Hello, Kris? This is Andy MacPhail calling. We could sure use you here in Baltimore. Consider it an open audition for the entire league. We'll give you the ball every 5th day for the rest of the season, and you have the chance to show everyone in baseball what you still have left. Oh, and here's tickets for your wife, front row beside the dugout right in line with the television camera. Thanks, and you'll be starting Wednesday.

Good grief. Hello Kris...we took your ass in when no one else would and helped you rehab and move your way up through the minors. You couldn't tough it out for a playoffs push and be middle reliever?
