[Little Slide Rooter]

Between the black cats/bartman clone game, everyone getting injured, and this crap streak, the fates are telling the Cubs that 2008 was their year and they squandered the oportunity.

If something isn't done on this roster by the end of the week I'll be convinced the season is lost.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto grounded an IF single to the pitcher

[Keener98]

OUCH!

[Hawk4Hall]

Ouch! That might be a break somewhere in his hand.

[rynefan]

Not good to get your pitching arm in there....
