Text Me When The Lefty's Ready, K?

So the Cubs are going to use wireless bullpen phones. Since Wrigley Field has those bullpens (like Greer Stadium) that are along the foul lines, this is really, at a range of about 175 feet, the job for a walkie-talkie, not a cell phone. But since the Lovable Losers apparently don't make enough money from scalping their own tickets, they're going to do this product tie-in with Motorola.
I wonder what ringtone the bullpen coach will pick for Dusty Baker's calls. Does Larry Rothschild, the beleaguered pitching coach, get his own phone? I can hear Dusty now: "Hey Larry, get Howry up. Uh, here, you can use my phone. I get unlimited daytime minutes." Hey, if the Cubbies want to "innovate" for a change, why not? They were the last team to play under lights, and they're the last team to figure out that Neifi Perez sucks.
