You usually write your posts in self-created columns, and SBNation 2.0 automatically makes every “enter” you press on a FanPost into a new paragraph. Go look at the HTML, you’ll find < p > and < / p > after each line. So don’t blame the Mac!

is a typical Borowski moment. April 16, 2004. Cubs had surged ahead 4-0, then battled back from being down 9-4 to the Reds. Enter Joe “Cardiac Kid” Borowski. With the Cubs trailing by a run, he managed to load the bases and then wiggled out of the jam. Minutes later, Sammy hit his 512th homer as a Cub, tying Ernie Banks and the game, then Alou launched a 1-0 pitch onto Waveland, giving Joe the win—timeless. Thanks for the memories Joe, and best of luck to a class guy!

as Ivy Walls used to call him. I wish Joe well, he did a yeoman’s job for the Cubs.

JoBo’s tank is on “E.” I really don’t see him landing anywhere.

Those words could be used to describe Joe Borowski. Joe was drafted 19 yeas ago by the White Sox. Joe showed himself to be a real battler, hanging on and fighting his way to MLB and back and back again.

Cheers to Joe Borowski!

How could you not like a guy like Borowski. He is the classic everyman overachiever who pitched on guts and guile. His stuff has forever sucked, but that didn’t prevent him from serving as an important cog for a handful of teams.

... probably got more out of limited talent than any player in the last 10-15 years. He had a nice run, and is a class act. Thanks for 2003, Joe—couldn’t have gotten to the playoffs without you.

I bet he lands somewhere. We all thought he was done many times and he was very serviceable for the Indians last year. I doubt he is a closer any more but as a setup guy, someone will give him a whirl. Joe is tougher than boiled owl, it won’t surprise me at all if we hear his name again on a MLB roster.

made 10 million dollars in his major league career, had very good years with the Cubs, the Marlins, and cleveland, came back from the scrap heap several times. Not bad for a 30something round draft choice.
