The Cubs' double-A affiliate West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx defeated Jacksonville 7-4 in the opening game of the Southern League championship series tonight. Jae-kuk Ryu, who had a 3.34 ERA in 169.2 innings during the regular season, pitched 6 innings for the win, despite giving up 4 runs. Second baseman and leadoff hitter Eric Patterson, who spent most of the season being the best player at low-A Peoria before his recent promotion, went 3-4 with a walk, double, and run scored. Brandon Sing and Matt Craig both homered. Jonathan Searles, David Aardsma, and Andy Shipman pitched three hitless innings out of the bullpen.

The Cubs called up Ben Grieve from Iowa today, reports MLB.com. Grieve hit .266/.371/.481 in 293 at-bats and 48 walks for Iowa this year. In two very brief stints with the big league club this year (14 at-bats and 5 walks), Grieve hit .357/.526/.357. "'I just assumed my season was over,' Grieve said." Why didn't the Cubs make this move a week ago when Iowa's season ended?
