Out 4-6 weeks with a broken forearm/wrist. LINK

That's good news for Milwaukee and Cincinnati.

As La Russa ages, it takes longer to take him from flaccid to release. Stress fracture, I presume.

The collision that broke it was pretty gruesome. Saw the replay on Sunday and couldn't believe they were claiming it was just sprained initially.

They're making up for it by claiming rainouts for the next 6 weeks. Home and away.

Unfortunately, they have a perfectly serviceable first baseman playing in left field.

Oh, and btw, SFN.

Repetitive stress injury from repeated left handed masturbation.

Karma is a bitch. Earlier in the game, Pooholes had spent about 15 minutes getting to first because he was so impressed with his self for hitting a homerun following a brush back pitch, that he had to stand and admire his work for a bit.

I HATE to defend a co-ard, but the brushback pitch was a bit high.

I'd buzz him just because of who he is.

You misspelled cocksucker.

And if anyone deserves to get dusted now and then, it's Smugly McPrickerson.

What are you going to do when Jim Crane makes his first big splash by ardently pursuing McPrickerson as a free agent?

Get a jersey with Cocksucker on the back.

You have to admit that McPrickerson spends way too much time admiring his shots. I'm old school. I'd dust him every fucking time that he admired his own shot. I hate that. If we signed him (fat chance), I'd still climb his ass about that.

Yeah, in the ribs. If you throw up at his head you are no better than he is. That is my only point. I will never, ever argue his cocksuckerness

I agree, but some players are exceptions. I wouldn't mind somebody pitching a hard one right at that cock target on McPrickerson's face. Someone other than LaGenius, that is.

I've been told on good authority that Crane finds free agency a "stupid" way to build a team.

Stupid signings are stupid, but good signings are necessary to keep from having to trade away prospects to fill gaps. I hope he opens the pocket books a little to get some help.

I don't doubt that the time will come. But you have to lay a foundation before you can start worrying about hanging curtains.

If they signed a Valverde-type and some veteran bench help, it would make the Astros much more watchable without blocking anyone in particular.

On this team, bench= deck chairs. Whom would you replace, anyway? Q is a fine backup C, Angel Sanchez and Downs are useful, Bourgeois is turning into a good 4th OF/borderline starter, Michaels has pop (even though he may be sharply declining as a hitter; I'll leave that to others to decide)...

There's some interesting young arms in the bullpen, even if the results have been awful. Lyon was supposed to be the veteran glue holding it together while the young guys learned, and he couldn't do it.

subnuclear · « **Reply #25 on:** June 22, 2011, 12:09:13 pm »

I was thinking of Michaels and comparing him to the Erstads and Palmeiros from days of yore, though, like Lyon, he was much better last year. But I guess you are right about Sanchez, Downs and Bourgeois.

JimR · « **Reply #26 on:** June 22, 2011, 01:36:08 pm »

Melancon is fine, imo. they need setup and middle inning pitchers, not Valverde.

Agreed. Set up and middle innings are killing them, pretty much the whole infield needs an upgrade, a true #1 pitcher... that would all get them to .500.
