Closer Ryan Dempster has a strained left oblique and has been placed on the disabled list. This is bad news, but in my new-found optimism about all things Cubbie, I want to reassure my loyal readers that Dempster will be better within a day or two.
Any team that can perform magic the way the Cubs did against the Rocks on Monday can surely find a miracle cure for its star closer.
Meanwhile, while waiting for the snake oil to cure Dempster, the Cubs have called up Billy Petrick from Double-A Tennessee. Most of you have never heard of Billy Petrick. Get ready for a treat. I've never heard of him either, but with all the magic floating around Wrigley, Petrick will prevent any long drives that might trouble the ivy.
