Baseball Notes | Nets may hold Wrigley fate
From Inquirer Wire Services
City officials want more information about the netting the Chicago Cubs promised to install at Wrigley Field to protect fans from falling concrete before they decide whether the team can meet the Phillies at the ballpark on Friday.
Cubs officials ordered the netting put up after three chunks of concrete fell from the underside of the park's upper deck since June 9. No injuries have been reported.
Department of Buildings spokesman Jack Beary yesterday said the city has the power to prevent Friday's scheduled game against the Phillies at the 90-year-old stadium if the netting is not fully installed or if city officials conclude the netting does not adequately protect fans.
The New York Yankees were still waiting for test results that could explain why slugger Jason Giambi has been feeling so weak. Giambi has felt fatigued since early June because of an intestinal parasite.
Oakland designated first baseman Eric Karros for assignment.
Houston Astros pitcher Andy Pettitte has a small tear in a tendon in his left elbow.
New York Mets outfielder Shane Spencer was charged with driving under the influence after he was pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol near Port St. Lucie.
Anaheim Angels second baseman Adam Kennedy and Texas Rangers catcher Gerald Laird got into a scuffle during batting practice, and both teams joined in.
