By signing B.J. Ryan, a washed-up, injured, left-handed reliever who can’t get anyone out anymore. The odds are quite good that at some point this year, B.J. Ryan will be lustily booed at Wrigley Field. (HT: TDubbs for the tip and PenFoe for the link)

Bring back Chris Haney!
Oh, holy hell… this can go a few different ways:
1) He comes in. Sucks. Goes away again.
2) He never sees the major league roster because he can’t throw above 85 MPH anymore,
3) He goes to the bullpen, pitches well through slight-of-hand and deception, becomes a hero, the Gaetti-Glasses go on, and he gets signed again for 2010 at a ridiculous price.
4) He goes to the bullpen, pitches like crap, but not as crappy as Neal Cotts, so we don’t hate him as much, but still costs a few games.
5) He regains his stuff and becomes a valuable member of our bullpen.
By my reckoning, even if all of those options are weighted evenly, this has a 20% chance of working out for the Cubs.
Of course, I said that about Edmonds too, but I think we used up all the good mojo on that deal.
Can B.J. Ryan play second base?
If he is booed lustily, does that mean Cubs fans hate white people?
@Phil – I hate white people. Pinche Gringos!
He is no Jeff Baker, I’ll tell you that. Why Jeff Baker is on a major league roster totally fucking blows my mind.
BJ Ryan?? Isn’t the guy who wrote that “Raindrops keep falling on my head” song???
When I saw the description I thought the Cubs resigned Jeff Fassero
Given that he only signed a minor league deal it’s obvious no one else wanted him. Which should probably tell you something.
Turnbow must not have been available
DAP!
Fassero? More like Tony Fossas…
@A-Ram Baller – Why not Bobby Scales?????
B.J. Ryan? Great. Now the Cubs are signing gay porn stars?
This move clearly shows that Jim Hendry is making room for a Mark DeRosa trade.
GO CUBS GO!
Who are these guys?
And that was BJ Thomas singing that tune ‘Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head’ – theme song to ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’. A great movie – you youngsters should check it out
Pops McHarris
A great movie, yes. Nearly ruined, however by that godawful, bike riding, homoerotic musical number in the middle.
@Pat – Agreed – it was very gay, and this (1969?) was before gay had that manlove meaning.
