So Long, Scales

scales.jpg Man, talk about a crappy day getting crappier. It wasn't that long ago we started soliciting nicknames for our new favorite Cub, Bobby Scales (we liked "Digital"). Now comes word he's been demoted as predicted by naysayers everywhere. With a new slew of injuries - like Aaron Miles - the Cubs have done some shuffling, putting Miles on the DL, calling up minor leaguers Jake Fox, Andres Blanco, and Jason Waddell and sending Scales back to Iowa. So long, Bobby. We hardly knew ye.
