Minor league deal. I fully expect him to be a Cub killer late in the year.

He's declined each of the last 3 years and was awful last year. He better not hurt us this year, although I'm not sure it can get any worse than Augie having a 1.101 OPS in the playoffs against us last year.

But I think I recall that Augie was one of Sutcliffe's difference makers in that series, so it wasn't unexpected.

(Theriot was one for the Cubs of course.)

If Chad Tracy is healthy, Trot is in the minors.

Watch out guys, the DBacks could overtake the Cards as the majors leaders in GRIT.

I think the Aguie pwnage was easily the most frustrating thing that occurred in my life last year.

This is going to sound weird, but I wasn't very surprised by Augie killing us. I might go as far as to say I kind of expected it.

No, a player with little talent killing the Cubs is business as usual, not weird.

Unexpected? No. Frustrating? Definitely.

What is things some would say when the Cubs signed Troy O'Leary?

 

Trot = washed up

Sad but true, my friend. Sad but true.

I guess I get a little less frustrated when I resign myself to the fact that something will happen (like Augie killing us).
