They left four runners in scoring position while Buerhle was on the mound, numbers you can't make up for against a pitcher of his caliber, especially with him being as hot as he is currently.For example, in the second, Geovany Soto hit a screaming double, giving the Cubs a runner in scoring position with one out. However, even after a Jim Edmonds single and a walk to Henry Blanco, the Cubs were unable to score in the inning, letting Buerhle out of a jam and giving the Sox a chance to get an early lead.Which they did.In the bottom of the fourth, the Sox got their first run on a leadoff home run by Carlos Quentin, his 19th of the year.Then, in the fifth, Brian Anderson (of all people) hit a two-run homer to put the Sox up 3-0. Meanwhile, Buerhle refused to give the Cubs another chance to put him in a jam, retiring the side 1-2-3 in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings.The Cubs got their first run in the bottom of the seventh due to an error by Joe "Just Give Him a Gold Glove Already" Crede (as Anderson affectionately called him yesterday). However, they were still back two, and it wasn't about to get any easier for the Cubbies to make a comeback.In the bottom of the eighth, Jim Thome blasted one off of Joe Asciano, putting the Sox up 5-1.Bobby Jenks came in again to close things out for the Sox, and, for the first time this year, the Cubs have lost four games in a row.It is unbelievable to me that a team that can be so good at times has such trouble finding wins on the road. Come playoff time, that could become a major problem.But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet The Cubs have St. Louis hot on their heels, and there's a lot of ball left to be played.Hopefully, the Cubbies will find a way to make it when they're away Otherwise, I just don't see it happening this year..

In accordance with the original business plan, management undertook anumber of growth initiatives during the first few months of Fiscal 2009,anticipating that revenues would continue its historical growth rates. As aresult of the global economic melt-down that began to negatively affectrevenues in September 2008, management responded by postponing and curtailingcertain initiatives, in a cautionary move to conserve cash and better positionthe Company to weather the economic downturn. This caused un-plannedoperational losses because programs were stopped before they could becomeprofitable. However, management feels confident that the Company is nowwell-poised to re-engage growth initiatives relatively quickly once thecurrent economic downturn reverses course. Measures taken between September2008 and February 2009 to reorganize business, operational and financial planshave reduced committed expenditures for Fiscal 2010 by approximately $0.75million from Fiscal 2009, providing the Company greater flexibility to respondto the realities of the current economy.Considering the severity of the economic downturn, management is relativelypleased with Fiscal 2009 results.

Revenue for Fiscal 2009 decreased onlymarginally from the previous year by approximately 6%. The Company continuesto release new versions of its products, and to win new customers. Withapproximately $2.9 million of cash on hand at Fiscal 2009 year end, no longterm debt, and cash positive financial projections for Fiscal 2010, managementconsiders the Corporation to be adequately financed to sustain operations asanticipated, and deliver moderate revenue growth. Expectations are to retaincomfortable cash balances throughout Fiscal 2010 without any requirement forincurrence of long term debt or additional equity financings.Management will continue to seek out partnerships with other organizations tobetter leverage opportunities in current markets and/or to engage in newmarkets.

Management will also continue to investigate merger and acquisitionopportunities to assess accretive acquisition candidates, as well as potentialscenarios that might optimize Serenic's structure and growth.The Company anticipates publishing its full audited financial reports forFiscal 2009 on or about June 26th 2009, and to schedule the next annualgeneral meeting of the Company's shareholders on July 27th 2009.Forward Looking StatementsCertain statements contained in this press release, including statements whichmay contain words such as "could", "should", "expect", "anticipate","believe", "will", and similar expressions and statements relating to mattersthat are not historical facts, are forward looking statements.

The Penguins traded the rights to Gary Roberts and assistant captain Ryan Malone for a conditional draft choice.At first glimpse, this trade appears to only benefit the Lightning. It does add depth at right wing (Malone along with Martin St. Louis) and the wisdom of seasoned veteran Gary Roberts.Malone resigned for seven years andshould find himself on the second line, most likely line two of the power play, and possibly penalty kill.For the Pens, it frees up money to sign free agents or resign key UFA's, most notably defenseman Brooks Orpik who has yet to hear a number that he is willing to sign for.If the Penguins wish to remain a team in contention then they have to retain their young skilled players which is only going to get more costly.The trade also benefits the Penguins in terms of the conditional draft choice.
