It's the end of an error the Cubs, who lose two great guys in Lilly and Theriot.
I'll update when more info comes along.
any word if he will be in Colorado for tonights game?
ReplyDeleteI am a little biased as Theriot was one of my favorite Cubs. It does not appear they have up-graded the 2b position. Does this mean it was to save a little money and is that where they are headed in thwe future ?
