Run, Carlos. Run!
Carlos Zambrano hurt himself today running to first base following a wildly uncharacteristic bunt. Where’s Hank Steinbrenner to complain about how barbaric it is to make pitchers bat when it’s somebody else’s ace getting hurt on the basepaths? Up Mayor Bloomberg’s ass, is where. Fuck those guys.
More interestingly, you see where it says they’re sending him for an MRI to see if it’s serious? Z’s injury, I mean, not Bloomberg’s ass. This won’t end well. Anybody remember what happened the last time Carlos Zambrano went for an MRI? No you sure don’t, because to this day nobody’s really quite certain. All we can say for sure is that he went to the hospital, then he left the hospital, but the MRI, she didn’t happen. The whys and wherefores are not public knowledge, which leads me to believe it was something dark and sinister. I’m curious to see if it happens again.
It’s nice to see my man Derrek Lee hit a grand slam, though. I love that dude to death, but he’s been so terrible for the entire last season (though to his credit, he woke up for the postseason, when the rest of the team took a nap). I mean, it seems like just the other day that Andy Dolan wrote an article in which he basically blames everything that’s wrong with the Cubs on my good buddy Derrek (and a couple of scrubs, sure). If this is a sign of things heating up, well, it’s good to have you back, Derrek! I missed you, big guy. Now give me a totally masculine and not-gay-in-any-way baseball hug. I love Derrek Lee so much I even know he’s black!
Okay, okay. I promise the next post won’t be about baseball. Maybe I’ll whine about World of Warcraft for a while.
