Long Night/Adam Dunn Rumor

Sorry for the recent drop off in blog entries, I had a wedding over the weekend and didn't have much time to blog but now I am back. The Cubs won today by a score of 4-3 thanks to some clutch hitting by Aramis and Ronny Cedeno. With the win today, Carlos Zambrano is the first National League pitcher to get 13 wins. Zambrano went 6.1 innings and struck out 5 while giving up only 2 runs. Ryan Dempster pitched for the first time in a month and got the save his 17th of the year but gave up a run in the act of it. Albert Pujols grounded out to end the game in the 9th.
The Brewers won today so the Cubs stay 3 back in the divison and 1.5 out of the Wild Card.

An Adam Dunn to the Cubs rumor was posted at Bleed Cubbie Blue earlier today. Here is the link

Hi all,

I'm a long time reader of this blog and have always enjoyed reading the work of Al in each of his entries, in my mind this is the best place to visit for Cubs news and opinions and is always one of the top sites I visit on the internet. I'm starting my first diary today to inform you guys of some action on the trade front between the Cubs and Reds that I have found out, and would like to share with all of you.

I have a very good friend who has known Adam Dunn's family for a long time, pretty much since Dunn was a senior in high school in Texas (he always speaks very highly of Dunn's family, BTW, apparently they are very nice, down-to-earth people). I was talking to my friend over the phone today and he gave me some VERY interesting/exciting news. He was at some sort of Charity Dinner with Dunn's family last night, was talking to one of Dunn's family members (didn't say exactly who), and learned the following from him:

Adam Dunn being traded to the Cubs within the next 2 or 3 days is a VERY good possibility. Apparently, Adam told his family that he is "prepared for a move to Chicago." The Reds have been shopping him and the Cubs have apparently made the best offer yet, and Cincinnati is almost ready to pull the trigger. He will stay in the lineup for the next couple of Reds games, because there's no done deal yet, but he very well could be in a Cubs uniform by Thursday or Friday.

I know some will be skeptical of this, but I am just passing along what I have heard. I would be very excited about Dunn going to the Cubs, he is very underrated and would be a great fit in our outfield. I am just praying this deal does indeed get finished!

Thank you!

I don't know what to think about this rumor. Is this guy legit? On ESPN 1000 tonight they shot down the rumor when a caller mentioned this.
