Because it's just the icing on the cake for him. He isn't playing badly...he's playing <i>terribly</i>. It was OK for the M's to bring him back for a little nostalgia, and to sell a few tickets last year, but last year (and the previous 2 or 3 years) he <i>sucked</i>. It was clear that he was completely, utterly done as a ballplayer.

Anyway, any Cub move (like trading DLee or putting Lou out to pasture) is merely changing deck chairs on the Titanic. Cut the head off.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
