Ward, Floyd Injured

No surprise that Cliff Floyd got hurt again today and had to leave the game. It happens once every three innings, so right on cue Floyd runs into Matt Morris at first base and goes down. Cliffy did get up, stay in the game and score from second base on a wild pitch before exiting after the third inning.

Daryl Ward left the game with a calf injury thanks to Jason Kendall. A pop up between the catcher and first base resulted in Kendall standing there with his hands at his side, daydreaming while Ward was forced to run in and dive. He didn't make the catch and left the game for Mark DeRosa. I'm sure we'll see Jake Fox get some time at either first or right field in the next 24 hours. Before the game Lou Piniella said Fox would start vs lhp and hit sixth. Arizona arrives for 3 games starting Friday and their lone lefty starter, Doug Davis, will not pitch this weekend. Still, with Cubs players dropping like flies, Fox should get some action.
