CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Jay Bruce, the National Leagues player of the week,
had to sit and watch for another day -- this time, because of raindrops.

. His manager hopes he doesnt cool off.
The opener of a series between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds was
postponed on Tuesday because several lines of thunderstorms moved
through the area. The game wasnt immediately rescheduled.
It meant that Bruce, who is one homer shy of matching a Reds record, had
to limit himself to batting practice instead of trying to hit one out
for the fifth game in a row -- something he wouldnt mind taking a swing
at.
"Uh, sure, why not?" Bruce said. "But Im not trying to think about any
of that kind of stuff. Its great. Id like to extend this week for as
long as I can and be consistent, really."
The rainout was more beneficial to the Cubs, who arrived in town early
Tuesday after a 6-4 loss in Philadelphia. The unexpected day off gave
their bullpen a chance to regroup and get a little healthier. Manager
Dale Sveum said after the postponement that reliever Scott Maine became
sick again and wouldnt have been available to pitch.
"So we would have been a little bit short," Sveum said.
It was the first postponement for both teams this season and the sixth
overall at Great American Ball Park, which opened in 2003. A storm moved
in during batting practice, followed by another line of storms. The
game was called 2 hours, 13 minutes after the originally scheduled
start, with more rain expected.
The NL Central rivals are scheduled to play a night game on Wednesday
and a day game on Thursday that completes the series. They have one more
series in Cincinnati from Aug. 17-19, when they would likely make up
the rained-out game.
The Reds decided to keep their rotation on turn, pushing everyone back
one day. Cincinnatis Bronson Arroyo will start on Wednesday against
Jeff Samardzija. Chicago made one change in its pitching plans, moving
left-hander Paul Maholm back from Wednesday to Friday against the
Dodgers.
Chicagos biggest problem during an 8-15 April was its lack of offence.
The Cubs are last in the majors with only nine homers, five of them by
Bryan LaHair. Alfonso Soriano batted .237 with no homers and two doubles
in April.
Told that Soriano was hopeful hed start hitting once the calendar
changed, Sveum said, "The calendar?"
He wasnt thinking about the monthly calendar, but the 2012 calendar.
"Ive got to find another job then," Sveum said, laughing.
The Reds also struggled to hit in April, but have started to find their
stride lately. Bruce has led the way, going 10 for 21 in six games last
week with four homers. He has homered in four consecutive games, one shy
of the club record shared by Ted Kluszewski, Johnny Bench, Ken Griffey
Jr. and Adam Dunn.
The Reds were off on Monday, when Bruce was chosen as the NLs player of
the week. He got another day of rest because of the rain.
Bruce had career highs with 32 homers and 97 RBIs last season. He was
the NLs player of the month in May last year, when he batted .342 with
12 homers and 33 RBIs. Hes known for staying hot for several weeks at a
time, then going into a deep slump.
"Ive had this before," Bruce said. "Its not this (type) of week thats
the problem. If I have a problem, its the other weeks. Im just trying to
minimize that."
Manager Dusty Baker pointed out that the Cubs are likely to pitch Bruce
carefully during their series.
"Sometimes a player whos hot tends to cool off the next series because
of how you pitch em," Baker said.
NOTES: Baker said INF Miguel Cairo, on the disabled list since April 17
with a strained left hamstring, is expected to start a minor league
rehab assignment this week. ... The rainout means Reds RHP Homer Bailey
will wind up pitching on his 26th birthday Thursday. Bailey has allowed
only three earned runs in his last two starts, covering 13 1-3 innings.
... The Cubs expect to activate RHP Ryan Dempster off the DL to start
Thursdays game. Dempster has been sidelined by a strained right thigh.
... The Reds wont have to face Maholm, who beat them 6-1 on April 21 at
Wrigley Field and has won his last two starts.

. LOUIS -- The St.
BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox have the reliable starter they sought in
Ryan Dempster.
The Gibsons, B.C., native has pitched at least 200 innings in four of
the past five seasons, impressive to general manager Ben Cherington but
not so special to Dempster.
"Thats your responsibility as a starting pitcher in the big leagues,"
Dempster said Wednesday at a news conference after his US$26.5 million,
two-year deal was finalized. "The norm used to be 300 and somehow we
worked it down to like 200. Even 180 seems to suffice."
He said he works hard to stay in shape "so that I can take on that
workload."
Boston had just one starter reach the 200-mark this year, with
Jon Lester pitching 205 1-3 innings.
"Its important," Cherington said. "Ryans got a history of being very
effective and a really good pitcher. The consistency hes shown in taking
the ball every fifth day was important to us. I think as a team when
you start having to fill in for guys, if we dont have a reliable
rotation and you start filling in with guys from down below or guys from
the bullpen or whatever, its not so much that move but youve inevitably
weakened another area of your team."
Dempster gets $13.25 million a year and would earn an additional
$250,000 each season for pitching 190 innings.
"We went into this off-season wanting to add a proven starter to the
rotation, someone that has a history of success, reliability and someone
who we thought would embrace coming to Boston and everything that comes
with pitching and playing in Boston, on and off the field," Cherington
said. "We think Ryan is the perfect fit for that."
The 35-year-old right-hander adds experience to a rotation that
underachieved this year as the Red Sox went 69-93 and finished last in
the AL East in ttheir only season under manager Bobby Valentine. Kaepernick Super Bowl Jersey.
He was fired and replaced by John Farrell.
"Obviously theres a lot of room to go up," Dempster said. "Ben and the
organization have done an incredible job of adding a lot of really good
players and good baseball guys. So were just going to go into spring
training and work as hard as we can and go out there every day and leave
it all on the field and play as hard as we can to get the best out of
each other."
Lester and Clay Buchholz had disappointing years and John Lackey returns
after missing the season following elbow-ligament replacement surgery.
Left-hander Felix Doubront was in the rotation for most of the season.
Dempster reached the major leagues in 1998 with the Florida Marlins and
has a 124-124 record with a 4.33 ERA. A Canadian, he said he is
undecided about playing in the World Baseball Classic.
But he is confident the Red Sox can reach the playoffs for the first
time since 2009.
"Thats why we play," he said. "The money and things like that in
baseball are great. But I came here because I believe this team has a
chance of winning as much as anybody else. Ive always believed that
should be your mentality going into any season. Because its proven day
in, day out every teams going to win 50 games, every teams going to lose
50 games. Its what you do with the other 62 that matter."
He went 12-8 with a 3.38 ERA this year. After starting 5-5 with a 2.25
ERA in his ninth season with the Chicago Cubs, he was traded to the
Texas Rangers and went 7-3 with a 5.03 ERA. That was his first stint in
the American League.
"Its going to be a little bit different not being able to hit," he
joked. "Theyre going to miss my bat in the lineup, but well get through
that."
