Time for this week's JOBC Contest.
The first person that e-mails me the correct answer at rick@justonebadcentury.com will win a commemorative Greg Maddux 3000th strikeout scorecard and a t-shirt from the Just One Bad Century catalog.
Here's the question. This week in 2005 the Cubs traded a relief pitcher that was once injured on a LaZy Boy chair. Name that pitcher.
UPDATE: William Mucci was the first one to e-mail me the name of the pitcher that was injured on his Lazy Boy chair. It was Mike Remlinger, who by the way, also was the proud owner of Sammy Sosa's corked bat (which he kept from that day). This week in 2005 the Cubs traded Remlinger to the Boston Red Sox for a minor league pitcher that never made it to the big leagues (Olivio Astacio)
