Welcome back Alfonso! Coming off the DL and leading off for the Cubs, he got progressively better as the night went on. He struck out his first time up. An rbi and two fly ball outs were followed by a double in the eighth inning.His performance was far from the best on the team, though his return [read more...]

Lou says not to worry. In fact, after the team hit so well without batting practice on Sunday, he decided to cancel batting practice Tuesday and Wednesday. Relax, Lou says.
