Next sim: Next Wednesday.
I should wrap John Grondin in bubble-wrap, as he's my only starting infielder not to get a major injury this season.
ReplyDeleteInjuries suck. I understand that nobody wants to hear me whine, but I've now lost my starting catcher, first baseman, leftfielder, and centerfielder to two multi-week injuries each. My third baseman and two starting pitchers have also gone down with serious injuries. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAt least my backups are all getting a lot of playing time this season. Is that a bright spot?
