Fox Reunites with Old Friend DL; Ascanio Called Up
I have once again forgotten that some of you may expect actual Cubs news on HJE every once in a while. In case you hadn’t heard, the 11 1/3-inning Cub career of Chad Fox is again on the ropes, as he was put on the 15-day disabled list yesterday with a case of being really old. The Cubs called up right-handed reliever Jose Ascanio to take Fox’s place. Ascanio was acquired from the Braves in the offseason for reliever Will Ohman.

Ron Ce Sometimes I hop out of his pouch to steal some M&Ms, but I usually just get caught between the locker and the pouch.
Lassie I usually just get caught between the locker and the pouch.
That sounds more like something I would say.
CactusMcHarris Interchangeable parts, eh?
No less an authority than FOX Sports (compliments of MSN, natch) has this to say…
Jon I read that over lunch. Meh.
I’m not sure who is dumber in the comments section: the knee-jerk Cub haters that somehow think games played 50-odd years ago affect the current team, or the kool-aid soaked “Cubz Rool” contingent defending the team.

That kid better stay away from my M&M’s jar. I keep them here at my locker so that everybody doesn’t take them.
