This just in....

AP: Both Kerry Woods and Mark Prior suffered arm injuries today in their Grapefruit League game. The were immediately placed on the 360 day Disabled List, but it is expected that both should be ready by the opening of 2008 Spring Training.

Sigh...

I'd come over there and smack you 'up side of the head, but I slipped getting out of my hot tub.

Aw, geeze, I wouldn't expect anything less than an injury report about Kerry Wood. But the 360-day list is just a bit of an exaggeration. The reports I saw indicated no more than 9 months or so...

Beside, this is giving other players an opportunity, like Rocky Cherry, who has an under-2 ERA so far this spring. It would be fun to root for someone named Rocky anyway. Although I heard he's only good in short relief...

I was under the impression that the Cubs bought enough bats this year and didn't even need any pitchers.

I've seen that movie before. It doesn't end well. They need reasonable facsimilies of pitchers at some point.

This is a test, right?

You're testing me with that name because you just know that I'm gonna make some kinda comment that will end up making Mick & Bob give me a time-out in the corner, right?

Lah me, Rocky Cherry.......

Restraint, JR, restraint........

Can I let Dan take this one?
