OUCH!! Sorry to see, I really like Derek Lee the person and player.

That means we'll likely miss him both times we play him. I won't shed a tear about that.

Is this confirmed or BS?

Will it actually end up being much shorter, like Coco Crisp's injury? Or maybe even longer?

I should say Comcast Sports Net says "could" be 8-10 weeks. Typical Cub organization crap.

The Cubs board heard the same story from Comcast.

Not to be an ass, but would it have been that hard to put that in the title of this thread? Thanks for the report though.

Gail Fischer came on for a sports night update on Chicago Tribune live and said the breaking news.

yeah, I should have done that. My bad, maybe a mod could change that to avoid some confusion.

Maybe they can make a trade for Carlos Pena now? Maybe my vision was skewed with the wrong Chicago team?

Thanks to the mod that fixed that.

So now you think you are a Cubs visionary?

Bruce Levine is reporting it's two franctures.

I hear this great sobbing noise coming from the direction of Wrigleyville. Strange.

Are you sure it's not cause "Will and Grace" is going off the air after this season?

It could be that....

So the timeframe is correct.

 

6 weeks he is out.

 

Then most likely 2-4 to get back to playing form.

Knowing Dusty, he'll just move Walker to 1B, and he can play Neifi at 2B now.

Very tough luck for Lee and the Cubs. I hate them with a passion. But you never want to see anybody go down. Now Cubs fans have even more reason to despise Furcal.

Tribune reports it's a fracture of the distal radial bone and the distal ulna bones, could be 2-3 months.

Dont tell Whitesox Fan For Life that!

Didn't Nomar get hurt for them on April 20th of last year?

The Cubune is reporting it, so it must be true.
