So, now we have Glavine back on the DL with a left elbow strain, which is what caused his early exit in last night’s terrible excuse of a game. But to add to that, Jurrjens might be headed to the same M*A*S*H unit that is known as the Braves DL. Apparently, Jurrjens twisted his ankle while walking down the Cubs’ dugout steps after the game on his way to the clubhouse. I swear this team is cursed. Like KJ said before in his shirtless interview, it’s like they all have voodoo dolls or something. That’s the only thing I caught that he said the entire interview, so if he didn’t say that, then he should have. Now who is the one sticking the pins in the players? We should really find out and soon.

Charlie Morton will most likely make Sunday’s start in place of Glavine and Bennett will take Jurrjens’ spot tonight against Ryan Dempster. You know it’s kinda funny that Glavine never went on the DL until this year and now he can’t really stay off of it? OK, so really it’s not that funny. Let’s try not to lose this game too bad. A win would be very nice right about now and Chipper should be back. Maybe he’ll bring us some good luck. *crosses fingers*
