Dear Baseball Gods

Cut my man Nomar a little slack, please? Heal that heinous groin injury and have him lead the Cubs to the playoffs with some clutch hitting down the stretch.

"It can't be any more painful than it was yesterday," he said. "I have an avulsion of the tendon. Basically, I ruptured the tendon off the bone. There's a few tendons that go along your groin area. There's three major muscles and one of the muscles tore away from the bone. That's what the MRI showed."

Please. He's a good guy. He's a team player. He's not a whiny primadonna like Sosa. Nomar doesn't deserve this run of bad luck.

Love,

Steve
