Borowski “Will Pitch No More, Forever,” Cleveland Area Donut Shops Disappointed

Former Cubs closer Joe Borowski is no more. Bereft of life, he now rests in….what’s that you say? Oh, he’s just retiring. Well, that’s not so bad then. I always liked Joe Borowski as a Cub, even if he really only had a couple good seasons here. I sat down near the bullpen a couple of times, and Borowski was always a good sort, tossing foul balls back, and chatting up fans. Unfortunately, JoBo never recovered his velocity after arm problems in 2004 and 2005. He had a decent season with Marlins in 06, then led the AL in saves in 2007 with 45, he posted a 5.07 ERA, and in truth, he was never a very effective reliever again. So we wish Joe Borowski the best, and pray to the gods of CSN that he be hired to do pre and post, because he’s got to be better than Dan Plesac ever was.
