From Rotoworld:
Aramis Ramirez suffered a dislocated left shoulder Friday after diving for a ball on third base.
Uh oh. No timetable for his return was given, but this isn’t good news. On the bright side, it isn’t a separated shoulder, which is significantly worse due to ligament tears. A detailed prognosis will be known after medical officials examine him further. Mike Fontenot shifted to third from second while Aaron Miles came in to play second

Agh!
More partial news. I just need to know the severity now so I dont cry myself to sleep tonight.

ligament damage sucks, its like a rubber band, and spereated or torn ligament damage would be like stretching the hell out of a rubber band, it never returns like normal

Its actually better to have a cleanly broken bone than a ligament tear.
If Kerry had broken his elbow in 1999 and not torn the UCL he would not have been out a year.

and we were starting a pitcher
who had never won against ANYBODY.
I’m not equivocating. I’m stating that before the game started, I thought we would be very lucky to win it. After the first 5 innings, I thought Wells deserved to win. If you think that’s equivocation, then I think you need a new dictionary.

The outside corner
Sure glad the ump was giving it to the Crew and not the Cubs.

It wasn't the umps fault!
Every pitch that was called a strike was a strike.

Bush
His curve was getting called a 3rd strike when it was high and outside. On the contrary, Wells had to hit the plate to get a call in his favor.

Wells was able to cope with it, so it's a non-issue.
The ump had nothing to with this loss.

Marmol
Was he unavailable tonight? I don’t trust Heilman one bit.

Ah, gotcha.
Well, he’s a Cubs fan and thus no doubt used to it. A couple of Oy veys, a shrug of the shoulders, and renewed optimism for the next game…

Reminds of a VERY old Second City routine
A man waiting for a train puts a nickel in one of those old fortune telling machines. It tells him, he is handsome, will meet
a very attractive woman, make lots of money and “the Cubs lost today” . It was funny because of course the machine always says the same thing but on most days it was true ( late 70s) .

Cubs are 2-4 in 1-run games so far
This HAS to improve, especially if the Cubs expect to beat the other contenders in the league.

4-6 Weeks
That is the number that the Tribune is reporting ARAM will be out.
Hopefully it is 4 and he has no long term affects from it.
Here’s to Miles, Fontentot, and Freel bailing enough water out of the boat to stay afloat in the division or wildcard race. Goes without saying that Soto, Bradley, and Lee snapping out of their funks is even more paramount starting tomorrow.

eh... that's just a swag by Sullivan.
The only medically relevant comment in that story was the Brewers medical staff popping the shoulder back in, which is pretty much SOP for dislocations. We won’t know anything of substance until the MRI results are released.
