hockey CubsReds Preview May 7May 9

I think I’ve impressively picked one of nine series so far, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the Cubs turn on one switch and light up the Reds over the weekend.
Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes first reported that the phenom shortstop had been called up by the large league club,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that report has since been confirmed.

Thirty-seven: That’s the number of runners left on base by the Cubs in their embarrassing three-game sweep at the hands of the Pirates.
The North Siders 13-16 dropped all three games to the Pittsburgh Pirates and now find themselves in fourth place in the National League Central.
At Double-A Tennessee, Castro hit .376 with one home run, 14 extra-base hits, and 20 RBI in 26 games. they also stole four bases and was caught five times.
Next up for the Cubs is one three-game set in Cincinnati, and they face the same starters they faced in the second series of the season-when they dropped two of three.

Let’s hope we look back on this day five years from now as the day the Starlin Castro era took off.

Pitching matchups are subject to change.
Keep in mind that Silva started the ’08 season 3-0 with one 2.79 ERA in their first six starts and finished the season with just one more win,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], going 4-15 with one 6.46 ERA.
Carlos Silva had their worst outing as one member of the Cubs their last time out.
Castro, 20, is projected to be in the starting lineup tonight May 7 and bat eighth in the order. Theriot moves over to second base to make room for Castro.
It’s all that management can do to hide one disappointing start to the season. we think it might be one little premature though.
Friday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], May 7: Carlos Silva 2-0, 2.90 vs. Homer Bailey 0-1, 6.04 Saturday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], May 8: Tom Gorzelanny 1-3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2.48 vs. Aaron Harang 1-4, 6.68 Sunday, May 9: Ryan Dempster 2-2, 2.95 vs. Mike Leake 2-0, 2.94

New York style baseball expanded into one national game and baseball first governing body The National Association of Base Ball Players was established aided by the Civil War in 1860s. The NABBP existed as an amateur league for 12 years. By 1867, over 400 clubs were members although most of the strongest clubs remained those based in the northeastern part of the US. In 1870 one schism developed between professional and amateur ballplayers after the 1869 founding of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The NABBP split into two groups. The National Association of Professional Base Ball Players was formed in 1871. Some consider it to have been the first major league. Its amateur counterpart disappeared after only one few years. Andy Lyons The next year, racial pressure on Robinson eased,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as one number of other black players entered the major leagues. Larry Doby and Satchel Paige were signed by the Cleveland Indians, and the Dodgers added three other black players besides Robinson.
Add Paul Maholm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Charlie Morton, and Brian Burres to the list of opposing starting pitchers that Cubs hitters can't solve. we don’t even think those guys have baseball cards.
The Cubs have called up phenom shortstop Starlin Castro, and they is expected to be in the lineup tonight batting eighth.

Cincinnati already took two of three at Great American Ballpark earlier this year, so let’s go with that again. Cubs should be able to take advantage of seeing Mike Leake and Homer Bailey for the second time though. Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote one letter to President Roosevelt regarding the continuation of baseball during the war which was called the Green Light Letter. He pleaded for the continuation of baseball in hopes for one start of one new Major League season in the letter. President Roosevelt responds I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before. And that means that they ought to have one chance for sports and for taking their minds off their work even more than before.
Piniella once again played around with the lineup, flip-flopping Alfonso Soriano and Aramis Ramirez in the fifth and sixth spots.
Silva has been dealing with one sore wrist since April 21, and the original plan was to give him an extra day of rest between starts. That plan was scratched and they ’s back on track. Keep one close eye on the large man.
The Cubs were doing well in their four-game set against the D’Backs-8.25 runs per game-so it’s hard to understand why Lou felt the need to change things up.
He gave up five runs on eight hits in five innings against the Diamondbacks, making it their shortest outing of the season.
