Cubs Deal Hart

Sucks to be Kevin Hart today.

The former Cub is officially playing for the armpit of Major League baseball.

โ€˜Pride. Passion. Pittsburgh Piratesโ€™ is the headline on the clubโ€™s official web site.

They should be sued for fraud and ordered to change the header to Price. Pathetic. Pittsburgh Cheapskates.

In two days the Buccos have further depleted its entire 25-man roster to just three remaining position players from Opening Day. I donโ€™t care what anyone says, thatโ€™s bad for baseball.

I love the addition of John Grabow to the Cubsโ€™ pen. Just what Chicago needs: a quality left-handerโ€ฆthe arm Iโ€™ve been campaigning for the past several months.

I donโ€™t feel one way or another about Tom Gorzelanny. Donโ€™t care that heโ€™s a local boy, either. His 14 wins in 2007 are my only interest and my only concern.

In the past two seasons heโ€™s struggled to regain that old winning form. Does he get back to that mark with Chicago?

Kevin Hart made some nice strides with the Cubs, but I never thought of him as a top of the rotation starter. Doesnโ€™t mean I donโ€™t like the guy as a pitcher, just saying heโ€™s worth trading for something good in return.

On the bright side, howโ€™s it feel to be John Grabow today!
