Harang (0-1, 5.40). How will the "New Z" handle the game following his public humililtation at the hands of Jason Heyward and the Cubs' middle infield? In one way, only time will tell.
