 Cub Attempt To Make Another Run

General Newscangelo writes " Winning 2 of the last 3 world series, the Chicago Cubs were expecting to retool this year.



Before the season began, they sent Cubbie ace Amos Snodgrass to Tampa Bay. They were shopping last years MVP Lenard Ciprian. Nobody bit on Ciprian and his 32 homeruns and 94 rbi's through July have kept the Cubs in the NLC division race.

Among those killed in the attacks, former HFTC Outfielder Carlos Valderrama (53), a Venezuelan native who was rumored to have become involved with the Zulia Cartel in the years since his retirement from professional baseball.
