Time to start a new winning streak.

Calling it now. Big nite for Rizzo and Valbuena. Go Cubs.

Its showtime.

LOB = 3 after the first.

Oh boy.

Not sure how many people thought Soto would come through in that at bat. I was hoping he'd get a walk.

Just speculation...

Wouldn't think a trade would come down in the middle of a game.

Hopefully he was just cramping up.

They arent going to take a chance...the Dodgers just told the Cubs they will give us the prospects we want if its Garza instead of Dempster.

Meanwhile, Tennessee is beating the fool out of Chattanooga 7-0 in the 5th.

Baez in Peoria is a double short of the cycle in the 4th. Peoria is ahead by 1.

Garza had cramping in his forearm.

Great turn at 2b by Castro. Nice to see the kid bounce back after the poor throw earlier.

its official Garza leaves with forearm cramps. x-rays negative. good news.

Germano looking better than Coleman or Wells.

They just said cramped tricep. Nothing big. Was it his throwing arm?

LaHair looking pretty bad at the plate...

He has since early May.

Bad move by Dale Sveum to call to the bullpen now. I feel this is it in tonight's game. No redbirds batters hit hard tonight against Germano. No reason to chance him now.

With our offense, that one run may do it. Of course the Cards could add on here.

See? Dale Sveum does not have the intelligence to manage the game. He's just a good hitting coach at best. 1-0 Redbirds.
