Just checking in to enter my weekly request to have the Cubs cut Alfucksucka and O'Leery, even though both of them met with some success in the past week. When an occassion is noteworthy merely because it was successful, rather than its context...remember the scene from Little Big League when the kid was the manager, and his favorite player hadn't had a hit in months, and the guy finally gets a hit, and the kid is jumping up and down, and his pitching coach/mentor reminds him that "when you're getting this excited about a seeing-eye single, it's time to make a change"?

That's how I feel about the Freak's three-inning stint in Friday's game.

Also, put me down as "OPPOSED" to any trades for washed-up second basemen like Eric Young, Tony Womack or Marlon Anderson. I was slightly intrigued with Adam Kennedy, who is everything Bobby Hill is supposed to be. Why would Anaheim trade him? Dunno, guess that's why they haven't.
