Corey Koskie Retires, Hot Bats

According to the Chicago Sun Times, Corey Koskie retired today. Koskie will not try to make his comeback with the Chicago Cubs. Last week Koskie left a game, when he said he was not feeling good. This is from Cubs.com of what Koskie said, "You get caught up in what if I came back -- it'd be a great story," he said. "The big story is I had the opportunity to play. But is it really worth it to play?"
