6-8 Weeks = June.

At best.

At least we got one of the black swan's suckerpunches out of the way early in the year...

What's the next one?

And that, sadly, is the end of that.

Time to start thinking about other first basemen, and other lefty bats (Hint: we have one individual who meets both criteria in our system right now!).

ESPN is reporting Austin has been told he's on the team.

O'Malley wanted return business. He's a quack. If he was good, there would have been one surgery.

I don't know if he's a quack.

Look at Nick Johnson. Look at Bill Walton. There are some guys just not built to withstand major-league ball. Bird, sadly, seems to be one of them.

Time for Mike "Old Nassau" Ford.

THE REAL AGGRAVATING PART OF THIS, TO ME, IS THE AGONIZING OVER THE TOP, OVER EXCESSIVE, BABY STEPS BULLSHIT REHAB WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SIT THROUGH.

REMEMBER CARL PAVANO?.....BRUISED ASSHOLE....3 WEEKS OF NOTHING, FOLLOWED BY ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINOR LEAGUE REHAB STARTS (4 OR 5 DAYS IN BETWEEN STARTS).

TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.

I FOR ONE, CAN'T STAND THIS MINOR LEAGUE REHAB BULLSHIT FOR MORE THAN 2 GAMES.

GET THE PLAYER BACK ON THE FIELD AND GET HIM BACK TO THE BIG CLUB ASAP.

8 WEEKS MEANS WE SHOULD SEE BIRD BACK JUNE 1ST.

....BUT WATCH OUR TEDIOUS REHAB PLAN BULLSHIT THAT WILL COST HIM UNTIL JUNE 15TH OR POSSIBLY EVEN AFTER JUNE AND INTO JULY.

OH, HOW I HATE THIS.

All Caps: How could we ever forget The Bronx Buttocks? An el duque classic!

Bird is having surgery for a bone spur. Out 6 to 8 weeks.

Maybe he should just change his name to Nick Johnson already.

By the way, I agree with Alphonso on every point, something that continues to be remarkably consistent.

Since we shouldn't have exactly the same number of wins, I'll take 87. But that's pushing it.

YES KD...

THE BRONX BUTTOCKS...

WHAT A HORROR SHOW HE WAS.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The Bronx buttocks.

Hits a garbage truck and gets injured because he was getting a hummer from his girlfriend.

The nadir of the last two decades.

JM said...

I shoulda said "Harumph. Harumph, I say, sir!"

That would've cued everyone in that I was goofing around. Sorry.
