Get Well Soon

Saw a news item that former Cub outfielder Dwight Smith was busted for cocaine possession. Everyone loved Dwight back in the day – he was almost the second coming of Shawon Dunston – and it’s a shame that he’s become involved with drugs. I sincerely hope he gets the help he’ll need to get his life back on track.

Also, Pat Hughes reported before last night’s game that Glendon Rusch is in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism. Regular readers know that I’ve never been a fan of the guy (with the possible exception of that glorious July 4 night when he shut down the White Sox, a game that ended on a bases-loaded walk to Todd Walker), but life-threatening medical emergencies have a way of pushing other quibbles off the table. So no matter what I said in the past, I’m pulling for Rusch.
