40-man Roster Cut Down to 37 and Other Notes

  • Brad Snyder has been removed from the 40-man roster.
  • The umpires asked both managers if they could stop yesterday's game early because of the wind and both teams were fined with it.
  • Lou will not hold Carlos Marmol's outing against him because of the winds last night.
  • Piniella told Len and Bob that he is going to play Kosuke as much as he can in center field the next week or so.
  • Lou loves the intensity he is seeing from Milton Bradley.
  • He wants to see Kosuke hit the ball to all fields this year.
  • The Cubs are going to announce the closer on Sunday and the backup up catcher is close to being decided also. Lou told Bob he get tired of being asked about these things.
  • It sounds like the Cubs coaches are having a hard time deciding who to keep in the bullpen.
  • Piniella almost used the DH today because they wanted Reed Johnson to face left handed pitching. Then Lou realized that Big Z was pitching and said he would have had a nightmare on his hands if he didn't let Zambrano hit.

Next Saturday night Cubs forever will play on WGN at 7:00 PM CT. The Randy Hundley Fantasy Camp show will play at 9:30. These are both great Cubs specials, so if you have not seen them yet you should check them out.

The most interesting think in the notes today is the fact that the Cubs have removed Brad Snyder from the 40-man roster. They removed Robnett earlier this week. Are the Cubs planning to make a few signings or maybe a trade???

We can only wait and see!
