SATURDAY'S GAME AT SAN DIEGO: Good performance last night as Moises Alou, Sammy Sosa, and Aramis Ramirez hit home runs in the Cubs 7-5 victory over the Padres.

BAD FACT CHECKING REPORT: In today's Chicago Tribune, Paul Sullivan reports on the Cubs shortstop situation,

They drafted Willie Montanez with the No. 3 pick of the 2000 draft, but Montanez never developed into a proficient fielder or hitter.

Actually the Cubs drafted Luis Montanez.

Willie Montanez played in the major leagues first in 1966 then from 1970 until 1982.
