Big Z..Cubs Win...31...Notes

Big Z was taken out of the game in the bottom of the fifth inning with a hamstring injury, it looks to be a strain. He had an MRI late Saturday afternoon and will get the details tomorrow, it looks like the He'll miss a start to two. But If he does need to miss a start the Cubs will have to call up a Minor League which means he'll go on the DL or someone will be sent down.

LOU: "I would say right now that's in jeopardy (next start), and if I had to guess, I'd say no (to possibly let him pitch)," Piniella said

Today the Cubs got the win for the third straight game. Big Z got the win, with a little help from Derrek Lee with his go ahead grand slam. Mike Fontenot also had a homer.

Ramirez did have a good workout on Sunday and Lou Piniella said the third baseman was "almost sure" for Monday night's game against the Giants.

Today was a special day for Chicago as the Cubs retired Greg Maddux and Fergie Jenkins. Both were recognized with there names beginning a new life on each foul poll.

Today I was at the game and it was a special moment when they pulled there flags on each foul poll, I'd like to congratulate both Fergie Jenkins and Greg Maddux.
