THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE S-17 #8

TRADES
The MADISON MUSKELLUNGES traded Fonzie Bittle to the MINNESOTA MISFITS for Wayne Danks and Eugene King
Fonzi " Heyyyyyyy" Bittle is on his way back to Minnesota. The Fonzi was traded at the start of the season and rode the pine. So its back to the Misfits and maybe free agency. Madison picks up a couple prospects that will never be effective big leaguers. But they will eat some innings in the minors.


M L INJURIES
Antone Teagarden
Antone "Green" Teagarden was on the DL for 2 weeks with a strained forearm. I picked up this rookie from Arizona in a earlier trade. And since his promotion to the bigs he has had a great start until this. It's good to have this greenhorn back.

Al Zerbe
Another injury for the Totems. This one probably sunk my chances of getting in the playoffs.Perhaps he took exception to his Arb contract. You cant Preterb the Zerb!!

Tony Jang
The Knights will miss Tony 'Wang Dang Sweet Poon" Jang . He suffered a dislocated shoulder and will miss 4 weeks.Take it easy on the Poon ,Avantrael!!

Freddy Lawrence
Freddy "Got Fingered" Lawrence is a screwball pitcher, Of course. He will be out 3 months with Elbow Surgery. Olemiss outlawed Banging in the clubhouse.

Darren Baez
Darren "Groan" Baez  suffered a torn knee ligament and will miss just over a month. Nwsheehy could be heard singing "The night they drove old Dixie Down".

Vic Chavez
The Minnesota Misfits seem to be an appropriate name. Vic "Sick" Chavez will probably be out till next years all-star break. Then watch him be traded !!
