DLee done for season

[RichHillIsABeast]

His daughter has lost vision in one of her eyes. :cry:

 

Hopefully it's temporary.

Wow...

My prayers and thoughts to the Lee family. When stuff happens to your children, everything else gets put into perspective.

Get well soon Jada Lee Edited September 17, 2006 by Rondon Fan

actually a sensible quote from Dusty: "It's been a real tough year," Baker said. "Some strange things have happened this year, to say the least. Every time there's one thing you think is the most serious, there comes a more serious one."

[chuckywang]

Are you kidding me? Wow....any more details?

[otis89]

What else can happen to the Cubs, their players, and their player's families? This is nuts. I hope she gets better!

[ZMovieman]

I think I speak for everyone when I say that you are in our thoughts and prayers Derek. Do what you have to do. Family comes first.

[ronsanto10]

yeah....get well jada....we are all praying for you.......hang in there D-Lee

[erik316wttn]

Wow.

 

Thoughts and prayers with the Lee family. I hope the Cubs can foot some of this bill (not that they have to, but it would be a classy thing to do). Get the little girl to the best specialists around.

Good luck Derrek and I hope everything works out for the little one.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow, how sad. I hope she recovers. It's been a tough year for Derrek. :(

 

Geez, it's one thing with the on-field injuries, but Glendon's lungs situation and this are so scary.

[Laura]

Very sad. Sounds like the concern is about an underlying condition, and I wish them the best in getting the problem diagnosed and treated.

[rocket]

From Lee's quote it seems like it goes beyond just losing vision in her eye, it seems like he's scared for her life.

 

I hope everything's ok.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Sad news. Get well soon Jada.

[macuser2]

This guy was the first doctor I thought of when I heard about the little girl. He doesn't take any credit for the healing he has done.

[TB_11]

Sad that this has happened to someone who is one of the best guys to have put on a Cubs uniform.

[Soriano12]

best wishes to the Lee family. Just a tough year for Derrek.

 

Let's hope everything works out with his daughter and he comes back

ready to kick ass in 2007 with another MVP season.

[CuseCubFan69]

I wish the Lee family well and I hope a quick recovery.

[WeberJazz]

When I read the article about Jada over at mlb.com, my heart just sank. DLee is one of the genuine good guys in baseball and it was tough to see him go through the injury, but this is even tougher to watch.

 

I wish him and his family well in this ordeal.

[Sammy Sofa]

Lee has been nothing but one of the greats since becoming a Cub and this news is really something nobody should ever have to hear. I wish my best to Lee and his family and hope his daughter makes a full recovery down the line.

[Outshined_One]

Absolutely horrible news for Lee's daughter and his family. :(

 

I wish them nothing but the best. This is one of the worst things that could happen to anyone.

[UMFan83]

I almost cried when I saw his comments. The man is beaten and bruised mentally right now. All the best to the Lee family.

[Soriano12]

Situations like this really put life and the game of baseball in prespective.

 

I'll come out and say that often I take the Cubs misfortunes to seriously.

I am totally guilty of this.

 

At this point, who cares about the season and all that went wrong. I just wan't the best for Derrek's daughter.

[Master Shake]

May D. Lee's daughter recover quickly and fully.
