feet by the end of the season you'll never want to see anybody's bare feet the rest of your life. toe nails missing, toe nails in the wrong direction, blisters, bruises and bunions. shoes and socks on, please. >> to this day, i still get occasional picture messages on my cell phone from the former manager in arizona, pictures of the feet just to make my day. >> if you have more toes than feet that you have an issue with. >> once again, if you've heard taken a foul tip off the point of your big toe, that's not a good feeling. i'd rather be hit anywhere else than there. >> swing and a miss, byrd

strikes out. anywhere else? >> anywhere else. >> that slider from chad qualls, that has been his go-to pitch for years. he feels like it's going to be a very usable pitch for him once again. one out, here's ramirez. has the sign from the catcher, sat at the waist, and

strike 1. >> nice ending to the a rod-dallas braden fued. braden gave a rod a perfect game poster with a personal message on it and also gave him a t-shirt that the a's made in this series, get off my mound. arod signed 10 of those shirts and bra den signed them and they'll give 10 away for charity. good ending to the story. ralphiel soriano will

replace mariano rivera. nagging injuries keeping rivera out of action. all star game, probably done for a year, has a detached lat muscle behind his right shoulder, and had to leave the game early last night. white sox leading the angels 5-1 late on the south side. 3 and 1 on ramirez. started after a long rain delay. they started about an hour after us and caught up to us. the kick, 3-1, fly ball

deep to left, on the warning track. and just like that, it's 8-3. now has 3 homers over the last two games, and 7 rbis. >> aramis ramirez, throughout his career, has always been known as a hitter, if you throw the breaking ball in the strike zone he's a breaking all hitter. it was a slider in the corner and ramirez was all over it.

what a series he's had. remember he got robbed of a double by cole gillespie on one of the catches of the year on monday. >> and with that, the cubs might be able to save carlos marmol. he was in a safe spot but not a safe situation for justin bird. the bottom of the night as he grounds to him. >> that's kind of been the story of the diamondbacks season, hanging around staying close as you mentioned earlier, home running team, you feel like they're in the ball game but from the 8th inning on that

bullpen has been kerosene. the score holds up, starlin castro will get the game-running rbi, 2-run single in the 5th, 5-3, and now 8-3 bay the blast by ramirez. swing and a miss to end the inning. >> if you need insurance, call on aramis ramirez. [ announcer ] cc looks a bit rattled out there,

and dave eiland is coming out for a visit. dave, i think we should put an organic garden in that bullpen. i think we should organize a group hug for all of new york. mobile classrooms -- that was your idea, wasn't it? how about a pizza party for all of pittsburgh? yeah, that's a great idea. senior prom for senior citizens. i don't know about that one. [ male announcer ] pepsi's spending millions to fund refreshing ideas. vote for ideas you care about at refresheverything.com. see that girl in the stands? she got some great ideas. see that girl in the stands? copd doesn't just make it hard to breathe... it makes it hard to do a lot of things. and i'm a guy who likes to go exploring ... get my hands dirty... and try new things. so i asked my doctor if spiriva could help me breathe better. spiriva is the only once-daily

inhaled maintenance treatment for both forms of copd... which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva keeps my airways open... to help me breathe better for a full 24 hours. and it's not a steroid. spiriva does not replace fast acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. stop taking spiriva and call your doctor right away if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, have vision changes or eye pain... or have problems passing urine. tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, problems passing urine or an enlarged prostate... as these may worsen with spiriva. also discuss the medicines you take... even eye drops. side effects include dry mouth, constipation and trouble passing urine. i'm glad i'm taking spiriva everyday because breathing better is just better. ask your doctor if once-daily spiriva is right for you.

>> 8-3 cubs, stay tuned, wgn news will follow the game. fans already getting out the broom. not a very big broom. right-hander justin berg. berg called up from iowa on monday. second appearance since coming back. 2/3 of an inning. no runs allowed for justice, last night, 0-2 to chris young.

>> carlos marmol is sitting down after the home run. i don't think he's taking the spike though. >> 1 and 2. >> knowing how much carlos could use the night off tonight, but knowing carlos the way we do, i'm sure he wouldn't be happy getting in there taking a strike at the diamondbacks' lineup.

the budweiser play of the game, starlin castro, right after the diamondbacks had tied it up, the cubs had a 2-run lead, budweiser with a full flavor and crisp finish, it's what we do. a big play earlier in that inning was the mark reynolds decision was to chase him back to third and not get a routine out at 1st. >> castro might not have even had a chance to drive in a couple and reynolds had thrown to first. >> you saw what castro had on that to throw in a couple of runs is the approach he would like his runners work towards. he says it has to be a perfect square pitch to drive it into home.

sometimes you just need to make contact. castro was fooled by the pitch but found the ball and found the hole on the left side of the infield. it will look like a line drive in the paper tomorrow. >> johnson lifts into center, no problem for marlon byrd. >> ball 1.

>> tomorrow night, a late night from los angeles here on wgn. we'll be here at 9:00. >> up in the air, marlon byrd again, and the first time ever,
