Kyle Schwarber saves his anger for the baseball

BOSTON -- Considering his earnest demeanor and body type, you might think Chicago Cubs leadoff man Kyle Schwarber would turn into the Incredible Hulk when things don't go his way at the plate. But as manager Joe Maddon said before Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox, there is no place for anger when another plate appearance is around the corner.

So when Schwarber stepped into the batter's box in the seventh inning of a 4-4 tie, he kept his composure.

The result was a lefty-on-lefty bloop to center that plated the go-ahead run in the Cubs' 7-4 win.
