Contrary to Goreo's last post, the Cubs have not signed Howry, but apparently are interested in him.

Translation Jim Hendry is interested in him.  I think I speak for all Cubs fans when I say, "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!"

For God's sake the frickin' Diamondbacks didn't want him.  Have you seen the Diamondbacks bullpen?  Jeff Samardzija could be a stud in that pen, and he has no discernible pitching talent whatsoever.

Please, I beg of you.  Let Howry die in Viking funeral and let him drift away on the Sea of Forgotten Relievers.
