How long will it be before we see Buster in catcher's gear again?
I blithely commented on last week’s post that I might have to do another edition of DL’d Hotties, the way this season was going. Little did I know that it might have to be this week. Our beloved ROY cutie Buster Posey looks to be out for who knows how long after sustaining a fractured leg and torn ligaments in a collision at the plate last night. Already discussions have begun about whether it’s time to change the rules about blocking the plate/running into the catcher.
So that’s the bad. And the ugly. Which means the only links left are good, so check them out!
- The Phillies and Reds epic 19 inning game yesterday featured an unlikely pitching performance.
- This, in turn gave rise to a Baseball Nation discussion about the funniest non-pitcher pitching stints.
- Mariano Rivera became the first pitcher to appear in 1,000 games with the same franchise yesterday. Congrats, Mo!
- Barry Bonds did something nice. Really.
- Female IndyCar drivers are nothing new. But women in the pit crew are a different story.
And finally, congrats to the Dallas Mavericks on advancing to the NBA Finals. I like Dirk, but loathe Cuban, and I was sort of rooting for the Thunder, so I can’t decide how to categorize this one. I leave it up to you:
I can’t find anything in the good today. Losing Posey is just heartbreaking, I don’t even care about the sweep. He is the heart of the Giants. BUT, I know if there’s any team that can come together after a loss like this it’s them.
It completely sucks. And I am so glad you picked a photo of a healthy Buster because I am still dealing with this: http://30fps.mocksession.com/2011/05/26/2011-may-26-2-14-0/
