Corriendo beisbol estring numero seis (because 46 pages on No. 5 was enough ...)

Biggio finally gets hit No. 3,000.

 

wow, a 500th homer and a 3000th hit on the same day. What are the odds?

 

This could be a milestone year for milestones, as I'm sure we've mentioned somewhere. Biggio, Sammy, Big Hurt. What did we have, like six hitters closing in on 500 this year, plus Glavine going for 300 and Clemens for 350. Anyone recall a year were more of these were reached than is likely this year?

Ed Wade would have given him a fourth year.

 

It wasn't a criticism.

Just an observation, which is true thus far.

 

There are plenty of muscle fibers in the hamstring.

NOT plenty of tendons.

And if one is ruptured, it's lights out, no matter how loudly you yelp otherwise.

 

Ok...can one of the people who gives a shit please go find a link to a story about the injury?

 

Oh, the story says Schoeneweis "describes it" as a severed tendon.

I'm calling BS on it.

DEFINITION--An injury to a hamstring tendon. The hamstrings connect the muscles of the thigh to the back and side of the knee. These tendons can be felt behind the knee on either side. They feel like tough rope. Hamstring tendons, muscles and bone comprise units that stabilize the knee and allow its motion. The injury, usually a strain, occurs at the weakest part of a unit. Hamstring strains are of 3 types:
# Mild (Grade I)--Slightly pulled muscle without tearing of muscle or tendon fibers. There is no loss of strength.
# Moderate (Grade II)--Tearing of fibers of the muscle, tendon or at the attachment to bone. Strength is diminished.
# Severe (Grade III)--Rupture of the muscle-tendon-bone attachment with separation of fibers. Severe strain requires surgical repair. Chronic strains are caused by overuse. Acute strains are caused by direct injury or overstress.

Brewers-Cubs start in an hour. This is a big series.

 

Holy shit, the Yankees won a game last night. Of course they had to use their new reliever rain to hold the lead.

Hey, Bubb, what do you think of Gallardo?
