Cubs BACKERS can breathe....

[IE]

A LITTLE EASIER TONIGHT!!


Cardinals acquired LHP Jeff Fassero and cash considerations from the Cubs for players to be named.

Yeah...and all of the Cards backers should hold their collective breaths every time the Red Birds dip into the bullpen!!

Fasssero might have been better utilized like the Angels use Scott Schonweiss. They will occasionally use him in long relief, but primarily he comes in to pitch to one or two lefthanders and exits. He has been very strong since Scoscia started using him in this manner. Cubs pen is in such shambles I doubt his loss will turn into a gain, but likely won't make things any worse.
