Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the National League Central. The Cardinals have bucked the league-wide trend of thriving at home, doing about as well at Busch Stadium as they do on the road. Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch takes a close look at the Cardinals’ surprising lineup. After recent flareups in his elbow, former ace Chris Carpenter is feeling good again. He will throw for the Cardinals today before resuming his rehab in Florida. Indians lefty C.C. Sabathia faces the White Sox tonight and there figures to be an overflow crowd of scouts watching the reigning Cy Young Award winner at U.S. Cellular Field. We all know the Cubs will be watching, but so will the Brewers. Meanwhile, the Brewers have had no problem scoring early, but they continue to come up empty late in games. Frustrated by the exploding maple bats, Reds slugger Adam Dunn has switched to ash bats. Check back later for updates. ... Source: blogs.suntimes.com --- 49 days ago
Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the National League Central. Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the Cardinals’ biggest need before the July 31 non-waivers trade deadline is a left-handed reliever. Former Cub Matt Clement concluded his rehab stint Wednesday, but he’s not quite ready to join the Cardinals, who are mulling their next move with the right-hander. Can’t imagine the Cubs — especially during the Sam Zell era — giving their fans a shot at such inexpensive tickets, but give credit to the Cardinals and their radio partner for selling select game-day tickets for $5.50 each. Hey, look, the Brewers actually scored late — right when they needed to most. Hitting .186 over his last 10 games with no home runs and only three RBI, Ryan Braun was given the night off by Brewers manager Ned Yost. News flash from Dusty Baker on his last-place Reds: ‘‘We have to play better in our division.’’ The Pirates will have to do without closer Matt Capps until at least September.

Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the National League Central. Starting Mark Mulder tonight gives the Cardinals a chance to gauge their pitching before the July 31 non-waivers trade deadline. Meanwhile, Adam Wainwright and Chris Carpenter could return to the Cardinals’ rotation by next month. Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch takes a closer look at the pitching deals made by the Cubs and Brewers. Here’s how the Brewers reacted to the Cubs’ acquisition of right-hander Rich Harden a day after CC Sabathia was acquired by Milwaukee. Inside this Hal McCoy notebook, we see that Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman, making his first visit to Wrigley Field since calling Cubs fans the worst in baseball, had few problems on the North Side, though he did enter the ballpark with a bodyguard. Brennaman was hard to miss, wearing a bright red shirt. ‘‘If they want a piece of me, they know where to find me,’’ he said. ‘‘I asked to sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ in the seventh inning, but they turned me down.’’ If you want to read more about Brennaman’s day in Chicago, the Cincinnati Enquirer details his visit to Navy Pier.

Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the National League Central. Brewers manager Ned Yost has already penciled in the one-two punch of Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia for the four-game series against the Cubs that closes July. Not waiting on making the Sabathia deal is huge. The lefty will start tonight against the Rockies, the first of five potential starts before the July 31 non-waivers trade deadline. This deal is being compared to the Aug. 30 trade of Hall of Famer Don Sutton to the Brewers, an acquisition that helped them reach the World Series in 1982, which is also the last time the Brewers reached the playoffs. General manager Doug Melvin sent a message with the splashy move: ‘‘We're going for it.’’ Lost in all the hoopla in Milwaukee was the move that put starter Jeff Suppan on the disabled list. Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch takes a look at the pitching powerhouse that is the NL Central. Meanwhile, pitcher Adam Wainwright could begin a throwing program this week. The Astros are looking to get ace Roy Oswalt back Friday for a start against the Nationals. Check back later for updates. ... Source: blogs.suntimes.com --- 50 days ago
Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the National League Central. A year after a surprising World Series run, the Rockies are primed to be sellers before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and the Cardinals reportedly have their sights set on outfielder Matt Holliday and left-handed reliever Brian Fuentes, who would be a nice fit in the Cubs’ bullpen. Meanwhile, Mark Mulder’s comeback featured some ninth-inning duty out of the bullpen. Old pal Buster Olney at ESPN says the Brewers are the frontrunners in the C.C. Sabathia sweepstakes, which made general manager Doug Melvin smile. But Melvin figures to be active before the deadline, saying: ‘‘We lost the division by two games last year. One player could make the difference in two or three games.’’ The Astros have been a remarkable second-half team in recent seasons and some in Houston believe they are primed for another late run. Their victory Monday came at the expense of an injury scare with ace Roy Oswalt. Check back later for updates. ... Source: blogs.suntimes.com --- 46 days ago
Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the National League Central. The Brewers reportedly are restructuring their offer for Indians ace C.C. Sabathia, a move that could open the field for the Cubs and other contenders in the derby for the ace left-hander. Meanwhile, there is concern struggling setup man Guillermo Mota is tipping his pitches. The Cardinals are expected to activate shortstop Cesar Izturis before their series finale Sunday against the Cubs. St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bernie Miklasz admits Cardinals fans at Busch Stadium made the right call be giving the Cubs’ Jim Edmonds a warm welcome-back greeting. Meanwhike, broadcaster Joe Buck apologized for his ill-advised shots at baseball. Fox Sports’ lead baseball voice had said on ESPN radio that he ‘‘barely’’ watched baseball on TV anymore, adding, ‘‘as far as sitting down and watching a sporting event, that’s just not part of my day, it’s not part of my night. I’ll be honest with you, watching ‘The Bachelorette’ is.’’ Pirates second baseman Freddy Sanchez, the 2006 National League batting champion, is stuck in the worst slump of his career.

Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the National League Central. ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips, former GM of the Mets, says the Cubs still have the edge in the NL Central even after the Brewers landed CC Sabathia. ‘‘Right now, if I’m the Cubs, I don’t trade my starting pitching for anybody else’s starting staff in the game,’’ Phillips said. ‘‘And I don’t trade my bullpen for anybody else’s bullpen in the game.’’ Still, the Brewers feel pretty good about themselves. ‘‘This team,’’ owner Mark Attanasio said, ‘‘has become a national team.’’ Just imagine their excitement if the Brewers were in first place. Major League Baseball gave Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols the cold shoulder when he asked to be part of the Home Run Derby during All-Star festivities next week. The NL squad is set, featuring Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla, Astros first baseman Lance Berkman, Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun and Phillies second baseman Chase Utley. In this same notebook, the Cards shoot down speculation Barry Bonds will be signed by the team, whih did, at one time more than a year ago, have interest in the slugger. Reds ace Aaron Harang, who might be trade bait, is expected to return in two weeks after an MRI revealed no major issues with his sore forearm. Check back later for updates. ...

Here's a quick glance at what's happening around the National League Central. The Cubs and Giants are on an interesting collision course. The Cubs have lost six straight on the road and the Giants have lost 14 of 17 at home, where they host the North Siders for the next four games, beginning tonight. Just as manager Lou Piniella warned weeks ago about the current stretch being critical for the Cubs, the Cardinals had their own rough stretch — and handled things much better. The Brewers are happy to have interleague play come to a close. Maybe a little turbulence is just what the Astros needed. Check back later for updates. ... Source: www.chron.com --- 20 days ago

Washington Post Playoff atmosphere' heightens drama in NL Central USA Today - 2 hours ago By Devin Clancy, USA TODAY October baseball is guaranteed to be a little colder in Milwaukee, but Brewers and Chicago Cubs fans aren't likely to find a more exciting game than last night's series opener.

Filed under: Chicago , Houston , Cubs , Reds , Astros , Pirates , NL Central , MLB All-Star Game , Cincinnati , Pittsburgh Maybe the All-Star Game is a meaningless to the players and just an excuse for Bud Selig to admire himself for a week. That doesn't mean that the selections should be stupid. Today, the MLB 'Haus gives you All-Star Grievances . Grievance: Nate McLouth over Jason Bay - It's not that McLouth isn't a deserving All-Star, because he is. The problem is that he's mired in a terrible slump, putting up a .209/.258/.355 line with two homers over the last month or so (prior to today's game). There's a decent chance that by the end of the year, McLouth will have faded completely. Still, he made the team over Jason Bay, who's already a two-time All-Star and is slugging along like he has every year of his career besides an injury-filled 2007. It should take more than a flash in the pan to make an All-Star team. Grievance: Miguel Tejada ? Really?- After a down year in Baltimore last year, Tejada got off to a decent start this year. That's all quickly gone to hell, as he's hitting .198 since May 30th. Tejada's not an All-Star, he's a guy in the twilight of his career that Ed Wade is going to regret trading for by the end of the season. Grievance: Adam Dunn isn't even a snub- I get that Dunn's only hitting .228. Aren't we to the point of enlightened fanhood that people can look beyond that and realize that his .895 OPS makes h ...
