A little difficult
ball seemed to hit at the seam of the grass and dirt and didn’t bounce up very much. Perfect defensive form might have still allowed him to get it, but he was charging the ball.

Usually it's "through the wicket",
a reference to croquet.
Also, you will sometimes hear “through the five-hole”, which is a term borrowed from ice hockey.

wow.
that’s a metric ton. His bullpen isn’t going to be able to keep that locked down.

Thinking out loud here (and avoiding work)...
I’m guessing that the reason the Cubs are carrying 13 pitchers and not calling up a position player is that Jim Hendry is trying to trade a pitcher (Wuertz, Lieber, Marshall, or Marquis) for a 4th OF before the ASB. I don’t think that Lou wants Pie back up, Hoffpauir duplicates Ward, Fuld can’t hit AA pitching, and Dubois and Kroeger are 4A players.
Any other ideas?

It'd better be Marquis, and Pie had better be up before the season is over...
