Running baseball thread part VIII

Eat shit and die.

 

I haven't seen the horror, yet. I only heard it about it on the radio. You have my sympathies.

 

Word from the Cubs: Right quad strain for Soriano.

 

I can live with that. Quick trip to the 15-day DL and he'll be back ... hopefully. In the meantime, fucking call up Pie already!

 

So how long for a quad strain?

 

I'd like to amend my previous statement.

If it's a hammy, Soriano should miss some time, but he would play again this season. If it's the quad, that's a season-ender.

There wasn't a tipoff, either. Soriano was running with ease and then, between second and third, his leg gave out.

 

Worst part is he shouldn't have been trying for third with two outs, regardless. Damn it.

 

Quad strain does not equal end of season. Quad tear, yes.

 

glavine's doing it all, huh?

 

Hindsight's 20-20, I guess.

Back to quad strains -- Mauer missed a month, and that was thought to be a long time, right? So maybe 3-4 weeks?

 

If it's minor, it shouldn't be long.

 

I was talking about a tear. I did not see the post about the strain until after I had posted.
