  1. #Cubs have out-hit opponent in last 4 games and lost all 4. Last time they did that in 4 straight was June 20-23, 1991, vs #Giants.
  2. Why are #Cubs losing? One reason: they're hitless in last 25 at-bats with RISP. bit.ly/KarIDy
  3. @TBTimes_Rays I like the revenge of the nerds. Good story
  4. Rodrigo Lopez left start for @IowaCubs Fri after 1 pitch because of tightness in groin. Felt it warming up. He's day to day. #Cubs
  5. Alfonso Soriano says #Cubs trying too hard. bit.ly/KS0Mti
  6. I'm all for being environmentally friendly, but lights are out in PNC press box before most media finished. Have to write in the dark. #Cubs
  7. #Cubs Dale Sveum: "I'm a little lost for words now. It's kind of the same thing. Guys are battling and having decent at-bats, good at-bats"
  8. Ryan Dempster now winless in last 17 starts. Last W was 8/11/11. And his ERA is 2.14. #Cubs
  9. #Cubs now 0-for-10 with RISP
  10. #Cubs now have scored 2 runs off a starting pitcher in the last 6 games, a total of 37 2/3 innings.
  11. #Cubs Notebook: The lineup, Stewart, Marmol & Clevenger updates, & more atmlb.com/LoW1mv via @cubs
  12. Not a good start: #Cubs have stranded 4, 0-for-6 with RISP. Plus side, Burnett has thrown 60 pitches over 3 innings
  13. @UrbyJT Justin Berg is recovering from Tommy John surgery
  14. Congrats to WGN Radio #Cubs play by play ace Pat Hughes, inducted into Branham HS (CA) Hall of Fame. It's not Cooperstown, but it's close
  15. Starlin Castro switched from No. 3 to No. 2 in #Cubs lineup. If this doesn't work, may pull names out of hat bit.ly/LBiM9H
  16. C Steve Clevenger (oblique) sked to play 9 innings Mon & Wed, and then be re-evaluated. #Cubs
  17. Carlos Marmol sked to pitch in game tonight for @IowaCubs and also Sunday. He could join #Cubs Monday
  18. #Cubs Ian Stewart sidelined because of soreness in left wrist. Nothing new, just same discomfort he's dealt with all season
