Notes on the Cubs front

BREAKING: Lou Piniella pulled Dempster after seven innings for precautionary reasons due to a blister he's been fighting. Dempster will be re-evaluated on Tuesday and might have to be pushed back a couple of days but will not miss his next start.

• Expect Fontenot to play the majority of the time at third until Aramis returns. I personally want Jake Fox at third and will tolerate the defense.
• Rich Harden has made good progress, and Lou hinted that he could return at the end of the upcoming road schedule.
• Big Z has thrown a bullpen session before Saturdays game, to stay on track for his next start in HotLanta.
• Tyler Colvin, Cubs' No. 1 Draft pick in 2006, has been promoted to AA. You might remember he had Tommy John surgery which ended his 2008 season.

O yeah the Cubs won today 7-0 against those d*mn Dodgers.

It looks like Bradley and Fontenot are heating up, combined they've gone 5/7 on Saturday. I'm waiting anxiously for Soriano to go on a 23 for 60 stretch in which he hits 10 homeruns in 12 games.
