Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Poor Arod

Looks like Oriole fans won't be able to greet Arod on opening day.   According to his brother, he's going under the scapel and rehab should take about 10 weeks.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3954457

The way I figure it, that's mid-May, although I tend to doubt that his brother has a medical degree.   I know we aren't supposed to take joy in a player getting injured, but I'm not exactly going to shed tears over this either.

EXACTLY!!!

I plan on a two week regiment of herbal tea leading up to Opening Day and then a solid 10 hours of Natty Boh consumption that morning/afternoon to make sure my vocal chords are just right.

Plus.....with the later start time

we have an extra hour to get even more jucied.

one of the common ways of treating bone cysts is steroid injections.

watch a*rod hit .540 when he comes back.

Oh, and...

A*Rod can be described as a lot of things, but “poor” isn’t one of them.

Sure he can

Also

“Poor decision maker”
“Poor fielder”
“Poor clutch hitter”

Shall I continue?

by sickuvitall on Mar 5, 2009 1:32 PM EST reply actions  

he's a good fielder still

Not what he used to be, but his “struggles” are greatly overstated. I’d also like to see you share a side of the infield with the black hole of suck that is Jeter’s glove.

Well I doubt his cousin does either but A-Rod apparently let him inject mystery serum into his ass.

masn is saying that a-rod has a torn hip labrum and could be out up to 4 months.

Should I feel bad for the guy?

Because I don’t. Does that make me a bad person?

by dkdc on Mar 5, 2009 4:58 PM EST up reply actions  

I can't feel bad for anyone with 400 million dollars.

Unless his kids were kidnapped or something like that… God Forbid.

As for the idea of the Yankees starting Cody Ransom… Hilarious. Maybe we could trade Melvin Mora to the Yankees. Scott Moore, Ty Wigginton, and Aubrey Huff could handle 1st and 3rd.

by math_geek on Mar 5, 2009 5:42 PM EST up reply actions  

I'd want Joba back

Because Mora does have playoff experience. Can’t just give that away.

as much as I don't like Jeter

He’s one of the few guys with genuine “leadership” qualities and I’d love to see his reaction to one of Mora’s pouty-faced F-ups in the field.

My brother the doctor...

According to Ca$hman the surgery involved would indeed take 4 months to recovery from, so as of now they’re going with rehab & hoping that gets him through the season.

You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever.

by sluggo 2.0 on Mar 5, 2009 4:59 PM EST reply actions  

Good Move

Wait until Opening Day to figure out he can’t play through it, then lose the 4 months.
