    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Cubs 1B Lee has broken bones in wristChicago Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee has two fractured bones in his left wrist, team general manager Jim Hendry said Thursday.Lee will be in a cast for 6 weeks and likely will face 2-4 weeks of rehab after that, meaning the Cubs will be without one of their best hitters for 8-10 weeks.Lee, an All-Star and the reigning National League batting champion, was hurt in the seventh inning. Rafael Furcal led off the inning with a bunt single to the right of the mound, and reliever Scott Eyre dived for the ball before flipping it toward first base with his glove. The ball sailed over Lee's glove as Furcal crashed into him at the bag.It was believed Wednesday night that Lee suffered a sprained wrist in the collisionLee, a two-time Gold Glove winner who played in his first All-Star Game last season, has appeared in no fewer than 155 games in any of the previous six seasons and has never been on the disabled list since making his big-league debut in 1997 with San Diego. He had a career year last season with a .335 average, 46 homers and 107 RBI.</div>I tell you, the Cubs are cursed forever.
