Derrek Lee, Still Rockin’
Maybe it’s a good thing that Derrek Lee missed the All-Star Game. Maybe it was a break for the Cubs that, instead of being in St. Louis with Albert Pujols, Barack Obama and the boys, Lee was at home getting over the neck spasms that chased him from a game last week, and made everyone worry that he was on the verge of becoming the latest Cubs star to join the ranks of the walking (or, in Ryan Dempster ’s case, limping) wounded. One thing’s for sure – the lay-off didn’t hurt Lee’s bat.
