Exciting Cubs/Sox game today. Home Runs by DLee and Soto–and their overall performance lately–should give Cubs fans a boost.
But the way it ended was just plain odd. Matt Thornton got to 1-2 on Soriano by throwing nothing but fastballs. Then he threw another for ball 2. And then pitch 5? Another fastball, right down the [...]

Three runs without power proved the difference

It’s baseball time again in Redleg Nation. Tonight, the Reds open a three game series with the hated Chicago White Sox. Stupid White Sox.
Wait, what? Oh yeah, these are the less-offensive Chicagoans or Chicagoites or Chicagolanders. These are the south-siders, huh?

It was another frustrating day for the Cubs. Ryan Dempster pitched well against the White Sox - 6 IP, 4 hits, 3 runs - but, the familiar refrain: no offensive support. The Cubs managed just 5 hits and 1 run off John Danks, and were totally stifled by the Sox bullpen. The offensive highlight for [...]
