Sometimes I swear they are cursed
There are days like today where I swear the Cubs really are cursed. Prior had more issues yesterday and I turn on the pregame for today to find that two Cub bats are out of the lineup today. Aramis Ramirez apparently has some wrist swelling and is seeing a specialist today. Mark DeRosa has a sore back and though available in an emergency, isn’t playing today. Let’s definitely hope Ramirez’s wrist thing isn’t serious. It sounds like he jammed it way back in Spring Training and it’s been bothering him more recently. However, he’s been hitting like crazy so it hasn’t been bothering him too much. Of course, when it comes to curses and my Cubbies, today being Friday the 13th doesn’t help matters!
