I'm pretty sure the Red Sox can get in on this injury discussion. Just look at the lineups we've been fielding.

 

[R_GILL]

Damn it Marcum get it together, your pitching well don't blow it.

 

[R_GILL]

Zambrano is sucking today. 4 runs and no outs in the 1st.

 

[Eminem]

My team doesn't have any injuries, they just suck.


BTW, if we can't win tonight with our best pitcher facing JULIAN ****ING TAVAREZ, I will concede this season.


edit: **** Ortiz and his NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER

 

[R_GILL]

**** yeah, Vernon Wells gives us the lead, will the bullpen blow it? Quite possibly.

 

[Eminem]

holy shit, Ortiz is taking the no hitter into the 9th.

 

[The Frankman]

Wanna go by days on the DL?

Its not even close.

Days on DL vs. Players/amount of who have gone on DL. You have to realistically combine them for it to be significant.

EDIT: Ramon Ortiz just HOMERED. :lol

 

[Fifty]

Ramon bleeping Ortiz. Jesus. One inning to go! Even though he's not that special of a pitcher, I hope he gets it.

 

[Eminem]

Ramon bleeping Ortiz. Jesus. One inning to go! Even though he's not that special of a pitcher, I hope he gets it.

Pujols is due up 3rd. He'll break it with a 700 foot homer.

 

[Fifty]

:lol :lol Ramon Ortiz just hit a solo HR. He's possessed today. There's no way he won't get it now.

 

[R_GILL]

LOL, a homer and maybe a no hitter in the same game.

 

[NomarTyme]

Come on no hitter!

 

[Eminem]

I'm totally rooting for him.


**** YOU ESPN GET THIS CONTENDER BULLSHIT OFF

 

[Lathentar]

Come on!

Go no-hitter + HR combo!

 

[Cloudy]

He's not gonna make it. Dude looks like he's about to cry in the bullpen :lol

 

[The Frankman]

Ortiz is 2-3 in the game too.

BUD SMITH!!
JOSE JIMENEZ!!!

Do it Ramon, I wanted you as a starter 2 years ago!!!

 

[Lathentar]

Alright, he's got to face Pujols... this will be quite a challenge.

Is it on TV anywhere?

 

[Eminem]

Thanks ESPN

 

[NomarTyme]

[Cloudy]

Alright, he's got to face Pujols... this will be quite a challenge.

[The Frankman]

[Fifty]

Every one of us who only tuned in for the 9th inning jinxed him!

 

[NomarTyme]

[R_GILL]

God damn it poor Ortiz. Of all the people Aaron Miles.

 

[The Frankman]

Of course Duncan hits into the DP.

EDIT: OM MY GOD UPPER DECK...

 

[Cloudy]

Pujols goes Yard :lol

 

[Eminem]

Every one of us who only tuned in for the 9th inning jinxed him!

I loved the agonized "NOOOOOOOOO" when Miles hit the ball :lol

Pujols is due up 3rd. He'll break it with a 700 foot homer.

 

[R_GILL]

Well there goes the shut out. Pujols is on fire.

 

[The Frankman]

On my ESPN Gameday the ball was hit so far it landed on the image of Ramon Ortiz.

 

[R_GILL]

Now he won't even get the complete game

 

[R_GILL]

God damn it Downs, don't blow this.

BJ Ryan eh, I hope this doesn't backfire, but it is the right move.

 

[R_GILL]

Jesus BJ almost pulled a Batista there. We need some more runs.

Oh my God 3 game winning streak.

 

[The Frankman]

Jesus BJ almost pulled a Batista there. We need some more runs.

BATISTA BOMB!!

 

[Eminem]

Zambrano left the game because of an injury to his arm..........

 

[NomarTyme]

Why the **** did 3rd base coach allow slow ass kent to run?

Written 8/25:

With the loss of Danys Baez today, that will be twelve players on the Atlanta Braves' Disabled List:

Mike Hampton
John Thomson
Horacio Ramirez
Kyle Davies
Danys Baez
Chris Reitsma
Blaine Boyer
John Foster
Phil Stockman
Willy Aybar
Brian Jordan
Kelly Johnson

Only the Washington Nationals have more players than the Braves on the disabled list. Here are the teams with most players on the DL right now:

1. Nationals - 13 (1238 games missed)
2. Braves - 12 ( 920 games missed)
3. Cubs – 9
4. Yankees – 8
5. Mets – 7
5. Reds – 7
5. Royals – 7

There are currently 140 players on the disabled list around major league baseball. That's an average of 4.66 players per team on the DL. The NL average is 5.375, while the AL average is 3.9 players on the DL.

Here are the days missed by players on the DL this season:

Mike Hampton – 126
John Foster – 126
Kelly Johnson – 126
Kyle Davies – 88
Chris Reitsma – 60
Brian Jordan – 58
Horacio Ramirez - 58
Phil Stockman – 54
Blaine Boyer – 54
John Thomson – 53
Chuck James – 30
Chipper Jones – 25
Macay McBride – 23
Brian McCann – 15
Lance Cormier – 12
Willy Aybar – 12

TOTAL: - 920

With so many players missing the remaining of the season (36 games), this number will surpass 1200 by the end of the season.

Last season this total for the Braves was 497. In 2004 the total was 406.

[Matrix]

Astros have had a total of two hits in 16 innings of ball.

Fire the whole team.

 

[Cloudy]

Give Howard his MVP now. If A-Rod can win it on the Rangers, I don't care if the Phillies don't make the wildcard...

 

[siamesedreamer]

Regardless of how the Phillies finish, Howard has got to be the leading contender for MVP.

Dude's gonna his 60 and he's not even 25.......

 

[Eminem]

Dude's gonna his 60 and he's not even 25.......

Actually, he'll be 27 in November

 

[ForzaItalia]

Why did Howard get into the majors so late? 60 looks like a lock for him now.
