[inari]

If he's really already hurt, I don't even know what to say.

[BCVM22]

That didn't take long.

[Hector89]

And now Bradley's hurt is ankle. I hope this isn't serious.

[Butterscup1679666578]

im going to puke.

[cubswin2009]

Can we undo our offseason?

[kujay]

Bradley already hurt ladies and gentlemen.

 

If you took the over, you win.

[hotshot13422]

So how long is Lee going to stick in the 3 spot?

 

as long as the cubs are winning and he is healthy

Just like I thought, Kosuke stinkin' it up in the 2 hole...

 

Yeah its one game. Give him a couple weeks at least. He was swinging the bat decently the last week of Spring.

 

Yea thats not going to happen. If he hasnt done anything by the time the Cubs open up in Wrigley, the boos will be there.

 

 

And Jesus Bradley about breaks his freaking ankle running to 1st base, wow

 

I don't think the boos matter. He's just gotta get a couple consistent weeks of platoon time for the team to judge whether he's improved on last year. Ideally it would be even more time since the rest of the lineup seems like it will pick up the slack, but I understand Lou is impatient and demands results.

[Cynosure]

Season not over?

[Keener98]

Phew, breathe Cub fans...

Nothing surprises me considering he tore his ACL when he was arguing with an umpire.

[hawkcub]

And look at that the sky might not be falling down.

[UMFan83]

Please don't hit anyone Marmol.

[genbar]

I'm no foot doc, but that didn't look anything more than an ankle roll.

 

Edit: He's on the field!

[Shilzzz]

Still in the game. :-$

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im glad hes OK. Now get him out of the game before he hurts himself for real.

[kujay]

This should be interesting.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[Butterscup1679666578]

hahaha you dumb ass.

[erik316wttn]

What was wrong with that one?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Matsui grounded out to short, 6-3
