When the guys are out of town it gives me a chance to explore Boise a little more.  However, as you can tell, that keeps me from keeping up with the droppings.  So let’s just dive in:

• The Idaho Statesman recaps Thursday’s, Friday’s and Saturday’s games against Yakima and then Sunday’s start of the Spokane series.
• The Idaho-Pres Tribune does the same, highlighting Thursday’s and Saturday’s wins over Yakima, their extra-inning loss on Friday and Sunday’s win in Spokane.
• InsidetheIvy.com has a feature story on Hawks catcher Richard Jones (you have to have a subscription to the site, but it’s worth it, trust me).
• Matt Swain over at WrigleyBound has a Q&A with Justin Bour.

Additionally, Hawks pitcher Su-Min Jung returned to Korea today for his freshman year of college.  As a result, the Chicago Cubs removed Jung from the Hawks roster and placed him on their restricted list.  The restricted list just means that the team still has contractual obligations to Jung, he just can’t play at the moment.

With Boise, Jung logged a 4.38 ERA in 24.2 innings.  He started
seven games for the Hawks with a 0-0 record, allowing 23 hits, 14 runs,
11 walks and striking out 17.

RHP Eduardo Figueroa will take Jung’s place in the rotation
on Tuesday against the Spokane Indians.  Currently, there is no
replacement for the roster.
