Strange but True Cubs Injuries

Ryan Dempster's broken toe from jumping over the dugout railing could be seen as the revenge of the Gatorade dispenser.

Recall that Dempster punched the dispenser several weeks ago, leading to future assaults by Carlos Zambrano, and its eventual removal from the dugout.


Either way, Dempster's toe injury is likely to go down as one of the more foolish Cubs injuries in history, along with the following infamous 10 episodes:

1. Sammy Sosa went on the disabled list with back spasms after sneezing.

2. Kerry Wood injured his back while slipping in his hot tub.

3. Jose Cardenal couldn't play one day because he said his eyelids were swollen shut when he woke up.

4. Zambrano suffered an elbow injury the Cubs said was related to spending too much time on his laptop.

5. Alfonso Soriano strained a calf while making a hop during a catch, though he denied the two were related.

6. Mike Harkey injured his knee while turning a cartwheel on the field before a game.

7. Kyle Farnsworth injured a knee after kicking an electric fan in the tunnel between the clubhouse and the dugout.

8. Steve Trout went on the disabled list after falling off an exercise bike.

9. Felix Pie twisted a testicle in spring training.

10. Mike Remlinger sprained his pinkie finger when he got it caught between two recliners while relaxing in the Cubs clubhouse.
