The Injury Bug Strikes Again

60 day DL is baseball for your season is done... But wait, Yasmani only sprained his knee. BULL FUCKING SHIT. For one, you don't have that much pain in your face as he did after he got hit with a sprain. Two, you can put weight on a sprain, though uncomfortable, and don't need to be carried off without that leg touching the ground. Notice how every other person that has sprained anything in their leg, limps. There was no attempt of that. For three, if it was just a sprain they would have left it as saying he sprained his knee and not that he has knee damage. Damage to me sounds way more serious than a sprain and since he did get placed on the 60 day DL, I'm gonna say it's way more serious than a sprain.

I called the injury the moment I saw it yesterday. I said he fucked up either his MCL or LCL and hope that he didn't tear anything but I knew it was more serious than a sprain. Original reports mentioned it was his ACL and MCL. I have also seen reports saying ACL and PCL but I'm having a very hard time believing, with the direction his leg went, that he screwed up both his ACL and PCL. In order to cause damage to those ligaments, you'd need to get hit from the front or the back to blow them out. Yasmani, very clearly got hit from the side, the medial side at that.

I'm really getting tired of calling the injuries the Padres are having and being right about them. Though it's not official that he has torn anything and won't be until tomorrow, I have the worst feeling ever that he did and had that feeling yesterday as well. Let us go back to when Alonso got hurt and the Padres tried to tell us for a few days to like a week that Alonso only had a bruised hand. I said from the moment he got hit that he broke something. Fast forward to Alonso being placed on the DL with a broken hand. I win this game. I've also called hamstring strains among other injuries in the last couple seasons. I'm pretty sure the Padres need to put me on their staff. Though I don't have the necessary degree... yet, I clearly know what I'm talking about. I mean, it's not like I wasn't going to school for this or anything.

Record: Not even close to where we want it to be
