Oh my gosh! Chicago Cubs' manager, Joe Maddon is a whimpering candy-ass. Two days ago, Cubs' outfielder, Kyle Schwarber tore two knee ligaments, which will require season ending surgery. Yes, this is a most unfortunate injury but those who follow any sport knows two things about sport competition: (1) there are no guarantees but (2) there are risks.
As a long time St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, I don't recall a season with the plethora of injuries like the Cardinals 2015 season. Pitcher Adam Wainwright, Matt Adams and Jordan Waldon were lost for the season. Other St. Louis baseball players missing significant time last season were Molina, Piscotty, Grichuk, and Matt Holiday. This 2016 spring saw the Cardinals' starting shortstop and number 4-hitter go down with a thumb injury-surgery that will cause Peralto to miss half the season.
A year ago, the St. Louis team 'laced-them-up' and ended up winning the Central Division with 100 wins...in spite of the numerous injuries.
Holy crap, the World Series deprived Cubs just lost a .246 hitter for 2016 and Manager Joe Maddon is crying a river: "We're going to miss him (Schwarber) no doubt." "A young man in his sophomore season...most talented...out for the rest of the season...it's not easy." "We love this guy...it's a sad day in our locker room." OMG!!!
Hey, Joe, act like a grown up.
