    Joe Borowski, whom the Cubs released in June, has been lights-out as a setup man for the Devil Rays. He joined the team July 14 and didn't allow a run in his first 10 games, giving up only three hits and two walks in 91/3 innings.

    Borowski said he believes he could have contributed all season if not for the fractured wrist he suffered in spring training. He had a 6.55 ERA in 11 games for the Cubs but said he felt he was close to being back to form when he received his walking papers.

    "It was almost like I was going through spring training again in Chicago," he said. "It's unfortunate. I was right there. When this [chance] came along, I had no doubts I could still pitch, so it happened to work out well."

    *Sigh* I thought it was the right move to get rid of him, but it looks like he needed a change of scenery.
