Ecstacy and Agony

ESPN 1000 reported this AM that Moises Alou had been formally told that his option for 2006 had been declined by the Cubs. Editorial Comment: YEAH!!!!!!

ESPN went further to say that Alou could be back, depending on what happens with Sosa. If Sosa leaves, Alou could return at a drastically reduced price. Editorial Comment: AUUGGGHHHH!!!!!!

Sully Speaks

In Paul's Tib column today, burried at the end is this little nugget:

Surely Sosa must realize he has no future in Chicago, and neither does his boom box; a teammate is said to have taken a bat to it after Sosa's disappearing act on the final day of the season.

NOW this happens? This shoulda happened years ago. Hell, poor Joe Girardi nearly got cold cocked by Sosa for just turning to volume down.

Goo-bye Sammy. And don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
