I just talked to my dad, who is a doctor. He said that a knee contusion could be anwhere from a couple days to a few weeks. He also said that when an x-ray comes back inconclusive that it means they'll probably do an MRI tomorrow but it isn't necessarily bad news. But he said even if it is just a sprain that it could actually be worse than a broken wrist because of the lingering affects.
Oh I believe it can... I believe it can get worse... Do not start an injury thread, plz. Worse than having our MVP and our top lefty reliever get hurt on one play? What is Neifi going to get hurt also...oh wait, that would be good.
well done Not possible. We are the Cubs. If you did that then nobody on any other team would get injured except our players. Well, and Nomar and Griffey. But nobody else would get hurt.
I just figured it out. In this game, bad things happen to the people we like and good things happen to the people we hate. Lee gets hurt. Aardsma stinks it up. Perez gets a single. Jones miraculously get on when Baez can't pick up the ball. Bynum gets AB's. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD!?!?
I don't think Lee's wrist is broken; he walked off the field under his own power. Correct me if I'm wrong, but people have broken their wrists before and have not had to be carried off the field.
Since he plays for the Cubs, I'm gonna say its an 80-90% chance it's broken. I really have no idea, but it looked really bad. For another team is a 3 to 4 week injury. For the Cubs it's a 3 to 4 month injury.
