Wow!
I didn't even hear about this news.
I was hoping he was going to be able to stay with the Cubs... he's
been moving around a whole lot in his career.

It's Lauren (ChewiesGurl), I have been having problems with that Yahoo
ID (I think someone stole my password or something), so, that's why I
haven't been in here... it was weird, I just had to join my own club
under another name.
But, hopefully the people with yahoo will be able to help me get my
password back!
