Apparently, some guys were just waived, and taken, recently.
Who knows who was waived, and when.
But an NL team just claimed Heilman.

With a 95-mph fastball coming in, it makes sense to slap the ball to the right side.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about that show. Since I don’t have cable/HBO, I’m a few years behind the times – I’m currently working through the Sopranos.

Good night, Cubs fan
Despite some trolls, I think today was pretty tame — and there were some good discussions. 2009 clearly isn’t our year. But we’ve been in this situation before. I’m kinda looking forward to playing some kids and regrouping for 2010.
I really hope
Ramirez and Soriano have played their last 2009 games. Let them get healthy for next year.
I want Bradley’s bat back, but if needs a break to get his head right… then that’s what he should get.

There's no point
risking the health of these guys for what promises to be a pretty ugly balance of the season. When you drop 2 of 3 to arguably the worst team in baseball at home, there’s really not a lot of hope left in the tank. Give Rami and Sori (and the delicate flower Bradley) the rest of the season to mend. Send ROY/Sophomore Skid Soto to a fat farm. And fire sale whatever tix are left for this season because the fannies are slowly going to stop filling the seats. Oh wait..they are still serving beer so the seats will remain fairly full.
