Aramis Ramirez returns to the Cub lineup, and Ronny Cedeño gets a start at second base.

In the pitching matchup, Carlos Zambrano, who was one horrendous Kerry Wood inning away from winning his fifth game of the season last time out against Milwaukee, goes up against curveball-flingin' Aaron Harang, Zambrano beat the Reds in the middle contest of their three-game visit to Wrigley Field a few weeks back; Harang started the series opener and got smacked around (6 IP, 8 H, 5 ER) en route to a 9-5 Cubs win.

"Cubs win"...those are two words that haven't been used very often around here lately.

Other Tuesday notes:

— Today is the 10th anniversary of Wood's 20-strikeout game against the Astros

— Geovany Soto is coming off a single-double-homer hitting performance Monday night, the third time this season he has come up just a triple short of the cycle; I don't know what he's waiting for.

— Felix Pie's homer-robbing catch off Ken Griffey was Monday's Play of the Day on ESPN, but it was Adam Dunn's 750-foot homer against Ryan Dempster that got John Kruk to giggling.

— Cubs.com reports that "the visiting clubhouse at Great American Ball Park has been redecorated, partly because of the mess the Cubs made last September when they celebrated clinching the NL Central there." I wonder if Marty Brennaman was required to shampoo all the champagne stains out of the carpet and that's why he and his kid have become so insufferable where the Cubs are concerned.

FYI, heard Lou in the pre-game. "tonight, I gotta put people out there who can catch the ball, Cory." He was pretty disgusted with how poor defensively the team is playing. Truly thought it was a team strength. Provis asked is, "fielding contagious?" and Lou responded that in his view it is an individual thing - whereas hitting tend to go in streaks. Really thought the team post good start would hover at the .500 mark in subsequent games played - not what they have been doing. Mentioned Fonty needed to have gotten the sure out in his boot, and then thought about a DP, "He may be trying too hard..." Such a difference in how he handles things, than Dusty.

Adding to our thread on Thom. Here was a nice gem from tonight's game: TB: "I don't know if it is sentiment or lunacy, but many experts have picked the Cubs to reach the World Series this year." You stay classy Thom...

Gavin Floyd with his second "hmm-hmm" bid of the season. This is pretty much the only time you'll ever see me pleasantly tune into a White Sox broadcast with Hawk and DJ. Though, I abide by the "you can put it on mute, YEEES!" rule, so it's all good.

1) Since his absolutely horrendous start, salary valedictorian Alfonso Soriano has hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games, raising his batting average 145 points from a respectable .045 to a scorching .190. Give the man a raise! 2) Felix Pie goes 1 for 4 and actually raises his average. Who says being roomates doesn't have it's advantages?

Gavid Floyd just lost it. Mauer with a slicing fly ball just past Quentin. Good job, Hawk! Sigh. The kid looked all giddy even after he lost it. Nice game!

I missed an entire three dayz of Cub games because I was out of the country - in Euro no less. And then I come back to internets, and beer, and a lawn that needs mowing. And the Cubs finally winning again. London Times relaying very unfriendly messages, but it's so f'ing good to be home. I will return to this space with coherence, I promise.

Brewers have lost 4 straight since their uplifting gift from the Cubs. Baseball. Go figure.

The Cubs are very sensitive about that. They like to make you look good even if you aren't.

    I’ve got Tim’s The Last Out too, along with some other prints of his work.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis)

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.
