Ramirez
The only hope is he fell on it really hard and jammed it. But I have a horrible feeling about this.
Jay is our Quarterback. I REPEAT JAY IS OUR QUARTERBACK. Did I mention we have a Quarterback who happens to be named Jay?.
only thing that is a ray of hope is that it is his left arm....still, i did that in old man, slow pitch softball
dove at SS for a ball, gloved it, and rolled over on the ball, broke my hand….took a surgery and 8 weeks to heal, plus longer to get it back into shape.
Why
Why do these injuries always happen when its a night game the next day so we have to wait all day tomorrow until definitive word most likely.

but can he play 3B?

The irony is
The biggest Sox fan I know, and one who would be very likely to send me such a text, just orchestrated a very lopsided trade for Rami in our 20 team fantasy baseball league…
Whoops.
Just for kicks, I've been checking the other BCB tonight...
…and pleased to say there was no dancing in the streets when ARam went down. Just a few “damn- that’s gotta hurt”-like observations and then they moved on to bitch about the way their announcers called Prince’s deep deep deep blast that somehow never left the park.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
plus side guys
we had more than just Rami out, and did fine. Lets not get too worked up
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Right, but...
… if that puts him out for a long time… that means either Miles at 2B or Freel at 3B. Neither is a very appetizing option.

too bad Baltimore doesnt have a good 3B to steal

… what if we put Fontenot at 3B and traded for their Second Baseman Who Shall Not Be Named?

is he someone who has been discussed here?

Right now the Cubs could use him.
Half an hour ago, no.

Makes me glad we got Freel. Potentially he’s better option than Fontenot. I like the potential of Fontenot and Freel over Fontenot and Miles.

agreed, but...
rami out is better than Rami/Soto/MB/Lee/marmol out at the same time
not saying its a good thing, but it is the “silver lining” (ok, so I am really trying to stay positive here)

Hey, it's a new century!
I think it was sporting of Braun
not to take 2nd while Ramirez was down. Looks like he could have made it easily.
He looked a little unsure of what was going on...
by the time he figured it out, it was too late to take 2nd.
great running catch from Kosuke

did Rami get injured?
"That’s the great thing about baseball, you never know what’s going to happen till you get the final out." — Lou Piniella
Yes
Dove for a shot down the line. Appears to be a left arm/shoulder issue.
Definition of understatement
From the general reaction of folks, that description is akin to calling the Hindenburg disaster “a rough landing”
Ladies and gentlemen! It's 1985 all over again, but this time the offense goes to hell!
Apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
Not trying to understate
Just didn’t want to try and act like I was a doctor or anything.
With that said, I’ll try and act like a doctor. My hope is a hyper-extension. It didn’t look immobilized like you get with a dislocation and I’m just hoping it wasn’t a separation. From my experience, a dislocation results in a lot more writhing. Maybe you guys remember when Dwayne Wade dislocated his shoulder during a game and he was almost crying on the sidelines a year or two ago.
As far as separation vs. hyper-extension, its just wishful thinking on my part.
Rami is the most important player in the line up right now
Right? Who needs to step up if this is bad (assuming we can find a third baseman…)
Bleurgh.

That looks like a major shoulder separation
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the All-Star break before we see him
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
I hate myself for thinking this
But this is why I feared losing DeRosa 100 times more than Wood.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Maybe we can get him back.
It’s not like the Indians are looking like contenders right now.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
I thought there was some weird rule
That you couldn’t trade a guy back in the first year or something. Or is that a free agency rule?
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
That's a free agency rule.
There’s no reason the Cubs couldn’t get DeRo back. Send ‘em Jeff Stevens — we’re not using him.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
That would be the greatest comeback since Lazarus
That seems way too much to hope for.
Unfortunately, I think the Indians have to really bottom out before they do that. June 15 at the earliest.

Gotta think that’s the best case here.
wow, we need to make a trade for a thirdbaseman

Fontenot isn't the worst option there

Maybe the true solution is getting a real 2B and sticking Fontenot at 3B. His bat justifies it and his defense wasn’t horrid there.

To save everyone the trouble...
from wikipedia…
A dislocated shoulder occurs when the humerus separates from the scapula at the glenohumeral joint. As the most maneuverable joint in the human body, the shoulder is the joint most vulnerable to dislocation. Approximately half of major joint dislocations seen in emergency departments are of the shoulder. Partial dislocation of the shoulder is referred to as subluxation.

Okay uhm...
Can anyone explain the rule 5 draft for me? I heard that Wells was somehow in Toronto because of the Rule 5 draft but then went back to the Cubs?
they have to stay on the roster for a full year after drafting rule 5
if not then are returned back to the other team
Say this much for big league baseball - it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America. ~Bruce Catton
Correct.
The Blue Jays had to keep him on their 25-man roster all year last year or offer him back to the Cubs, which they did.
The Cubs would have to do the same if they didn’t want to keep David Patton all year.

