From bad to worse

The incredible run of injuries continued again last night. Glavine left early with an elbow injury and is on the DL. This afternoon word came down that Jurrjens sprained his ankle walking down the stairs last night after the loss and will miss his start and may have to go on the DL also.

So 4/5 starters listed on opening day are out with an injury, along with Moylan, Gonzalez and Soriano. We're also missing our starting centerfielder, and left fielder. We might as well be missing Francoeur with the lack of production we're getting from him.

I hate to wave the white flag so early, but things are not looking good. Every team has to deal with injuries, but this is absurd, and almost close to impossible to deal with.

On a positive note Morton will be called up this weekend and it will be exciting to see what he's got. I'll still be watching and rooting, but this is frustrating.
