Is the Hot Stove League heating up a little early this year?

At O’Hare, Fukudome’s plane is boarding:

Kosuke Fukudome’s downfall has led to booing at Wrigley Field, and now he’s getting no respect.

Passengers at O’Hare Airport were surprised to hear his name being paged over the public address system in Terminal B on Friday morning.

But it turned out that it was all a joke.

“Paging Kosuke Fukudome, paging Kosuke Fukudome … Please report to the Cincinnati Reds. You have been traded for a player to be named later.”

Some of the passengers waiting for flights laughed, while others cringed.

Either way, it looks like Chicago’s love affair with the Japanese star is officially over.

I don’t care where you’re from, that’s funny.