Six years in the minor leagues and not on the 40-man roster.

Wait, 6 years in the minors and you're a minor league free agent.
I think it’s 3 year in the minors if you’re drafted out of college and 4 if you’re drafted out of HS that teams can have until putting players on the 40 man roster (which protects them from the rule 5 draft).

Also the Home team’s doctors usually will see someone right away since the visiting team’s doctors are obioucly elsewhere.
I used to work for the neurosurgeon who was used by all the teams if needed. He was at every Bears game in a special box ready to be called down to the field if needed or to the sidelines.

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I’ve been reading BCB for a while now but just never participated. Been a Cubs fan since I first became a fan of baseball as a kid. I live in the Louisville, KY area. We get WGN here so the only team I was able to watch on a semi-regular basis was the Cubs. I might even get to Chicago this summer to see a game in real life! The only MLB game I’ve ever been to was Mets/Dodgers at Shea a couple years ago before they tore it down.

You should try to get to Cincy June 5th 6th and 7th for the Cubs series. It’s always easy to get tickets up there. They are also dirt cheap. I usually get the cheapest tickets and you can almost sit wherever you want.
I hve a feeling Lou will keep Scales around
the hustle and grit he plays with is what Lou loves in a player. Scales really wants to stick and is going to give it his all.

plus the slide alone should get him another two weeks

if Lou loves him so much
why is he still behind Miles on the depth chart? We might keep him around NOW. Because we have an open roster spot, but Lou allowed Hendry to go out and get yet another bench player rather than give Scales a real shot. Lou seems to like Miles a lot more than Scales, and for no other reason than Miles is a veteran.

funny story about Heilman
A close family friend does brick work for new homes being built and early in the off-season he was working on the home Aaron Heilman was having built. This was before he was traded to the Cubs. The friend got to talk to him asking if he was around here, since he wasn’t asked how he decided on this burbs. Heilman said him and his wife did not want to live in the same town he was pitching, so one day they grabbed and atlas, held their hands together, closed their eyes and picked a random spot and it happened to be in the suburbs of Chicago. 2 months after his home is built he is wearing a Cubs uniform…
The friend said he was a really good guy

As I mentioned before I dislocated my shoulder a few years back playing softball. It hurt like the dickens and I missed 3 weeks of playing and it was 2 weeks before I could resume normal activity. I just realized how long ago it was because I remember seeing Governor Edgar speak downtown while my shoulder was in a sling. Edgar left office in 1999. The pain honestly was if childbirth is a 10 this was a 9.5.
My husband dislocated his shoulder skiing 4 years ago and it was a severe dislocation. He wasn’t back to normal activity until March and this happened the week after new years. He said the pain worse than when he broke his ankle in 2 places.

This is a bummer
Today was great. Good classes, got a lot done in my preps, saw the new Star Trek at the best IMAX ever…
…and now I’m super bummed, even though we are winning.

Highly recommended.
I know some hard core purists weren’t amused, but it’s good if you appreciate the series, love a good space battle, and aren’t going to nitpick the history.

everyone says that
so I am thinking about actually catching it in the theatre
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
I saw it in the best theatre I know of
an IMAX with tempurpedic seats, surround sound and the seats like rumble a bit when action is going on (they call it a “buttkick”) It was so great.

what were people hoping it would be?
when i saw it i thought to myself – best case scenario: separated shoulder.
Best case?
Just your run of the mill “owie.”
However, that was clearly out of the picture. I was hoping hyperextension.
Now I’m hoping there’s no surgery.

yeah yeah I know
but it would just be prudent not to, at least until after his hearing..

especially since the ump called that location a strike earlier in the at-bat

I know he should stop
but he does have some beef, at least one of those called strikes were a ball.
yeah yeah, it's fine to argue
but i don’t want him blowing up in his face. Wouldn’t look good at the hearing..

According to MLB gameday
The strike zone for that last at-bat to MB was very ambiguous.

I don't think he's in a position to get a call.
Umps are going to break against him for a while because of his rep, he needs to just let it go.
Believe or Leave ~Cubswynn 9/9/2008
I agree too
but the first called strike was def. a ball, no need to swing at that one.
Gameday (which unlike the audio is still working)..
.. showed both those called strikes on MB as being well outside the K zone…
by CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) on May 8, 2009 8:53 PM CDT reply actions
shows pitches 4 and 6 (both called Ks) outside of pitch 3 (called ball)
the pink hat guy is my father
And then one in the zone is called a ball. ????
