Wainwright out for the season

[imb]

And apparently Dr. Nick Riviera will be performing the operation (well, the team doctor, who seems to have a less than stellar reputation).

 

Surprised a more well regarded surgeon (Yocum or Andrews) isn't doing it.

 

They have to cut corners somewhere if they're going to be able to afford Pujols.

 

And the team bar tab

 

And it's been a few years, so probably funeral costs as well.

 

Did I go too far?

 

Hancock did them a favor and self-cremated.

Ok, so this is really unrelated, but since there was so much Bissinger "love" in this thread, I thought some of you might enjoy this...

 

Mark Cuban labeled writer Buzz Bissinger "a coward" Sunday afternoon on his Twitter account, prompting Bissinger, author of "Friday Night Lights," to tweet back that the Dallas Mavericks owner was "a spoiled rich boy."

I love watching FNL (the TV series), and even though Buzz didnt write the TV series, just the book that inspired the movie that inspired the TV series, I might refuse to watch the last season on the account of him being a [expletive] moron.

Bernie Miklasz just said that Carpenter was escorted off the field with an injury. Didn't have any details other than that.

from Joe Strauss:

Carp' showed no sign of obvious distress but was removed by trainer and escorted to clubhouse. No evidence of arm issue. Developing.

Walked off the field with a trainer. Wow...

[Banedon]

omg wtf....Mitch Boggs leaving the game with the trainer too.

They just wanted an early start on happy hour

LOL Wainwright and Carpenter = Prior and Wood!!

[EhDubya]

LOL Wainwright and Carpenter = Prior and Wood!!

 

Yeah, thats a fair comparison, once elite pitchers who won their teams a World Series before going down with serious injuries.

 

Wait, no, nevermind. That was a stupid comparison.

Daaaaaaaaaamn, somebody sucks at detecting sarcasm.

Maybe the batteries in his sarcasm detector went dead during the three days it took him to make that post.
