Aramis Ramirez will try running at Wrigley Field and if the test does not go any better than the one in Arizona did than Aramis will be headed for the DL, according to Tom Singer, who filled in for Carrie Muskat of Cubs.com in Arizona. This is one of the worse things that could happen to this lineup. Ramirez is the force in the middle of the order, and the Cubs do not have a solid backup for him. They will get to call someone up from the Minor Leagues to replace A-Ram on the roster, and Lou has said that Bobby Scales will be the guy that gets the call. I don't understand that because many Cubs Sites have been reporting how hot Jake Fox is and Fox does play some 3rd base and could be used as a solid pinch hitter.
Cubbie Birthdays!

According to the Chicago Sun Times, Aramis Ramirez ran much better today and will not be placed on the DL. Bobby Scales was in Chicago today but will not be with the team. The Cubs are not going to make a roster move before the game. Aramis Ramirez is not in the lineup for todays game.
