The Cubs will need Zambrano if they want a shot at getting in to the World Series. With the addition of Rich Harden and a healthy Alfonso Soriano they will have more than just a shot.
Carlos Zambrano allowed only one hit in eight innings -- a second-inning homer by Adam Dunn -- and retired the final 20 batters he faced Wednesday night as the Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-1.
the Cubs want to play it safe with Alfosno Soriano and I don't blame them.
The Chicago Cubs made it official Wednesday: injured left fielder Alfonso Soriano won't be able to play in next in the All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium next week.
Quentin has been an amazing player for the White Sox during their first half and has put up amazing numbers which lead the ball club in almost every hitting category.
Carlos Quentin hit a pair of two-run homers and the Chicago White Sox fought back from a five-run deficit to score the go-ahead run on an eighth-inning balk in a 7-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.
The New York Yankees have had a very disappointing first half but I wouldn't count the amount. If they can pick up another arm before the trading deadline they will have a shot to contend for the pennant.
Bobby Abreu hit a game-winning double off Grant Balfour in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees cooled off the Tampa Bay Rays with a 2-1 victory Wednesday.
there has been much talk of the New York Yankees trading some of their older talented players for some young prospects and vice versa. I don't believe the Yankees think they have the team they need to compete for the pennant. Brian Cashman will have to decide if they punt the season to pick up some future prospects and get rid of some dead salary.
Hal Steinbrenner emerged from a closed-door meeting in manager Joe Girardi's office Wednesday to say he was disappointed in the New York Yankees' performance this year yet reluctant to trade prospects for veterans in hopes of a spark.
