Game Ninety-Four - Cubs 8 Reds 5
WP - Randy Wells (6-4) LP - Aaron Harang (5-11) Save - None
On a day they found out Ted Lilly would likely be heading to the DL, the Cubs' offense came out swinging against Aaron Harang and the Reds. Aramis Ramirez put together a huge afternoon at the plate. Ramirez finished the day 4-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and three RBI. Ramirez gave the Cubs the lead in the first inning with a two-out double. After Mike Fontenot's eighth dinger of the season cut the Reds lead to 3-2 in the second, Ramirez tied the game in the third with a two-out single to right.
Aramis Ramirez hit his sixth homer of the year in the sixth off of Aaron Harang that broke a 3-3 tie and proved to be the game winner. Two of Ramirez's three RBI gave the Cubs the lead and the third tied the game, the Cubs' offense has missed Aramis Ramirez.
The Cubs tacked on four in the eighth that included Jeff Baker's first longball as a Cub and a two-r...

Ramirez: Mr. Cleanup
No trade acquisition is likely to be as important to the Cubs as Aramis Ramirez's return to form. ''You have to ask the other guys,'' Ramirez said of the effect his presence has on the lineup. ''But anytime you lose your cleanup hitter, it's going to affect the lineup.'' His loss was noticeable each time the Cubs struggled to score. Their other big hitters slumped while manager Lou...

Cubs vs Harang - Three things to Watch
For a while, I considered Aaron Harang to be be a very good pitcher. Now, I realize he's just good. I'm hoping the Cubs will beat up on him today, and here's what I'll be looking for...More grounders, or else: Harang threw about eight sinkers last time out, and it's a pitch he usually uses sparingly (if at all). Against his fastballs, Harang yielded a ground ball rate of 41% in the...

Cincinnati Reds' Starting Pitchers: First Inning Blues
As far as numbers go, 404 looks pretty cool. Take away the parts that jut out of the fours and it would be 101-or binary for five, and five is a great number. One can do all kinds of things with five.
Unfortunately, 404 can also be looked at as a percentage.Â
So far this season, Reds' pitchers have given up at least one run during the first inning of 38 of their 94 gamesâ€...
