But its even worse than what it might mean to the team. There’s the nature of the injury. A tendon was about the last thing I wanted. When Paul O’Neil called hamate bone, I sure wanted him to be right. Bones heal, often completely and often without surgery. However it seems that it is very likely that one of Bautista’s flexor tendons have let go. This is the arm equivalent of the Achilles Tendon letting go, a la Ryan Howard. No one bounces back from that in 6 to 8 weeks. Given the nature of Bautsita’s super hard swing and one handed follow through, it is very that is the last time we’ll seen him swing like that.

I don’t get depressed over baseball game scores. But its fair to say, with Bautista’s injury, given Votto & Ortiz too, that I’m not going to like baseball as much as I used to. That’s the cream of baseball hitting down all in one day. That’s depressing.

Craig, thanks for making me feel old…I’m 28

Whaaaa?

As to your comment, my wife and I had a few months back. She had her 17 year old cousin over, and for some reason my dog was barking his head off. So I asked him “what’s wrong buddy, did Timmy fall down the well again?” Wife and I start laughing, cousin has no clue what we’re talking about. Getting older sucks, or this:

Sigh.

Anyway, go Twins.

Who knew Craig was a Mastodon fan?
