Jason Bergmann vs. Cubs hitters: 9-29, HR
Ryan Dempster vs. Nationals hitters: 0-12
When and Where: 1:20, WGN
Sunny, 76?, wind blowing straight in at 11 mph.
Bergmann has started twice against the Cubs in his career, both of them last season. The Cubs won both games though he was decent overall. No Cub hitter has seen him more than 7 times. Soriano is 2-7 with a double, Ramirez is 2-6 with a double and Lee is 2-3 with a home run. No word yet on whether or not Lee will play today after leaving yesterday with neck spasms, but Daryle Ward is also 2-3 against Bergmann. Only 3 Nationals hitters have faced Rich Harden and they're a combined 0-12 with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts.

Contributor JS emails in with the news that his Cubbies handed it to the Nationals on Sunday, giving Ryan Zimmerman the coveted Golden Sombrero.

Years before most of the English-speaking world was convinced it could do a passable Harry Caray impression, Jim Volkman was a regular on Chicago radio and had established himself as the master Harry mimic.
Well, Harry (Jim) is back now, at 1908worldchampions.com, where he recently started a game-by-game commentary on the Cubs season, with assistance from two other great voices...
