Cubs off day, Notes

Today is a scheduled off-day for the Cubs, and they will continue the series with the Rockies on Wednesday and finish it up. Jason Marquis will square up against Rich Harden at 1:20 on CSN.

Notes:

1. Geovany Soto is still expected to be back on Wednesday. He's been out for nearly a week because of a sore right shoulder. He's eager to get back. "I'm bored out of my mind," Soto said.
2. Lou stated that Gregg is sharpening up.
3. Milton Bradley will be back by the latest on Friday, but is just day-to-day. Aramis Ramirez will be back on Wednesday.
   
4. A couple of newspapers outlets have said that the Cubs sale could drag out past May.
