Soriano expected to miss 3-5 days with broken finger

[Soul]

Ruh roh.

 

Alfonso Soriano's finger was more swollen than expected monday, making a return early this week unlikely.

 

"His finger was really swollen today," manager Lou Piniella said. "I don't know (how long) -- a week or so. He'll have to tell us. It's going to be a while. It's not going to be a matter of 2-3 days." When they announced the injury yesterday, the Cubs said Soriano would likely miss 3-5 days.

lol it's almost like this has happened before or something.

 

it'll be weeks; pray it won't be even more.

 

I said this in the game thread, but I currently have the tip of my middle finger broken, and I bet its 2-3 weeks before practicing, and longer before games. There is absolutely no grip strength and lots of discomfort. I am at 2 weeks right now, still splinted, and lifting a towel (insert towel drill joke here) is tough. I can't imagine without the splint. Not to be a downer, just my 20 pesos.

 

Some guys would be out 3-5 days with a hangnail. I realize it's not a serious fracture, but even with a small deal like this it's silly to throw the guy back out there in less than a week. Common sense dictates he's going to be out longer. I can't believe the Cubs continue to try and sell people on these ridiculously over-optimistic injury estimates.

At least he'll have an excuse this year.

Nicely played.

Soriano took BP yesterday and should be back in the lineup early next week.

I'm shocked he only missed so little time.

I just hope he isn't rushing back and this injury ends up lingering all year.

Scratch that...

 

Soriano will be in the lineup tomorrow, according to Bruce's post in today's game thread.

They have trained people to assume the whole 3x what they say thing, so if they said the legit time of 2-3 weeks people would panic and assume a couple months, which would be giving false information :starwars2: :oldbluekoolaid:
