THAT ball made it?

Wednesday Photos

There wasn't much that was worth remembering about last night's loss. Here are three photos of interest.

STRETCH!
Ryan Dempster doing his pregame warmups

Out or safe?
Ronny Cedeno tagged out at the plate in the fifth inning (why is Alfonso Soriano standing there instead of taking second?)

We need 'Go Cubs Go'!

Saturday Photos

There's not much we all want to remember about the last two days. However, here are some photos of the key moments in Saturday's loss.

Nice bunt!
Ted Lilly lays down a perfect bunt...

Out? I think not.
... but after initially being called safe, is ruled out by 1B umpire Tim Welke

He knows he should have swung
Geovany Soto is called out on strikes with the bases loaded and two out in the last of the 8th

Sunday Photos: Cubs 6, Cardinals 2

Some more memories from last night's big win:

This led to the first run of the game
Aramis Ramirez slides into second base safely after Ryan Ludwick's error in the second

Starting a rally
Alfonso Soriano pulling into second after leading off the five-run sixth with a double

Hurt again
Three batters later, Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter has to leave the game with "tightness" in his arm. Again. (Note ESPN camera guy on the field)

You are OUT!
Jeff Samardzija striking out Ryan Ludwick to end the seventh

Great catch!
Still playing great defense even while he's in a hitting slump, Kosuke Fukudome makes a diving catch on Felipe Lopez's sinking liner in the 9th
