NICE BLURB IN THE SUNTIMES TODAY...

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Not to defend the Cubs or make comparisons, but if the Twins's lost Santana and Lariano, they wouldn't be anywhere near where they're at.

 

Prior and Wood aren't Santana and Liriano.

 

Hunter, Ford, and Sterwart aren't exactly Murderer's Row.

 

What about the Yankees and all of their injuries or the Dodgers and all of the injuries they have dealt with this year? There are comparisons to be made about how teams have dealt with injuries and the Cubs, Jim Hendry in particular constructed a roster that was ill prepared to handle any kind of injuries. The Cubs had a lack of starting pitching depth and a horrible bench add to that few if any prospects in the minors leagues that might be able to come in and give a hand (position players).

 

The Dodgers and their 1-13 record since the All Star Break beg to differ on how well they have dealt with injuries.

 

Yesterday, it looked like Brad Penny wanted to rip Kenny Lofton's head off. The losing streak is starting to cause some issues in DodgerTown.
