Another fake rally falls short, and the CUBS lose, 3-2.

How can a fake rally fall short? If it didn't fall short, it wouldn't be fake. ;)

I just saw the highlights of this game on Comcast SportsNet and there was a WGN graphic on the highlight reel. I thought you guys said it wasn't broadcast anywhere ... was it actually on WCIU?

Kosuke Fukudome played the entire game for Team Japan, starting in RF and then moving to CF in the 7th inning. He got a big hand and a lot of cheers from both the Team Japan fans and the Cubs fans each time he came to the plate. For the day, Kosuke went 1-4, with a line-drive RBI single and three fly outs. He made good contact all four times, and generally speaking, he looked a lot more like the Fukudome of the first part of 2008 than the last part.
