Ohh Yeah Baseball

Haven't posted much in the last couple days because of the begining of college. Also it kind of ties in with my Cubs superstition. If your doing a certain thing and the Cubs roll off a winning streak, keep doing that certain thing. It can't hurt.

Anyways it appears the Cubs may have dodged a bullet in the waiver wire...

Whether the Cubs could have made a deal for Pittsburgh closer Jose Mesa never will be known, because another National League team put a claim in for him before the Cubs did.

The Cubs' interest in Mesa was marginal, as they were not prepared to give the Pirates any minor-league player of significant value. It's unlikely a deal would have been consummated, but the Cubs indeed are looking for right-handed relief.

The unknown team that claimed Mesa has until noon Friday to make a deal.

Jose Mesa is about the lowest level closer you can get before you start getting into setup men to be your closer. To get Jose Mesa is like adding another Kyle Farnsworth to the team. You just never know when he will blow up. You never have 100% confidence in his abilities to finish a game.
