In Game 5-7 Notes

Some Notes:
  • Derrek Lee sat out for the second game in a row tonight with neck stiffness. The bulging disk in his neck could be serious, but the Cubs are not planning on placing him on the DL.
  • The Cubs will have to make a roster move before tomorrow's game. Randy Wells, the scheduled starter, is not yet on the big league roster. Either Bobby Scales or someone else will have to be sent down.
  • If the bullpen continues to look like they need help, they might get some. Jeff Stevens could be called up from AAA according to the Tribune.
  • According to some sources, the Indians have signed Luis Vizcaino. Not sure about this, but I'll keep you posted on it.

Cubbie Birthdays: John Flavin is 67!

This Date in Cubs History:

2008- Jon Lieber became the second Cub in franchise history to allow 4 home runs in one inning! Votto, Dunn, Bako, and Hairston Jr. all go deep in the Reds 9-0 win.

Cubs lead in a nail biter, I'll keep you posted!
