  1. Good post, I believe our single A team is by far the best. But there are a few gems above that in Jay Jackson and shark boy. God how damn was it to trade Micheal Wuertz, the dero trade i've learned to deal with it.

  2. Thanks Phil, Yeah the Micheal Wuertz trade has not payed off. The Cubs could use him in the bullpen and they released the minor leauge outfielder that we got for him. Also, Jason Marquis is tied for the most wins in the NL with 7.
