Chicago Cubs: Anthony Rizzo ankle injury feels like a gut punch

If you have even a casual knowledge of the Chicago Cubs, you’re aware what Anthony Rizzo means to this organization. He’s one of the last guys left standing from the dark days, when the club lost 90 or more games on a fairly regular basis. In the clubhouse and on the diamond, he’s become the unofficial captain – a designation last bestowed upon Sammy Sosa.

Now, the team could play the final two weeks – including seven head-to-head matchups with the first-place St. Louis Cardinals – without his presence in the lineup.
