How's about we see what happens?
Like...you know...maybe we see if he's really as bad as we all think he is, and if he is...we move on.
If he's not...we get to be surprised...without all the histrionics.
Whaddya say?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So no one should ever criticize a move? Ever?

You should totally criticize a move. It's our God given right.
You shouldn't completely fucking lose your shit because the Cubs may or may not have signed a bad reliever to a contract which may or may not end up with him being the 6th man out of the pen at some point this year.

I don't think anyone is "losing his shit" over the move. For most of us, it's almost kind of humorous.
When Howry left here, it had gotten to the point where he was universally <i>despised</i>, so our collective reaction to today's news was a kind of disbelief, at first. But as long as he's sent to the minors to get some work, what the hell?
Despite his lack of talent in '08, I always considered him to be a stand-up guy. So if he miraculously regains some semblance of MLB-calibre stuff, it'll be a fine story, one that we'll all embrace.
Go Bobby!

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
