Cubs: fuld (8), scales, lee, rami, milt, bakeran soto, blanco (6), wells. METS: Pagan, CF Castillo, 2B Wright, 3B Murphy, 1B Francoeur, RF Sullivan, LF Schneider, C Hernandez, SS Pelfrey, P Maine to start against the Phillies in the night half of the double-header. Adam Rubin: Manuel also indicated that Gary Sheffield (back spasms) is "pretty close" to being shut down for the season, and that Carlos Delgado's chances of returning this season are "very slim." Me: Way to go Omar. The Giants offered you something but you wanted more. You said that you had an obligation to filed a competitive team so you declined the offer. You end up getting nothing for Sheffield (who cost you nothing, you paid him nothing, and he won't be back next season) and you don't achieve your goal of fielding a "competitive team."
