- Dempster forgot the base runners last night.
- The Cubs told their catcher to remind Dempster to check the runners, but Lou thought Ryan threw the ball OK, better in the later innings.
- Neither Lou nor Ron have an explanation for the lack of offense against the Padres.
- He did not expect the Cubs to lose 5 games in a row in San Diego.
- The Cubs have not done well on the West Coast. The biggest explanation is the lack of runs according to Lou.
- The Lineup: Theriot, Bradley, Lee, Ramirez, Kosuke, Soriano, Baker, Hill, & Harden.
Next, Ron talked with Matt Sinatro.
- Soto has had a tough year. Geovany reported to camp ready to go, but then when he went to the WBC he didn't play and was affected. As soon as he started to get back, he got injured. Geo hasn't had a chance to put it all together yet. Matt expects big things from him the rest of the month.
- Matt says that Geo is a good listener and a good learner. He is not throwing as well because of the injury, but now the Cubs have corrected that.
- Koyie Hill did very well filling in for Soto, he works very well with the pitchers, and took advantage of the opportunity when he had it.
Sam Fuld talked with Judd Sirott on Cubs 101 about his trip to the Navy Seals training camp.
- Sam got a enjoyed the experience, and learned what the Navy Seals go through.
- The SEALS daily grind makes the Cubs daily grind seem easy.
- Fuld was joined by at least 6 other teammates.
- Sam got the chance to shoot a gun for the first time.
- One week they get only 4 hours of sleep total.
- The guys that make it are very goal oriented, very motivated, and do whatever it takes to get through.
Carlos Zambrano will make a rehab start tomorrow in Peoria. Reed Johnson could return at the end of the next home stand.
And last but not least, Jon Heyman doesn't think Lou will be fired.
I'll keep you posted!
