BREAKING NEWS!

The Giants' extremely-well-paid new closer, Armando Benitez, touted as the solution to the team's notorious closing problems, will be on the DL for four months with a torn hamstring.

Erik, I'll take the Cubs' Nomar injury and raise them three. This is a disaster. No Barry? No Benitez? No possible closer trade in sight?

Ya think curses move from town to town? Guess Boston's curse had to go somewhere, eh?

San Francisco's finished (but don't quote me on that).
