This from Sundays Trib:

NOT IN TIME

He might have been ready if the Cubs had made the World Series. Todd
Hollandsworth, who could have received some votes for team MVP two months ago,
said his fractured leg is improving nicely.

"I'm almost ready to come back, maybe two weeks away," he said. "My leg is
already growing calcium-wise. Mentally, I'm ready to grind out 190 games next
year."

Hollandsworth is not signed for next season but wants to come back.

Thanks Chewiesgirl for making me a moderator, I'm honored and I'll try to keep
supplying any Todd news when I find it. I'm really bummed he didn't get to come
back for at least one more game this season. It seemed like every player I
really loved went down this year and went down hard. From Holly to Gonzo, if
some had happened to Michael Barrett I was going to start to think I was part of
the goat curse, lol.

I guess all we can do is set out sights on 2005...

Go Cubbies!
