Chicago Cubs star Derrek Lee is listed as day-to-day because of an injured left shoulder. He left Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Braves after hurting himself during a first-inning at-bat.

I know I said that something crazy would happen to deny Lee the Triple Crown, but I'm not sure an injury is what I had in mind. What was I thinking about? Maybe Lee would get suspended for using a corked bat Sammy Sosa left behind. Or, possibly a malicious official scorekeeper would rule "error", denying Lee a hit that would give him a narrow victory for the batting title in a very tight race.
