Correction: torn ligament, bone spurs, inflammation and arthritis

ESPN Bottom Line is saying that Pujols has inflammation, bone spurs and tendon damage in his elbow, but will not be having any surgical procedure until the time is right for a "complete reconstruction of the elbow". things go from bad to badder down in Cardinal Nation

i can't see why you'd be offended if someone assumed something really good about you

they've said Friday will be his return, not today

lol, seriously? is this really such a great insight that you felt the need to quote yourself? a stereotype is a stereotype is a stereotype. Saying that asians are good at math might seem like a compliment to you, but it really isn't. so no, all stereotypes are negative. if they weren't, we'd call them generalizations. how is saying that, in general, a group of people are good at something offensive to you? are you serious? i'm glad you're here to be offended on behalf of all ethnic groups. don't know how we'd get along without you

I think you're missing the point. No one is saying that posting something on a message board is overblowing it. It's the fact that you're calling him a borderline racist. That's overreacting/overblowing. I didn't say he, the one and only Ryan Theriot, is a borderline racist. I said that the words that came out of his mouth were borderline racist. So who's missing the point/overreacting/overblowing? You people are pretty much falling all over yourselves to defend Ryan Theriot like he's some sort of infallible baseball jesus. Pointing out that what he said was offensive to at least some of those among us is not overblowing anything. Attempting to explain it away says a lot, though. not all stereotypes are negative

i heard Theriot then invited him out for Sushi. OH THE HUMANITY

the milwaukee game with the ARam walkoff was the greatest game of 2007

They got the boot for this tiny argument? hoops just left on his own And Meph? done. i don't want to elaborate in case the mods get pissed about it

maybe if he said it in an offensive chinese accent or something

Otah. Or maybe Brohm? No. I much rather consider either Chad Henne or Joe Flacco in the 2nd rd then take Brian Brohm in the 1st. I am a Michigan fan, and I say: Dear G-d not Henne. Please not Henne. Huh? I think Henne's got a chance to be the best QB from Michigan in a long time. Sure as hell better than Navarre. best at Michigan or best michigan QB in the NFL?

that was a 0% racist statement. some of you need to get the sand out of your...

because the Dusty-run clubhouse was a complete clown show. Steve Stone compliments Roy Oswalt and a fine pitching performance and then he has Alou/Mercker calling the booth to complain? what sane manager would allow that to happen? i don't blame him one bit for quitting....the whole situation was a joke That's not what happened. Dippy was the one who complemented Oswalt's performance, which was not actually fine, and Mercker, who was friends with Dippy, called the booth to give him crap as friends are wont to do. Stone then went to the media exaggerating this nonissue and continued to lie about the nature of his conflicts with the players. Steve Stone is not a nice person. you know this how?

the Brewers were my first favorite team, back in the days of Cooper, Yount and Fingers. A lot has changed since then

It's a question we're all asking. I suspect he'll start the season in AAA, though. what's the latest on McCutchen?

which means MacPhail was on hold at the time of the interview

I think Booker could be a good possession, 3rd down type receiver like Bobby Engram, but he's not a deep ball threat anymore (if he ever was)

The whole 0-2 thing was brought up because of Eric saying Bears fans are probably happy because now the Bears can stop being Favres personal bitch. Well the Bears quit being Favres bitch when Lovie came to Chicago, not right now since Favre retired. yes, this. anyone who says "I don't care if the Bears go 2-14 as long as they beat the Packers" is mental.

one of the great values of cheap good prospects is to trade for an All-Star at a position of need

This is just silly. Why does Lou think he'd have to hit Soto, Theriot, CF 6, 7, 8 with Fukudome 2? Why can't Theriot hit 8? Why is this a problem? Why must the CF hit 8th? likewise, why is DeRosa locked into the #5 spot instead of Soto?
