Chicago Sports: Rogers: A day of watching baseball on TV (RR)

Oops. Doodoo nikupoop...the latest from Rogers.

• It kills you when your team doesn’t run the bases well. Just look at the Cubs. Or the White Sox.

...Fukudome ran the Cubs out of the seventh inning in a 0-0 game with his overly aggressive dash off second base when a pitch caromed away from Milwaukee catcher Jason Kendall. He stopped halfway to third when he saw the ball hadn’t gone far, and retreating to second wasn’t an option. Mark DeRosa, who had taken his cue from Fukudome, was motoring into second.

Oops. Deddo niku (or dead meat, if you don’t have access to an online English-Japanese dictionary).

• Cubs manager Lou Piniella should think about moving Felix Pie into the No. 7 spot. He’s not going to get anything to hit with the pitcher behind him. Alfonso Soriano, a 70-RBI disappointment a year ago, is no No. 2 hitter either.

• Why doesn’t Cincinnati cut the cord with Adam Dunn? Yes, he hits home runs, but, man, the strikeouts. He couldn’t lay off ball four leading off the ninth, not even with the Reds trailing by two runs, and Dusty Baker lost his debut in Cincinnati 4-2. Dunn isn’t the future; Jay Bruce is.
