This just in........... I just got a phone call from Busch Stadium from Garwilly & Vance the CUBS fan. They are hanging around the CUBS dugout, and trying to get Bruce Miles attention to confirm or deny..... that Angel Guzman has been spotted in the stadium with the team. More details as they become available. If anybody else knows anything.... please let us know !! And now..... back to your regularly scheduled Game Thread.
