Tuesday is supposed to be Michael Barrett jersey day at Wrigley, where 100 fans receive an authentic Barrett home jersey. And July 1 is scheduled to be Michael Barrett
bobblehead day. Now that Barrett's been traded, what do the Cubs do? Some suggested replacements:
1. Leon Durham glove giveaway day to first 10,000 kids.
2. Mark Prior and Kerry Wood bobblehead day ... with attached medical kit and "Tommy John Surgery Rehabilitation Guide" by Dr. James Andrews.
3. Corey Patterson bobblehead day ... showing him swinging and missing at a curveball eight inches off the plate.
4. Steve Bartman Cubs headphones giveaway day.
5. Dwight Smith/Jerome Walton "Future Stars" bobblehead day.
6. Andre Dawson 1987 MVP commemorative bobblehead, with plaque reading "MVP on a last-place team."
7. Ruben Quevedo jersey day -- extra-large only.
8. Lee Elia bobblehead -- first in a special limited edition run of "Yep, These Were Our Managers," including Don Baylor, Jim Riggleman, Tom Trebelhorn, Joey Amalfitano, Preston Gomez, Herman Franks and, of course, the entire 1961 College of Coaches (Vedie Himsl, Harry Craft, El Tappe, Lou Klein).
9. Steve Trachsel stopwatch day.
Only the cubs... on the heels of a tremendous game today and week as a whole I am now going to go strangle myself.

Sammy Sosa hit his 600th home run in a Texas Ranger's uniform last night against the Cubs off of Jason Marquis, who was wearing his number 21. Is he a hall of famer?
Here is what the guys at ESPN think. Pushpop dissagrees with all of them except for one, I'm with the rest, where do you stand?
