You're always so quick to talk shit about Chicago teams. I don't envy the Brewers' prospects this year, let's just put it that way.
Schwarber will be fine, he DID in fact put weight on his knee, and x-rays are negative. The sky is not falling just yet. Besides, we have so much outfield depth we'd be fine.
Sorry HC. I do give the Cubs fans crap. And the Brewers will suck for the next three seasons. But I was right about Schwarber. This from ESPN...;
Chicago Cubs left fielder Kyle Schwarber has full tears to the ACL and LCL in his left knee and will be out for the rest of the season, the team said Friday.
An MRI revealed the extent of the knee injury for Schwarber, one of several heralded young stars for the World Series-favorite Cubs.
Schwarber also sprained his left ankle in a scary collision with center fielder Dexter Fowler in Thursday night's 14-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Cubs placed OF/C Kyle Schwarber on the 15-day disabled list with torn ligaments in his left knee.
Advice: Schwarber has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2016 season due to a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee after a collision with teammate Dexter Fowler on Thursday. Schwarber is also dealing with a severely sprained ankle.

An MRI revealed the extent of the knee injury for Schwarber, one of several heralded young stars for the Cubs, who entered the season among the World Series favorites.
Schwarber also suffered a severely sprained ankle in a scary collision with center fielder Dexter Fowler in the Cubs' 14-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.
"A young man in his sophomore season in the big leagues," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Friday, "one of the most refreshing and talented in all of Major League Baseball. Now to be out for the rest of the season, it's not easy."
Schwarber is expected to have surgery in one to three weeks and will remain at the Cubs' spring training facility in Mesa, Arizona, until he's ready to travel back to Chicago, according to Cubs president Theo Epstein. The team is hopeful that Schwarber can return for spring training next year, but with damage to two ligaments, they aren't sure of the timetable.
"Chicago will be the headquarters for the rehab," Epstein said. "The most important things to Kyle at this point are winning and staying connected to the team.
"Everyone who knows Kyle was sick watching that play and the aftermath of that play. Just devastated for him. It's tough news. It's really devastating news, but we have to follow his example. In the wake of this injury, he's putting the team first."
A catcher by trade, Schwarber, the fourth overall pick in the 2014 draft, made his major league debut last year. He hit .246 with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs in 69 games, then slugged a franchise-record five home runs in nine postseason games.

Yeah I'm eating crow on this one. I was watching the game and he did put some weight on it prior to being carted off. Then locker room reported a sprain.
Anyway, you were right, I was wrong. Sucks, he really changes the overall complexion of the lineup. Cubs still a very solid team and one of the favorites to win the pennant, but this hurts. He was an x factor.

I wouldn't say he was right.....It was reported initially a sprained angle and Xrays were negative.
