The St. Louis Cardinals completed the series sweep of the Cubs, with the help of yet another walk-off homer by Albert Pujols -- his fourth of the series. At the top of the tenth inning, Pujols' slammer put the Cards ahead. This was the sixth straight loss for the Cubs, and it ended Cubs closer Carlos Marmol's franchise record scoreless inning streak at 25 1/3 innings. more ›

Looks like Jerry Reinsdorf hasn't asked Kenny Williams for the checkbook back yet. Reports surfaced yesterday that the White Sox and shortstop Alexei Ramirez have agreed on a four-year, $32.5 million contract extension, locking up the Silver Slugger, should-have-been Gold Glove winner and an integral piece of the team's future. more ›

Just because the Cubs chose to hire Mike Quade as their new manager doesn't mean Cubs legend and minor league manager Ryne Sandberg won't be in a Chicago dugout come spring. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen stated recently on WSCR-AM that Ryno would make his short list to replace Joey Cora as bench coach should Cora land the Milwaukee Brewers manage job. When filling other recent vacancies on his staff, Guillen has considered the likes of Rene Lachemann, Jerry Royster and Pat Corrales. more ›

White Sox 6, Indians 5: Alexei Ramirez had a home run and three RBI to help the Pale Hose close out an 88-74 campaign and earn Ozzie Guillen his 600th victory as Sox manager. Edwin Jackson went 5-2/3 innings to earn his fourth win since coming to the Sox in a trade with Arizona. Before the game, Paul Konerko and AJ Pierzynski ran out to their positions in the field to standing ovations from the crowd; both are in free agent years. more ›

It was the Casey Coleman show last night as the youngster threw seven scoreless innings and doubled in a run as the Cubs dispensed Houston 2-0. Coleman scattered six hits and struck out only two across the seven innings of work but he shut down Houston as the Cubs continued to roll under interim manager Mike Quade. Carlos Marmol pitcheda thankfully drama-free ninth for his 38th save of the season. The Cubs have won 4 of 5 and look to play out the season on a high note when they take on the 'Stros in game two of the weekend series later this evening (6:05 p.m., WGN). more ›

An RBI single in the top of the ninth by Brad Snyder broke a scoreless tie in a pitcher's duel as the Cubs beat the Padres 1-0 in the series finale. Tom Gorzelanny was sharp, pitching six scoreless innings (which only earned him the dreaded 'no-decision'). The Cubs' bullpen was even sharper, allowing no hits and no walks as the Cubs played spoiler for Padres who are still trying to make their way into the post-season. With the series done, the Cubs now move to Houston where they'll close out the season with a three-game set this weekend against the Astros starting tonight (7:05 p.m., CSN). more ›

Freddy Garcia pitched seven solid innings, allowing just two runs, as the Sox claimed a 5-2 victory from the visiting Red Sox; the win put Garcia's 2010 record at 12-6. Down 1-0, A.J. Pierzynski tied the game at 1-1 with solo homer in the bottom of the fourth. The Sox then used a series of singles and an intentional walk to move runners around the bases in bringing in three runs in the seventh inning to pull ahead for good. An RBI on a Juan Pierre double play put an exclamation point on the night. Ozzie had nothing but good things to say about Garcia after the game: "A lot of people talk about [John] Danks and [Gavin] Floyd, all those guys. The best pitcher we had every five days was Freddy." Speaking of Danks, he gets his final start of the year tonight as the Battle of the Sox draws to a close (7:10 p.m., WCIU). more ›

The Battle of the Sox took a turn for the dramatic at U.S. Cellular Field last night as the White Sox rallied past the Red Sox for a 5-4 walk off win. The lost was extra hard on the Red Sox as before the game even finished other action officially eliminated them from playoff contention. The BoSox took an early 3-0 lead but Carlos Quentin's two-run homer in the fourth brought the Pale House to within 3-2. After a David Ortiz homer extended Boston's lead in the sixth, the White Sox scored in the seventh and eighth innings to tie it up at 4-4. That's when Juan Pierre came through for the Sox, singling to get on base and, with two outs, stealing both second and third base before pinch-hitter Dayan Viciedo delivered the game-winning single. Edwin Jackson gave up all the Red Sox' runs over seven innings, striking out six but it was Chris Sale getting the win with two innings of relief work. With the series tied 1-1, the White Sox try to take an edge later tonight (7:10 p.m., WCIU). more ›

It was a pitcher's duel at Petco Field Monday night, one that the Cubs came up on the winning side of with a 1-0 victory. Carlos Zambrano continued his dominant second half performance this season, allowing three hits over seven innings while striking out five. Not that the game was without drama. In the ninth, Carols "Drama" Marmol recorded two quick outs before, yes, loading the bases. Fortunately, with his back against the wall, Marmol got the Padres' Nick Hundley to fly out to left field, ending the attempted rally and the game. We're beginning to think Marmol does this all on purpose. A Blake DeWitt RBI single in the seventh was the only scoring hit of the game, driving home Alfonso Soriano, but it was enough with Zambrano's dominant performance; Big Z is 7-0 over his last 10 starts, striking out 55 but only giving up 9 runs and this was the third time in four outings he gave up zero earned runs. Where the hell was this Zambrano in April? The Cubs hope they can keep playing spoiler for the in-the-playoff-hunt Padres when the two teams meet again tonight (9:05 p.m., WGN). more ›
