The of the major weak links on the Cubs team is their defense. In today's game against the Dodgers, the D showed its ugly head once again. I would even say that it cost us the game. Ramirez had the poor throw to Lee, who usually eats those things up. Ramirez always has a strong arm, but the accuracy aspect is always iffy. Fukudome had the fly ball, but he dove somewhat late causing the ball to get under him. Although he has been quite excellent in right field, that single play led the team and Zambrano towards the lose today. Theriot needs to be able to catch a throw from Soto. I think that if he would of caught two balls today, then the stolen bases would have gone for naught. I'm just really disappointed not only from the defense but the inability to work the count. DERREK LEE, what is up with you? You swing early in the count at bad balls, you take the strikes, and your defense (although at times spectacular) has gone down a bit. All in all our team needs tomorrow's game to avoid a Dodger series win. Also, we haven't lost three in a row, which is a very impressive stat. Looking on the bad side, Joe Morgan is announcing. On a different aspect, our draft pick, Andrew Cashner, is quite the stud from everything I've read. He is compared to Max Scherzer, throws 96-98 mph, has a nasty slider, and could possibly come up to the big club this year. Man that would be a tough bullpen if Cashner do what people think he can do.
