Major injury possibly changing the NL landscape?

The much improved Cubs suffered a season-ending injury to their most indispensible player (and only one day after I named my all-injury team). SP Stephen Tucker is out for 7-8 months after a major elbow injury that will require surgery. Tucker was 9-4 with an ERA of 1.92 in his 13 starts and was an early Cy Young candidate for the contending Cubs. Chicago fans are beginning to wonder if their real-life counterparts are imparting the curse across the boundaries to this fantasy league.
