Ya down wit' Opie's knee?

In a poetic end to a bitter disappointment of a season, Brian Costa, among others, is reporting that Ollie is having season-ending knee surgery.

We won’t have Oliver Perez to kick around anymore.

If I learned nothing else this miserable season it’s that you CAN spell “Oliver” with two Bs.

BB — Perez.

See.

I think I remember reading somewhere that for Santana, it only picks up 40% of the pay.

by fxcarden on Aug 26, 2009 7:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

it's gotta be close to 100.

maybe not quite 100, but close…..let’s see..

Delgado 18
Beltran 18
Santana 20 ?
Reyes 7 ?
Perez 12
Maine 2
Cora 2
Putz 7

Thats about 86 million…. I probably forgot someone.

I’m only counting the guys that have been out a long time. I’m not counting D-Wright because 2 weeks is nothing.

Let's see what Pelf's got.

Also, good riddance, Ollie.

by painiac on Aug 26, 2009 7:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Maybe Ollie will retire ?

New research has lead medical professionals to realize that in the majority of patients (about 90%)who come in with “tendonitis” the problem is no longer tendonitis, but tendonosis which is a degenerative condition of the tendon.
Tendonosis is characterized by degeneration of the collagen fibers in the tendon (the fibers that provide the tensile strength), tendon weakness, abnormal growth of unhealthy blood vessals through the tendon, and most importantly no inflammatory cells. Basically the nice straight strong fibers of collagen become a tangled mess of strings with little pockets of “jelly” and small weak blood vessals. If you look at pictures of a healthy tendon it will be white and glistening, tendons with tendonosis are dull and brownish. Keep in mind that this is not an inflammatory process, so there is no reason for anti-inflammatories or injections.
Tendonosis is a more difficult problem to heal with only an 80% chance of resolving. Typical tendonosis can take anywhere from 8 weeks to 9 months to resolve depending on how long you have had the problem.

Ollie retiring would be best case scenario

Most likely he’ll suck for the remaining 2 years, with an ERA over 7. Then retire.

Maybe they all avoided a close call with death and fate is after them. If a runaway train runs over Pelf or Murph, something is up.

Apart from Shake Shack

And the view of the sunset from the LF ramp, it’s the only reason to show up to these games, no?

As I’m fairly certain there will be a Met celebration injury before season’s close, I’m morbidly curious to see who goes down next, and how.

Why

Was Pelf pitching from the stretch against Ross, anyway?

Two out, bases loaded— I don’t think anyone’s going anywhere. And he’s much less spazzy from the windup, no?

"Other Events" fail

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Shark_Stadium#Other_events

Other events held at Land Shark Stadium have included international soccer games, monster truck shows, Hoop-It-Up Basketball, RV and boat shows, the UniverSoul Circus, Australian rules football exhibition matches, and numerous trade shows.
In 2006, Land Shark Stadium hosted the High School State Football Championships, sanctioned by the FHSAA Florida High School Athletic Association. Movies have also been shot in Land Shark Stadium, most notably Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, which stars Jim Carrey and even features Dolphins great Dan Marino as himself; Marley and Me starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston; and the Oliver Stone-directed Any Given Sunday.

I kinda like it better in the WS.

For purely selfish reasons— unless there’s a team that’s drawn my affection during the playoffs, or a great, interesting matchup, it’s more fun to root against them than for anybody else, really.

Also, makes the fans spend more, money- and emotional-investment-wise.

Also also, bigger bandwagon, so more people to laugh at.

Are you allowed to wear a helmet on the mound?

Seems silly that baserunners wear helmets when they are so far away from batted balls, and yet pitchers don’t, and they are basically right in front of the hitters.

I only think of this because I remember the mouth guard Pelfry wore.

With the fucking stretch.

I think Omar just traded for the absurd contract

which merits attention itself of course

Looks like the Marlins D on the left side

is back to its familiar suck.

(Otherwise, Hanley has a good shot to break 9 WAR over the season.)

Homoerotic references by Keith are part of the drinking game right? “Josh Johnson can tow my plow anytime.”

i have no idea where or what Jose Reyes (ascared to comeback last i heard), Carlos Delgado (setbacked as he was ready to play), Carlos Beltran (either about to play or about to get microfracture surgery), or David Wright (talking about rejoining the team in Colorado) is doing.
