Ramirez suffers strain of left quad

As if the Cubs haven't had enough problems with injuries this year. Ramirez goes down with an injury. The Cubs thirdbaseman is such a huge part of the Cubs lineup. Aramis has supplied a spark in so many games and he has had a huge impact over the past month. We read a lot about Derrick Lee and the awesome year he is having, but we don't hear as much about Ramirez. Aramis is possibly the best thirdbaseman in the National league. I almost said baseball and I remembered the converted shortstop A-Rod.

If this is going to be a DL injury, you can almost guarantee the Cubs are not going to be able to make a serious run at the Wildcard. You know what? I really don't want a .500 or below .500 team in the playoffs anyway.
