Wishing Health And Sound Advice

By now, nearly everyone still paying attention to the Chicago National League Ball Club has learned that Glendon Rusch has a blood clot in his right lung. What was interesting was this unintentionally funny line in Bruce Miles' story on Rusch in today's Daily Herald:

(Cubs trainer Mark) O'Neal and Cubs general manager Jim Hendry both credited team physician Dr. Stephen Adams for immediately sending Rusch to the hospital.

Thank God they didn't wait. Can you imagine where Rusch would be right now if the Cubs medical staff had actually taken time to examine him? That may have been the difference between Rusch's next hanging curveball and a surf in the dirt.

In all seriousness, here's hoping for a healthy recovery for Glendon.
