Expanded instant replay (fair/foul calls, catch/trap calls) has been delayed to 2013.
Year of the umps.

Fuck fuck mother fuck. I think Sal Perez is really hurt. He limped off the field after one inning yesterday. Today, the team is saying he has a sore knee, and they've been strangely quiet about it. Ned Yost let the term "ACL" slip. Now Perez has just tweeted this:
Also, this:
"With the help of God, I'll be back soon"??!? And he's leaving ST early.

Don't forget the ketchup!
Texas is a good place.
http://www.talkingchop.com/2012/3/13/2867997/chipper-updateVia a series of text messages between AJC beat writer David O'Brien and Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones comes this follow up from yesterday's comments from Chipper about retirement:
Chipper also added, "LOL".
But seriously, more reason not to have overreacted to yesterday's comments. Which I don't believe I (we) did. Chipper added these comments to MLB beat writer Mark Bowman:
Unfortunately, I said it around two guys who dont know me very well and they didnt realize I was kidding around, Jones said. One of the guys asked, You think you can make it through the season with your knees? I said, Make it through the season, I dont know if I can make it through tomorrow. Obviously, Im joking. Thats an obvious joke. Really, I just came off the field after playing eight innings. Ive had eight at-bats all spring. I was kidding around.
At any rate, Chipper is in it for the whole season. You may now resume your daily freakout about the Braves spring training record...
UPDATE 2:20pm
I had a conversation with David O'Brien about this, as the quotes from Chipper first ran in his column, and here is the story behind the story: DOB was interviewing Chipper along with Jon Paul Morosi of Fox and a St. Louis beat writer. When the questions turned to general baseball questions and some St. Louis related baseball questions, DOB went to grab some quotes from a few other Braves players he needed to get quotes from as they came into the clubhouse and out of the game. That's when the quotes that stirred up all this controversy occurred. Later in the press box DOB simply got those quotes from the other reporters who where there (who don't know Chipper all that well, and may not have known he was kidding). This kind of note sharing happens quite a bit around the press room, so it is not uncommon.
The story would have run on FoxSports.com anyway, so DOB's quotes were just a few hours ahead of Morosi's story. The bus that took the players back to Orlando yesterday had left by the time the game was over and DOB got back down to the clubhouse, so he was not able to follow up with Chipper yesterday.
Anyway, there you have it. Just some quotes taken the wrong way. It's happened before, and it will happen again. I appreciate DOB helping us clear this up.

a Nats beat writer said Zimmerman had same injury that caused him to miss 60 gms. Wright says he will be ready for Opening Day. I see him missing whole season after surgeons remove his rib cage.
Now, now.. they didn't say whose muscle it was.

Speaking of the beginning of the end, both Jennings and Upton were carted to the trainers room after a collision. Hope they are okay

And, Sal Perez is leaving ST on crutches. Holy shit. Dayton Moore giving a press conference shortly. The GM giving a press conference on an injury can't be good.
EDIT: Torn meniscus. He's going under the knife for it. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. At least it's not an ACL.

Is the baseball yet?

Sal Perez only has a meniscus tear. No ACL or anything. So calm down, Royals Gaf.
If that's true, the Mariners will also be playing some meaningful games in September. They've been smashing the hell out of the ball in ST so far.
Too bad it will all disappear in April.
