Cheers to a much needed off day - I, along with a lot people here, need a break, need to recharge the Cub batteries. Not to mention, but our team needs the break more than anyone. Let's relax, have fun, and get ready for a wonderful stretch run!

So, my list of fun things to do today, not thinking of Cubbie Baseball:

1. Read a book.
   
2. Go for a walk.
   
3. Have a beer with an old friend.
   
4. Frisbee in the park.
   
5. Bike rides are always fun.
   
6. Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream!
   
7. Cool off at the pool.
   
8. Listen to your all time favorite album.
   
9. Croquet, anyone?
   
10. Just have fun!

:)

I hate off days so let's talk about some trade ideas. Both of these players are currently available, and I would love to see one, if not both, in Cubbie Blue.

One is a veteran who shores up our RF/RH hitting problems - the other would be an absolute dream in the bullpen for years to come.

our future RF?

our future Closer?

If Hendry could pull even one of these over, I would forgive him for the Maddux for a PTBNL trade. HA

Let me know what you think.
