right quad strain

 

that is quaggle-talk for

 

season is over

 

Season over? LOL, it's not like Sori was carrying the offense on his back. Heck, the Cubs won games when both DLee and Aramis were out of the lineup (and they are far more important to the offense). If the Cubs lose Soriano to the DL they will be fine.

Initially being called a right quad strain according to Pat.

 

No doubt a serious one, judging by the reaction. That's got to be a preventable injury. Our training staff is terrible, has been forever.

 

Seriously?

 

That could happen to anyone at any time.

Hopefully, it's just a cramp for Sori but even if he's hurt, it's not a devasting loss IMO.

 

I know why you are saying that, but I believe it's dead wrong. I believe we would have needed Sori to go on a prolonged hot streak to get to the playoffs anyway. If he's out, that has no chance of happening.

 

Murton's not going to get more play time, if that's what you are thinking. Lou hates Murton, it's pretty clear.

 

The current run has been accomplished with Soriano putting up some very mediocre numbers. Losing Sori would hurt but it doesn't mean the season's over.

 

The current 'run' has actually been over for awhile now. We're 5-5 in our last 10 games. Soriano was extremely hot when we were actually hot as well, though not for the entire time, it takes multiple players getting hot to put together a prolonged streak like we had.

 

Murton won't play more. Look for Pagan to get the play time. This lineup is now severely underpowered. If that works out, then fine. I still think it's a huge loss.

Ron sounds very pessimistic. but he's also right that "that could mean anything"

 

I like Ron, but I wouldn't put much stock into his medical opinions.

 

haha, no doubt. But when the eternally optimistic are so pessimistic, it is a little worrying, even with no logical reason to be. Honestly, I'm not worried yet -- I'm waiting.

Lou has found a way to be able to pencil in Jones, Floyd and Pagan in upcoming games. That's not encouraging.

So is a quad injury really worse than a hamstring injury? Since Joe Morgan said it, it must be wrong? :?

 

Okay too much beer. :lol:

Ryan Howard had the same thing and was put on the 15 day DL earlier this year.

 

we really can't say it was the "same thing" yet though. a strain? if that's even true, it's very vague. We'll see.

 

Wait for the Cubs to tell us how long he'll be out, add a couple days, and we'll move on.

Nah, it's not over. The Cubs still have the best record in NL since June 3 (36-20 the Yanks are first in MLB at 37-20. The next closest NL team is the Rockies at 30-26).

So I just got on the comp, and I see Murton cant even get into a game against a lefty and we lose our starting RF? Instead we bring in Mike freaking Fontenot? Lou is an idiot

Jon Miller said "Carlos Lee coming up" before the break

 

Then he says the Brewers signed Carlos Lee in the off season.

 

FTH?

Correct. You can guarantee they will give him an MRI to see the extent of the strain. You won't know a whole lot for certain until that is done.
