The Chicago National League Ball Club

An objective look at the love of my life--the Chicago Cubs.

So I'm thinking podcasting may not be my thing. We'll see.

Click here to see some spring training photos.

Now my question...

Why do the Cubs give us such BS when it comes to injuries? I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it gets a little tired.

For example, Prior and Wood threw off a mound on Friday. That's terrific. You can read the story on Cubs.com. Here's one sentence that bothered me..."Prior is sticking to the program in hopes of avoiding any injuries. The other pitchers are facing hitters now."

Does that not make sense to anyone else? So they don't want to rush him back to the mound because he's 'behind' other pitchers right now. But he threw 5 more pitches than Kerry Wood, who is coming off of surgery. I want to believe Prior is fine, and I want to believe him when he says he's healthy. But there's been so much lying from this team over the past few years that I have ZERO reason to believe them.

How many times have they dismissed injury concerns only to result in multiple stints on the DL for key players?

This year is already stressing me out, and we're not even into March.
