About Time....


 Finally, just when he was proving to the world that he was a dangerous and productive hitter, the Yankees have put Giancarlo Stanton on the 10 day IL.

The injury is related to the quadricep muscle, which can be strained when trying to move too great a weight at too great a speed.  

As in, for example, running out a double and sliding into a firmly fixed base. 

His absence should downwardly shift the Yankees typical run production from 2.0 to 1.1 per game.

And only Cole can manage that. 

More to come....

Call Jack Reacher

Hitting the other way puts tremendous strain on the quadriceps. That's why Jeter never played more than 70 games in any year of his injury shortened career.

It took a little longer than I thought it would, but it happened. We might see him again in July or August, when he'll play for a few weeks and then get injured again.

The Hammer of God

How long a we stuck with this contract again?

TheWinWarblist said...

Oasisdave, pretty sure it's forever.

Winnie, I think you're confusing quadriceps with 'ego'.

...or maybe 'coaching staff'. Scare quotes required.

And I believe Jeter may have been porcelain, but I don't think he missed a game from the face plant. The Ken Huckaby incident maybe. And I hope never-was Huckaby's herpes remains active for the rest of his life, the scumbag.

And I was never a big Jeter promoter. He's not in my top ten of all-time Yankees. Which, I guess, means he's less than perfect.

Oh, and I don't hate the hamburglar, just that we have to pay his contract.

And finally, fuck you HAL.

Hrrmm ... I need to work on my sarcasm. Apparently.

...or I do.

Nick Lowe can play some damn good music, but missed that high fastball.

TheWinWarblist said...

Cole is very good, but remember, whatever happens tonight, that this Yankee team sucks.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Now my cousin Vinny is up.

TheWinWarblist said...

Rufus, I've been listening to Dave Edmunds/Nick Lowe/Rockpile the last few days.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Cole and pray for five days of rain.

Little Village is a tremendous album with an allstar cast. Ryland Cooder and some guy named John Hiatt. I wish there were music like that still around.

The Yanks were winners who've become a doggy's dinner.
