More from the Winter Meetings
Often-injured closer and/or set-up man J.J. Putz is on the Cubs' radar - trying out for the team's scouts in Scottsdale. What have we learned about signing "often-injured" players in the past? You're right! They get injured. Stay tuned for more developments on this potential signing.

Bradley Suspended the Rest of the Season!
Bradley suspended for rest of season
By Paul Sullivan
ST. LOUIS -- For this season, it's game over for Milton Bradley.
The outspoken outfielder, who took shots at the Cubs in a Saturday interview with the Daily Herald, has been suspended for the rest of the season, according to general manager Jim Hendry.
"The last few days became too much for me to tolerate," Hendry said.
"I'm certainly not going to let our great fans become excuses," Hendry said. "I'm not going to tolerate [Bradley] not being able to answer questions from the media respectably."
This came after Bradley's encounter Thursday when reporters asked Bradley about taking himself out of the game without a pinch runner ready following a hit. The scene played out like this:
Reporters: What happened with the injury?
Bradley: "I'm not talking about that. What else you got?"
Reporters: Why did you come out?
Bradley: "I got knee inflammation. I got two knee surgeries. That happens when you got knee surgery, in case you don't know. What else you got?"
Reporters: How long will you be out?
Bradley: "What else you got? Anything significant?"
This went on and on until Bradley turned his back, ending the interview.
Bradley is not with the team as the Cubs prepare for a 7:05 p.m. game against the division-leading Cardinals.
The Cubs signed the oft-moved Bradley to a three-year, $30 million contract in the off-season but are expected to try to trade him this off-season after one disappointing campaign on the North Side.

That's the ticket!
Lovitz was there today and "helped" call the game for an inning. It might have been worse than City Slickers II: The Search for Curly's Gold.
