Cub fans everywhere let out a collective gasp as Nomar Garciaparra was carried off the field with a groin injury during the third inning of today’s game.
To say that Nomar has been slumping, would be a misnomer since he has been off his Wheaties all year. He is hitting .157 with no homeruns and 4 rbis.
At this point, with Todd Walker and now Garciaparra gone, it looks like Jerry Hairston and Neifi Perez will need to step up and fill in at the middle infield positions.
The way Neifi has been hitting, that can’t be all bad.
