Wow

New comment thread is some pretty fierce bad luck. First pitch of the new thread = Garko bomb. 5-2 A's.

Come on now, Foulke.

Korach Opened his trap

They just talked about Foulke not quite where he wants to be and that he has been very good so far

could get interesting...

if it comes down to Street in the 9th with less than a 3 run lead.

Go A's!

Please don't remind us about Street

I was hoping his arm had spasms before he warms up

Go A's

That's cheap.

On STO, they are talking about buying an engagement ring at Alvin's, and if it rains on your wedding day you get the ring for free!

or slight like a bus?

by BigTuna on Apr 4, 2008 9:18 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Slight like not being invited to the wedding of someone

who you thought was a good friend so you spend your entire life trying to get back at them only to have them visit you on your death bed and ask you why you didn't come to the wedding, didn't you get the invitation?

Bicep tendinitis for Duke

according to cleveland announcers.

STO says Duke had bicep tendinitis.

I'm just wondering

how they make that particular diagnosis so quickly.

by Soaker on Apr 4, 2008 9:19 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Psst...

I think they are lying to us.

he's actually dead?

Naw

the training staff is sewing his left leg back on.

by Jennifer on Apr 4, 2008 9:23 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

from what I understand

once they pinpoint the source/location of the pain, they can figure out whether or not its a tendon or something else. If its the tendon, i think the default goes to "tendonitis"

You can't fire me...I don't work in this van!

by BigTuna on Apr 4, 2008 9:21 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, I don't think it would be that hard to diagnose at least preliminarily

It's not like diagnosing a back or a wrist, which have lots of moving parts and things that can go wrong. They can probably rule out a nerve problem (no numbness or tingling) and then do some "provocative" tests to see what makes it hurt.

by BigTuna on Apr 4, 2008 9:26 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm just sayin'

that usually, a diagnosis of "slight biceps tendinitis" requires a plane flight to L.A. and a visit to Dr. Yocum. Not sure that Soupy Sales can make this type of pronouncement...and especially to declare it "slight".

by Soaker on Apr 4, 2008 9:29 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

isn't tendinitis...

a chronic injury?

Probably more like a torn bicep.

Go A's!

Not chronic normally

Lots of players have tendinitis especially at the start of the season.

The tribe wishes they had V-Mart back there catching.. . would have saved 2 runs this game.. but then again sucks for them

If R Sweeney

can turn it around this fast, that has to bode well for Buck
