CHICAGO -- Fred McGriff is joining the Chicago Cubs after all. McGriff, who scrapped a trade to Chicago earlier this month by invoking his no-trade clause, was dealt from last-place Tampa Bay to the first-place Cubs on Friday for pitcher Manny Aybar and a player to be named later. McGriff, with 436 career homers, will be in uniform Sunday when the Cubs wrap up a four-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals. The Devil Rays, the worst team in baseball, and the Cubs reached a deal July 8 that would have sent McGriff to Chicago for two prospects. The Cubs also were expected to pick up a $6.75 million option for next season. But McGriff, a Tampa native who has two small children, decided at the time to stay put. ------------------ "The girls danced, started fondling me, I got aroused, they performed oral sex," Ewing said. "I hung around a little bit and talked to them, then I left."
Yeah, I just saw that. It sucks. For some reason I don't think it will matter too much. I feel like there is a curse hanging over the cubbies, second only to Boston's. I think this improves thier chances of making the post season which sucks, but they'll lose if they make it there. ------------------
Darn! For a second I thought my father was gonna play for the cubbies! and yes, his name is Fred McGriff In fact he lives in Georgia and had to have his phone number unlisted when Fred played for the Braves! ------------------ I figure the odds be 50/50, I just might have something to say.
Smokey, I'll have to ask him specifics. I just remember him complaining about it, but he never elaborated. I'll ask him over the weekend. ------------------ I figure the odds be 50/50, I just might have something to say.
