Borowski's Wrist Broken by Devil Himself

In a surprising turn of events, the Devil himself chose to intervene in the Cubs' 2005 season yesterday, lining a ball off the wrist of probable Cub closer Joe Borowski. After the incident, a picture of Borowski's wrist with a large, black "X" drawn over it was found in the Devil's locker. Also found were a picture of Nomar Garciaparra's Achilles tendon and Aramis Ramirez's right shoulder.

The Devil shrugged off the injury to Borowski. "Wait until you see what I have in store for Ramirez and Garciaparra. Muahahahahahaaaaaa!" The Devil then disappeared in a plume of white smoke.

The loss of Borowski leaves the Cubs, once again, without a closer. "Favorites" to step up and fill the role in order of how loudly I will boo them are Latroy Hawkins, Chad Fox, and Ryan Dempster.
