8/17 Cubs (Z!) @ Astros (Oswalt) 6:05 p.m., CSN/ESPN

[JoshiQ]

ok...what? Nomar is really hurt? Someone please clear this up! Did this happen during the game or what?

 

ESPN announcers say they got word from the dugout that Nomar had re-injured himself. He wasn't overly limping, but you could see him talking to Dusty and then he grabbed all of his bats and walked to the clubhouse.

 

Re-injured? That sounds like the same injury happened again :roll:

 

I know. Didn't make much sense when they said it, but I'm pretty sure that's the word they used. He might have just tweaked himself.

[YearofDaCubs]

Nomar injured ahha. Yeha, we didnt see that one coming.

[JoshiQ]

At least Neifi is there to protect Ramirez in the line-up.

[erik316wttn]

Aw dammit. There had better be nothing wrong with Nomar again.

[Marco4]

I know. Didn't make much sense when they said it, but I'm pretty sure that's the word they used. He might have just tweaked himself.

 

:( Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn Damn. :cry: This means Neifi and not Cedeno, too.

[Ram1380]

OK, thank you 05.

[otis89]

NO! I did not want to come home and find the Cubs winning 3-2 but Nomar is injured. That's just wrong.

[erik316wttn]

Stiff lower back for Nomar.

[Marco4]

Stiffness in his lower back, they say.

[rickrolled]

Nomar: stiffness in lower back

 

per Len

[Jon]

Lower back stiffness is a heck of a lot better than a reinjured groin.

[Flames24Rulz]

whew, at least it wasn't anything related to his groin.

[Marco4]

Lower back stiffness is a heck of a lot better than a reinjured groin.

 

Yes. I can breathe a shade easier now.

 

Although the heat is oppressive here, even at 1.24am

[Brian]

I wonder who Hendry is talking to, his shrink :lol:

[Ram1380]

whew, at least it wasn't anything related to his groin.

 

 

 

I think that's what Mia was thinking as well.

 

 

:D

[otis89]

Nomar: stiffness in lower back

 

per Len

 

Phew! Thank you. Much better.

[Flames24Rulz]

good inning for Z.

[Marco4]

7Ks for Z. Looking alright save for that 'tricky' inning.

[otis89]

Is the strike zone really as small as Sportsline shows it?

[brinoch]

good inning for Z.

 

Very nice, indeed.

 

And, guys, please, remember appropriate game thread etiquette. We're getting close to crossing the line.

for "damn" and "dammit"...wow, how countryclubish.

[UMFan83]

So far Nomar's ankle, shoulder, wrist, groin and back have kept him from playing games for the Cubs since he joined the team...

ESPN: "He'll have to hurry to turn two"

 

Apparently, they haven't seen that Aramis doesn't have to run out ground balls hard because of his injuries.

And that the time him with a sundial when he does run them out.

That's what I was thinking. He could have ran over and stepped on second himself and still turned the DP.
