THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE SEASON 26 #7

TRADES
Still no trades?


M L INJURIES
Freddie Long
Last week Freddie "Be" Long was on the 15 day DL with a forearm problem. This week he injured his shoulder and will miss another 2 weeks. Be brave Jmuhtoff , Freddie Be a D L Darling!


Raul Silva
Raul "20 pieces of" Silva will miss 3 weeks with a bone spur in his shoulder. This Rule5 player has sold out his team. Judas indeed!


Alfonso Mairena
Alfonso "Spicy" Mairena is going for the dreaded Elbow Surgery. When he returns he won't be the hot young prospect he once was. Mdymond may use caution in signing him long term...don't want to get burned!


Louis Little
Louis "I Know a " Little will miss two weeks with a back strain. And baby you can guess the rest!


Raul Aguilar
The last time this guy went on the D L in season 21, I never gave him a nickname. So I dub you Raul "Full" Aguilar . He will be out for 2 weeks with a cramp. What ????A cramp?? Listen Nancy , That's Awful!! 


Chuck Alston
Chuck Alston "Purina" is in his rookie year and this is no way to start a M L career. He will miss 2 weeks with a strained hammy. Just a little Animal Food for thought.


Thumper Smart
Oh there's so many ways to go with this. LOL . Thumper "Rule" Smart will miss 1 month with a dislocated shoulder. Thumper's Rule is: If can't say something nice, Don't say nothing at all!!

THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE SEASON 26 #6

TRADES

NONE


M L INJURIES
Freddie Long
It's been 3 years since Freddie "Be" Long has hit the D L. This time he will miss 2 weeks with a partial tear of his Be-forearm. Freddie Be-strong .


Yannick Earley
Yannick "Panic" Earley is back on the D L for 2 weeks with a broken wrist. What..the ...hell?? A broken wrist is only 2 weeks?? How about being more realistic WIS. It's good news for gbuck's Scrappers. 


Ross Steele
Ross "Chinese" Steele will miss 2 months with a torn knee ligament. Chinese steel is brittle!


Ted Brush
This is the second stint on the D L for Ted "Toilet" Brush this year. He was abused by the original owner of the Yankees after he flushed this team down the drain. Fencer to the rescue, but he may want to wear a hazmat suit?


Felipe Zurbaran
Felipe "Burgers" Zurbaran has a stiff groin and will be out 2 weeks. Jeff will put him to work this weekend at his annual Memorial Day Outdoor BBQ.


Howard Allen
Well....Howard "Johnsons" Allen is on the D L for the second time this year. He will miss 2 weeks with a sore shoulder. Avantrael has a room with a view to this Boner of a player.


Alexi Hernandez
Poor Avantrael!!! A second player makes a curtain call on the DL this year. Alexi "con" Hernandez will miss another 2 weeks. This time with a bad hammy.There aren't enough words to describe this bad luck for the Northmen.  


Cookie Bennett
"Tracking" Cookie Bennett will miss the rest of the season with a hurt neck. You can usually find this Black Bear riding the pine. No more......I'm not sure if he will be healthy when free agency rolls around.


Mariano Rivera
Son of a B&$@#!!!!!! My second set-up A guy is out for the season. Mariano "Buick" Rivera blew a tire and is in a ditch. Maybe Sandberg has some spare Toyota parts that will fit, they don't make Buick's any more.. 


Gill Laffey
Gill "Last" Laffey will be out the rest of the season with a torn labrum. This will be the last of a solid career after 13 years in the Majors. So long and Thanks for the laughs Gill!!

THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE SEASON 26 #5

TRADES
The SALEM SALMONBELLIES traded Slick Kendrick to the LOUISVILLE RED TAILS for Patrick Thomas
I vetoed this trade when it first came up for a vote , as did others. After it was vetoed by 9 other owners, Mdymond sent out this Chat Message: Guys - why did people veto my trade??? I had Slick Kendrick on waivers and ANYONE could have picked him up for free but they didn't.I'm trying to move his salary to sign a draft pick. PLEASE don't veto trades for the sake of it. This is a legit trade to move salary and I put him on waivers first so anyone could have had him.
Mdymond and Jmuhtoff have been long time owners and deserve some credit. Even though I hate salary dumps. I didn't veto it a second time because Mdymond did put Kendrick on the wire and nobody bit.

M L INJURIES
Gerardo Sosa
Gerrardo "S.O.S." Sosa went on the 60 day DL with a bum ankle. It's alarming how many times this kid was on the D L in the minors (4 times). You don't need morse code to see he will be a DL Darling.


David Villalona
David "BoB" Villalona is back on the D L and will miss 2 weeks with a strained rotator cuff. When he was on the D L back in season 24, I wrote this :Austin was building for the future and David "Bob" Villalona was part of the plan. But he had a falling out with Wylie and was waived. Richmond picked him off the wire and..... wallah!!! He will be out 2 weeks with a sore elbow. "Bob" Villalona needs to show some improvment if he plans on getting paid next year in Arb
He got the league min 327K in Arb the next year and got a raise this year to 3.2 million. He will be a risk in the last year of Arb, and if someone signs him to a long term ...........the roof may fall in on them.


Tony Thompson
Tony "Orlando" Thompson broke his finger and missed 2 weeks. The Dawn is setting on this years season and the Bruins could be left in the dark!


Don Hyzdu
Rolling, Rolling,Rolling, keep them Crabbers going, "Raw" Hydzu is on the D L. This Mossy Horn will be out 2 weeks with a pulled Hammy!! 


Davey Gomez
Moose Down!!! Davey "Crockett" Gomez will miss the rest of the year with a sore neck. That's a Crock of Moose Shit!!


Midre Duran
Meese Down!!  This is a continuation of Midre "Duran" Duran's injury last year. A View to a Kill!


Wilin Pineda
Wilin "Wiki" Pineda will miss 2 weeks with a sore tummy. This know-it-all rarely strikes out and will soon be on Jeopardy!
