Look who we went to visit when we traded for Matt Lawton in 2005. (The Phillies) ha I remember in 05, I was in driver's ed listening to Pat and Ron during the Barrett play. Bad memories.
I seem to recall the Cubs being in ATL when the Ramirez/Lofton deal was made. They had just lost a tough one to the Brave in which Tom Goodwin pulled up with a torn hamstring on a triple. Lofton was coming over to take CPatt's place and then later we re-aquired Doug Glanville because of Goodwin's injury. you're right. Now I remember, Ramirez and Lofton's first games as Cubs were against the Phillies! Nomar's was too!
Here's a sign! When the Cubs traded for Ramirez and Lofton in 03, the Phillies were in town. Then in 04 when the Cubs traded for Nomar, the Phillies were in town again! Look who is coming to town on Monday!?!? :lol:
