Welcome Back Mark

So the brew crew goes out and gets a DE named Captian Crunch. Cute. I heard he pitched a whole 6 innings in his debut, then proceeded to eat every hot dog available in the ball park. Good pickup!Have the beer swilling bombers gone insane? Such a move was sure to prompt a response from the big boys of the central, my Cubbies, and what a response it was. We got Mark Prior back! Ok, ok, so Rich Harden isnt as durable as the Pry Guy, but he does come with a 2.34 ERA, and (get ready for it Volpe) 92 Ks in 77 innings. And you know what else we got? Chad Gaudin! Yah, the guy who had to run far, far away from the AL East just so the nightmares would go away. Lets sum this up. The Cubs just traded for 2/5's of a rotation halfway through the season, and they were already in 1st place! I cant say this enough. We were in 1st place with a rotation of Zambs, Dempster, Lilly, and a bunch of long relievers. Now we got some legit pitchers. Goose bumps, people, goose bumps.read more
