It’s not like they gave him a mic and told him to be a pro radio guy. They gave him a mic and told him to be him—a passionate homer for the Cubs.

The difference between he and Hawk is that Ron isn’t anti-the other team like Hawk.

Oh man, what a win! Comeback from behind and Sox fans can shut their holes up now.

Why this win is exciting.

1) Did it without Soriano, RJ, and Jimmy “Ballgame”
2) The Cubs players got little sleep, but they never gave up
3) Getting swept by the D Rays, you would think the Cubs would be down, but not this team!!!

Oh man, I’m still pumped!

Indeed

Lambrum issues occur usually with frequently occuring shoulder injuries. Keep in mind, a minor muscle in the shoulder, if untreated, is like a domino effect on other minor muscles in the shoulder.

And said it’s encouraging news. I am too encouraged because minor strains can be healed properly if given the right amount of time (2-3 weeks).

by Geo4MVP on Jun 20, 2008 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

This is just what I'd hoped it would be

if had to be an injury this is about as good as it gets and, as someone mentioned earlier, resting our Ace in late June isn’t such a bad thing.

by Emelie on Jun 20, 2008 4:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

I say...

Put him on the 15 day DL and let him get all rested up until after the all star break. 15 days will put you just before the ASB and then we’ll have him going for the second half push!!

Lou said Z would

have short outings for a while when he does come back. Soriano said he was ready to take batting practice and Lou said only if it’s with a whiffle ball. Lou will keep a Sori on a tight leash I think.
