That's Gotta Hurt

- Per the Washington Post, Ben Clymer wasn't benched in last night's game. That's the good news.

The bad news? He pulled a groin muscle. Ouch.

That's it, that's the final straw. I think we need to pack the entire team in a germ-free, shock-resistant layer of bubble wrap so that no one else gets hurt or sick from now until the end of the season. If they're going to lose all 11 remaining games, I want every single one of them in there to feel every gut-wrenching second. Let them bottle that frustration up and when next season rolls around take it out on all the teams who embarrassed them this year.

A Cheap Seats note: Please try to avoid any groin-related nicknames. We're keeping it clean, people...

- Here's a dubious distinction - the Caps have lost nine straight, their longest losing streak since 1981-82, when they dropped thirteen straight. That's not a record we need to see repeated, so let's see if they can't win one tonight...
