Derrek Lee out with two broken bones in wrist

[homer]

 Oh well, there is always next year

 

Quote:
Lee has a fracture of the distal radial and the distal ulna bone in his hand. He will wear an immobilizing cast that will go past his elbow. Team officials won't speculate on how long Lee will be sidelined, but he could be out two to three months.

Now this really pisses me off. I hate it when the Cubs whiny little fans have an excuse.

I heard he broke his wrist in a collison with Scott Eyre who also sustained a knee bruise.  The radio report said out for 10 weeks definitely (which is what, 2.5 months!).  Ouch!

I heard he collided with Furcal on the basepaths.

& Big deal...we were without Lance for what will probably end up being the same amount of time so they can shut the hell up and play without him.

Chicago Sun Times

"It all started when Eyre scooped up Furcal's drag bunt with his glove and tried to shovel it to Lee and he flopped onto his stomach. The ball sailed high in the air as Lee went over to the base to try and get it. Furcal plowed into Lee, who jammed his right hand into Furcal to brace himself, then winced in pain."

"I feel bad that I think I got Derrek hurt," Eyre said. "You're human. You second-guess yourself. I keep thinking in my head now that if I didn't flip it, he wouldn't be hurt."

Eyre banged his knee on the flop and couldnt continue.

They already had an excuse: Prior and Wood.  Check that--they always have an excuse, either in the form of hurt players, a goat, or an overzealous fan trying to catch a foul ball.

That ain't gonna happen. When September roles around and they're in 4th place (or even 5th), struggling to make it to .500, they will be singing the Lee verse of the same song that includes their woes about Prior and Wood .

Not to get all misty eyed, buy I respect Derek Lee.  In '04 when Remlinger and Barrett and the rest of the Cub nancy boys were crying, Lee took Wheeler's bone making plunking like a man.  It would be more fun beating the Cubs with him in the lineup.

Berkman was out for April.  Lee is going to be in a cast for a month and a half.  I am looking forward to the forthcoming expert analysis, well mostly pointing at numbers, of how the Cubs offense is the worst in the NL.
