10 days out

Hey guys, just a guess, but I say Dick Allen makes a comeback with the Phillies.

 

Don't be silly. It's gonna be Tug McGraw that comes back for Philly's stretch run.

Cubs get a relief pitcher since BJ Ryan won't help the team this season.

I tend to agree w/ the predictions saying JH gets a relief pitcher, since we all know a bullpen arm is gonna prevent the Cubs from making Rodrigo Lopez, Joe Blanton & Chan Ho Park look like Pedro Martinez circa 2000.

They're not involved in the chase for Roy Halladay, but the Cubs could still add players before next week's trade deadline, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times. The Cubs apparently have enough payroll flexibility to add a "mid-level" player and Wittenmyer suggests the team could pursue relievers such as George Sherrill and Chad Qualls. GM Jim Hendry said the Cubs can make moves "if something comes up," but didn't discuss specific needs.

The Cubs, who nearly acquired Chris Coste earlier in the month, could also pursue catching help if Geovany Soto's injury lingers longer than expected.
