Welcome to the club Mul, 3 more to catch up. Rotator cuff has a longer healing time though. The best news is it is non-throwing shoulder.

 

No it's not. That's the front shoulder at the plate. The throwing is a controlled motion you can work with a little bit less ability on. The front shoulder at the plate is something you just have to let rip, especially the way he swings. That's what killed Rolen. I'm reeeeeaaaaal worried at this point.

 

Do you remember how long Rolen was out?

 

And yeah the Scales slide was all kinds of awesome.

 

Rolen was only out like 6 weeks originally, but he had to miss several more periods of time becuase of the same shoulder.

You guys have made me feel better knowing that there are quite a few targets out there who can try to replace Aram. Assuming Bradley picks it up, we'd still have a fair shot at winning the division if we could get a 3B who gives us average D and a .800 OPS.

 

Not to scare you again, but I wonder how much teams will demand from us. It'll be obvious we're desperate and I'd hate to see someone like Vitters, Colvin, etc. traded for a stopgap if ARam is out for a while.

Hendry can't do much, but he can do trades. He's not going to get fleeced for a stopgap.

 

Good point.

 

And a little late, but that's awesome for Scales!

[bcl412]

Bradley. Shut up please.

[SpongeWorthy]

Crappy call.

[cubswin2009]

Not a strike.

[Hall7810]

Someone wanted to show-off his punchout call.

Which time? This typically isn't something you fix once and it's done, especially considering the occupation. I don't think Rolen's been right since until maybe finally now.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if he's done for the year. Even if he's not, don't expect 25-30 HR .300 avg Ramirez the rest of the year. He won't be able to get really cranked up on the inside FB.

I don't think we can do this without ARam. I'm contemplating a week long drunken stupor, maybe kill a random dog or something

[PrimeTime]

How in the hell does a guy like Miles get payed 2 Mil a year? Anything above the league minimum is blasphemy. The guy is a piece of (Expletive).

[bcl412]

LOL, this ump is pissing everyone off today.

[Hall7810]

Blue is bad.

[mul21]

LOL, this ump is pissing everyone off today.

 

Bet he's DVRing the game so he can watch himself later.

[mul21]

That was a nasty slider to get Weeks.

[Soul]

I guess it would be about right to lose aramis for the year tomorrow then learn harden's arm fell off and soriano got hit by a truck the way this season has gone :roll:

[manbearcub]

thank you for throwing strikes

[PrimeTime]

I hope we can take this one since Im not feeling good about tommarrow going against Gallardo and having Dempster against them

[XZero771679666304]

It can be done, it will just be a lot tougher.

[Tryptamine]

Thank god Hart has a Juan Pierre type arm.

[chuckywang]

I'm contemplating cracking a smile due to Brewers defense.

[bcl412]

One thing is for sure. Let's not trade for Bill Hall.

[Tryptamine]

Bill Hall and Rickie Weeks, you can almost guarantee one is going to make at least one error per series against the Cubs.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Agreed. They are a good enough team to overcome this, but it doesn't leave a lot of margin for error.

[Soul]

Thx billy

[chuckywang]

Good decision, Macha. Let's walk the strikeout candidate and pitch to someone who puts the ball in play.
