2041 was a rough year for New Orleans. After several (MANY) pitchers went down with injury (including Jim Armstrong), GM Jim Roberts was at the end of his ropes. "I dont know what to do, I feel snakebitten".
And as anyone knows, the only cure for being snakebitten is some snake oil.
In a recenly uncovered photo, GM Jim Roberts was seen entering the Marie Laveau's museum and shop around mid-season. It is unclear what he happened to have bought there, but whatever it was appeared to do the trick. Since mid-season, New Orleans has not lost any pitchers to significant injuries.
When asked about it, Jim Roberts remained coy. "There are many things you can do on burbon street to take away the pain." he said. He then skurried into Galatoire's for dinner, where he had a delicious bowl of gumbo, and some classic shirimp and grits (That line's for you Nigel!) He then quickly found a seat at John Leffitte's Blacksmith shop and plopped down a $20 dollar bill. "At least I'll understand the reason why I cant feel my arms tonight. Wish I could say the same about my pitchers".

Snakebite...yes, indeed. But you fight fire with fire.
