Jeff Bennett starts for the Braves, after the scheduled starter, Jair Jurrjens, slipped on a dugout step following last night's game and messed up his ankle.

I'll bet it was just like that scene in "Pride of the Yankees," where Lou Gehrig (Gary Cooper) slips on a pile of bats near the on-deck circle, and a gorgeous girl (Teresa Wright) laughs at him and calls him "Tanglefoot."

Yes, I'm certain it happened just like that.

Ryan Dempster puts his 7-0 home record on the line this evening; overall, the Cubs are 10-3 in Dempster's starts...The team's 27-8 home start is the Cubs' best-ever at Wrigley Field.

Let's win one for Teresa Wright!

hit in the wrist, looked in a lot of pain. Ball richoted off his wrist and hit him in the face as well....

Was it that bad? From Rotoworld.... "Alfonso Soriano left Wednesday's game in the second inning with a hand injury after being hit by a pitch. Mike Fontenot pinch-ran for him versus the Braves. Soriano is probably day-to-day."

Didn't look good, although Soriano lingered long enough to make it seem like he at least thought about staying in. Dempster plunks McCann a few innings later, and Sutcliffe smells a conspiracy.

Yes lets hope Soriano doesn't miss too much time, although the team played fine without him before. Probably see Murton or Pie up if he goes on the DL.

If they plan to call up someone to actually play, rather than to fill a bench spot while Fontenot or Cedeno see more starts and DeRosa more time in the outfield, they should consider either Hoffpauir or Patterson. E-Patt has been red-hot of late and could fill the leadoff role while he's on his streak. Hoffpauir could bat 5th or 6th to better effect than Edmonds and would allow the Cubs to bat DeRo or Theriot leadoff and move Fukudome to #2. Plus, while I really like Matt, he still hasn't found his power this year, and we all know LouPa is looking to get another lefty bat in there.

Real shame for Fonzie and the Cubs if the injury is serious. He really seemed to be moving well of late in the OF and on the basepaths - never good to take 15 HRs and 40+ rbis off the table...

Minimally displaced fracture of the 4th metacarpal for Soriano. Medical abstracts say that it's not more than a 10-15 recovery-time injury, but the ESPN and WGN guys are saying that it'll be six weeks 'til we see him on the field again. Here's a medical excerpt on the injury: Forty-six of the fractures (82%) were minimally dis placed or undisplaced and were treated by means of simple casting and/or splinting whereas 10 were dis placed. Two of the 10 underwent closed reduction and casting; 3 underwent closed reduction and percuta neous pin fixation; and 5 (9%) underwent open reduc tion internal fixation using AO type plates and screws. All fractures healed primarily clinically and radiographi cally. The average time lost from practice or competition in this group overall was 13.7 days, (range, 0 to 56 days). Average time lost from basketball was 19.8 days and from football 10.63 days overall. Average time lost from sport in stable fractures treated with casting or splinting was 12.3 days. Those undergoing open reduction in ternal fixation with plate and screws averaged 13.6 days. We concluded that most metacarpal fractures in the athlete can be treated by closed means with a fairly rapid return to sport, depending on type of sport and position played. In certain displaced fractures, open reduction internal fixation can expedite early return to function and return to sport. Emphasis mine. Source: American Journal of Sports Medicine.

1. Mega Super Bummed that Soriano got injured thanks to Skippy the AA and a half pitcher. 2. While I loved seeing a complete game, I am no super excied about seeing the high pitch count (119) 3. Tough to think of he replacement for Fonsie, but I wish (oh how I wish) that Felix Pie had gotten his game together. 4. 18 games over .500 feels better than that pair of blue jeans that you had the hardest time letting go.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
