Alfonso Soriano is Shut Down
The Chicago Cubs have decided to put down sit Alfonso Soriano indefinitely until/if his bum knee gets better. “The crux of it is his knee is not strong,” Piniella said. “He’s having trouble playing on it.

Series Preview: Cubs v. Mets, September 4 – September 6, 2009
The Chicago Cubs finally head to one of those lavish, lush new stadiums – Citi Field, to meet/greet/take on the Mets. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation: The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need to know about every series this year. That way [...]

Enhanced Box Score: Astros 0, Cubs 2 – September 2, 2009
