Demps has been on a pretty solid run as of late after his horrible start to the year and hopefully keeps it up as our rotation is an endless nightmare filled with despair and misery. Also, after Byrd and apparently Baker, who will be the next to get hurt? Well, I'd do the whole pitchers stats/picture/attempts at humor schtick but this team doesn't really warrant the effort. Instead, I vote we think of suggestions to help all of us distract ourselves from the Cubs. I just started reading A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire and it's pretty great. In case you've been ignoring TV entirely for the last month and a half, it serves as the basis for the HBO show Game of Thrones which is easily the best thing on TV with Justified/Mad Men/Breaking Bad on hiatus. Plus, there's a chair made entirely out of swords: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UusjYj6tL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg Bitchin' So perhaps go give this a read/viewing, if only to drown out the endless injury parade that is our team. Random Note: Should the Cubs somehow win or something, I may or may not be able to start Wednesday's thread as I'm doing a bit inter-continental travel and am too lazy to work out the time differences in regards to when I'll be able to post on Wed.
