Carlos Marmol sustained a few minor injuries in his home country of the Dominican Republic a day or two ago. He was picked up from the airport by a few friends and family members, when the car they were driving was hit. Reports are that he is fine, with only a few bruises and "swelling" of the forehead, which I assume means a bump on the head. Since he's going to be the Cubs 8th-inning set-up man for years to come (I hope), all the best to him, and hopefully he's feeling great by the time 2009 rolls around.
Rich Harden had his shoulder examined on Wednesday, before the Cubs' deadline to pick up his 2009 option.
NLCS Game 1 between the Phillies and Dodgers tonight. It'll be an interesting series. I'll have only a passing interest in it, seeing as how my foucs is not on baseball these days.
See ya next time around.
