Chipper To Miss A Few Games

Written by Jonathan on June 8, 2008 – 12:39 pm

Chipper Jones will miss at least his next three starts with a slight tear in his right quadriceps muscle.  The strain occurred in the 7th inning while Chipper was trying to beat out a ground ball to first base.  He bent over in pain after the run, but decided to stay in the game.

This is a little worrisome to me to say the least.  Our team doesn’t do well without Chipper in the lineup this season and our struggles to produce runs lately cause even more concern.  We’ll see how the team can compete today, but the real key is to get Chipper healthy as quickly as possible.  I guarantee we will really be missing him in the lineup for the next few days.
