Ryan Dempster should be up next now. He's a walking arm injury too. And Maddux looks like he's maybe going down the slippery slope real fast too. Which is too bad. Zambrano? Isn't that the guy that just blew out his elbow surfing porn on the internet? That leaves Glendon Rusch as your ace, Nevada. 
Of course, that ain't your biggest problem anyway. You got rid of Sosa and Alou in the outfield, along with their power numbers, and replaced them with Tinky-Winky, Dipsy & LaaLaa- with Po coming off the bench. They blaming that one on the EvilStoney too?
The team across town is looking pretty good though, isn't it?

Hmm, let's see now - Jason Dubois is batting .260 w/5 HR, he replaced Alou who is batting .266 w/7 HR - not a big drop off. Then there's Jeromy Bernitz, batting .266 w/7 HR, replacing Slammin' Sammy, who isn't burning it up at .258 and 4 HR. Looks like maybe the Cubs already got rid of Tinky-Winky and Dipsy. And to top it off, they just got rid of Po (LaTroy Hawkins) today for two 23 year olds with good arms.
As far as Prior - you can't blame his current arm injury on bad mechanics (unless you count his trying to catch a line drive with his elbow instead of his glove a mechanics problem).
So, right now us Cub fans are only looking for the right Goat's Head Soup recipe.
