The Ludicrous Lucroy Luggage Liaison,

[SKO]

Not sure how we didn't post the MadBum dirtbike injury in this thread, so there's that.

But also the entire Mets organization, basically.

Remember having to watch that fearsome rotation buzzsaw our beloved Cubes during the 2015 NLCS? It feels like ten years ago.

I do, and I remember a handful of smarmy "see, Theo was wrong to buck conventional wisdom and build around hitters because Pitching Still Wins Championships" takes from various talking heads. Now it looks more and more like the Greatest Rotation Ever (inheritor of the title from the 2004 Cubs and 2011 Phillies) already blew the one shot they were going to get at a WS title and will never all be healthy again at the same time.

Stew's new favorite player:

Morrow injured his back taking his pants off early Monday when he got home after the Cubs' road trip.

"It's frustrating any time you can't get out there, especially when you can't go for something as stupid as taking your pants off," Morrow said on Tuesday. "Getting hurt any time is frustrating, but when it's not related to throwing a baseball, it's even more frustrating."

At least it's a Cub this time.

I have nothing to add

Fitting that Lucroy joins the Cubs as a direct result of an injury.

Karma.

I think that this one is the reason we started this thread:
