THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE S-23 #8

TRADES

The SYRACUSE MOOSE trade Michel Diaz to the AUSTIN CITY LIMITS for Lance Bailey
The Moose , City Limits and the Red Light Districts in a 3 way battle for the two wild card berths. Austin picks up some extra offense and Syracuse gets a decent pitching prospect that could be called up if needed. Both teams helping each other out and hoping when the music stops they are sitting in the wild-card chairs. 

M L INJURIES

Juan Parra
After 17 Major League Seasons, Juan Parra "Pliers" lands on the DL. He will miss the rest of the season and may Retire if not signed in next years free agent market. Will some one take a chance and throw some WD-40 on his rusty hinges??

 Jorge Molina
Jorge "you" Molina will be out the rest of the year and maybe some of next year after he herniated a disk. The Pirates are pointing fingers at this years poor showing. Hey You...Ya You Molina.

Aurelio Rosa
Back in season 17 Aurelio "Nipple" Molina had just a little nick on the Nip. Now he could miss the start of next year with Elbow Surgery. That really Sucks Nipple!

Jamie Bradley
Maybe it's the sophmore jinx for Jamie "Gotta Gun" Bradley. He will be out 2 weeks with a strained back. Keep the firearms away from Hshack after another disappointing season.

Junior Okajima
Just 2 weeks on the DL for Junior "Mint" Okajima. Junior Mint has been a bit of fresh air to Louisvilles season, so they want to get him back for the playoffs.

Peter Griffin
Peter Griffin "Door" sprained his shoulder and will miss the rest of the season. Jmuhtoffs Redtails are limping into the playoffs. Damn Slytherin!!
