Soto

cracks a single to center. 1 on 1 out.

And here comes JIMMY BALLGAME!

’’If somebody had told me we were going to lose Soriano for eight weeks, lose [Carlos] Zambrano and Kerry Wood for a couple of weeks apiece, and then at the same time lose [Reed] Johnson, and then when we played the American League not have a DH [then-injured Daryle Ward], and be in first place by two games, I’d tell you we were pretty fortunate.’’ Lou Piniella (7/23/08)

Lou comes running out

calling time. Ronny Cedeno in to pinch run for Soto. Blanco will catch if we go into the 10th.
