Pujols is likely to be put on the DL with this injury.

You never like to see guys injured, especially not guys like him, but I'll take any edge we can get. Maybe D. Lee is next.

[fondybrewfan]

Well their two best players are now gone in Wainright and Pujols. This would be the BRewers equivalent of losing Sheets and Braun. I think we know how that would turn out.

[Thurston Fluff]

For the first time in recent memory I thought the advantage the Brewers had over the rest of the divison was depth. With Wainwright and now Pujols that will certainly test the Cards now. The Cubs probalby can't afford an injuries like the Brewers did with Weeks, YoGa and Riske and, if history tells us anything, they will have to as well. If not and they get lucky injury wise they pretty much get the division because of it.

[Glennron]

Man, best pitcher and now best player on the D.L. for the Cards. Hopefully the Brewers take advantage and gain ground on 2nd place and the Wild Card.

Pujols to miss 3 weeks St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that Pujols is going to miss 3 weeks. Pujols has been placed on the DL and Chris Duncan has been recalled from AAA.

[InsomniacInkRoss]

Pujols will be the 12th person on the St. Louis DL

 

10 are pitchers

 

Cubs have 3 total: Chad Fox, Angel Guzman, and Daryle Ward

[Menotti80]

...like the Brewers did with Weeks, YoGa and Riske

Dont Forget Gagne!

Wow.. when it rains it pours for the Cards. Pooohoooles is a stud, so I wish him a speedy recovery. (Just stop being a stud vs. the Brewers)

[BillHall02]

Why was Duncan in AAA in the first place? Was he injured or had they sent him down?

They sent him down just last week I believe. He was batting poorly I believe and there was no spot for him to play everyday also. Since Pujols was at first and the outfield is a big log jam right now.

 

[fondybrewfan]

The loss of Fox, Guzman, and Ward must really be killing the Cubs right now. Maybe it is just their year, everyone is performing and so far no major injuries (Unless you count Soriano's DL stink when he sucked)

 

It is going to be tough for the Cards, hopefully we can take advantage.

[pebadger]

Wow. Chad Fox on the DL?

[BrewCrewForever]

This could help the Brewers, but this really hurts my fantasy team.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

If we don't gain some ground in the next few weeks on the Cards, we can kiss our season goodbye.

You were close, it's Soriano. Broken hand (compliments of former Brewer Jeff Bennett), could miss 6 weeks.

Yahoo sports is now reporting that Pujols may be back as early as tomorrow. He is apparently feeling great and is ahead of schedule in his rehab. So much for the big advantage with Pujols out.

[zzzmanwitz]

we made up 3 games or so. I can't really complain about that.
