Lee (fractures, 8-12 weeks) and Eyre (day to day) hurt

[Choonch]

Per Sportsnite...the Cubs are anticipating the worse...8-10 weeks. Ouch.

[ltb]

ok, that was crap.

 

"tests are inconclusive, but the cubs are preparing for the worst, which is losing lee for 8-10 weeks"

 

they have no proof of any of this.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Then Bruce Levine (or was it Sullivan) also mentioned something to the effect that if the Cubs get Prior back by June 1 that would be lucky for them. Wood probably not until the end of May.

 

What the heck?

 

I don't buy that part of the report. Be it Sullivan or Levine, neither one is the epitome of credibility, by any stretch.

 

That's what I was thinking.

[Choonch]

On the bright side, it's not official yet

[UMFan83]

Thanks a lot Scott Eyre, who taught you to do the glove flip, Todd Walker?

Of course nothing is offical until the Cubs say it is, but if the Score is reporting hes being fit for a cast...well thats not good.

If you want to blame someone, it'd be better to go after Furcal for running 2' inside the line.

[Balsa]

A cast? Oh man.... :cry:

[Blueheart05]

G-d I hate The Score but I listen anyway...

 

They love to get fans in panic mode.

Lee is our best player, but there is no position on the field easier to find a good offensive player quickly than 1B. We'd be in worse shape if this was Ramirez.

ESPN 1000 is talking about tattoos. How about a Lee update for crying out loud?!!?!?!?

Sure offensively...but how many errors does he save on D? It seems like 1 out of every 3 throws by Ramirez is in the dirt. Can Todd Walker handle that?

Not signing Furcal looks even worse now. Nobody could have predicted this obviously, but it wouldn't have happened if we had him.

8-10 weeks is a long time. Hendry, get on the phones please.

[JWCUB]

Hendry will have to make a move....What do you think it will be?

petagine pls

If Lee's out for 8-10 weeks, let's see what it would take to get Todd Helton.

ESPN 1000 Bruce Levine just said that the news is bad. He has two fractures in his wrist. He'll be in a cast for 6 weeks.

Unless we get Pena, I think we'll just have to suffer with worse D at first.

The Pirates are probably ok with moving Craig Wilson, as all they have to do is call up Eldred. I wouldn't mind Wilson on the team at all.

the score has been wrong on many occassions. this is the same radio station that said pudge rodriguez was signing a deal with the cubs during the '03 offseason. i feel like i could get a better sports news update from mancow's morning madhouse with al roker jr.

While you're probably saying that tongue-in-cheek, what do you do with 'em when Lee gets back?

Why I'm a Cubs fan, I don't know... :cry:
