These days you need a score card to find out who's playing for the Chicago Cubs. They've had so many players start this season, it's been difficult to keep track. And the majority of injuries have been odd, to say the least.
In less than a week, the Cubs have lost two key players, one to a serious health ailment and one to a family crisis.
Several days ago, pitcher Glendon Rusch complained of chest pains and was rushed to the hospital where doctors found a blood clot in his lung. He's done for the season.
Before today's game, first baseman Derrek Lee announced that he would not play in the remaining games this season in order to care for his three-year-old daughter, Jada, who has lost vision in one eye. Lee has already been on the DL twice this season after breaking his wrist in a collision with Rafael Furcal of the Dodgers last April.
You have to wonder if there's some big dark cloud hanging over Wrigley Field.
