"Rather than try to get Ryan Braun or Prince Fielder out, as is the object of baseball, I am going to cause him unwarranted pain, put him on base for another hitter, and risk ejection. Why am I intentionally doing something stupid and counterintuitive? Because baseball is sacred."

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

I'm not saying I agree with it cuz I don't. But it does happen and in these instances rather frequently.

Actual justification. :P

The saves statistic is my opinion is pretty useless, but when you have accumulated 600 of them, that says something about your endurance at your craft and consistency. Hats off to the greatest relief pitcher of all-time, Mariano Rivera. Next stop, 602 (all-time save Record), and then Cooperstown.

It looks like Carlos Beltran brought the Mets injury mojo to the Giants when he was traded, not only did the Giants have several injuries they had weird WTF injuries.

This slipped through the cracks a few days ago, but apparently Jeremy Affeldt injured his hand separating frozen hamburgers. This has to go into the Hall of Fame of strange injuries.

Hopefully Affeldt has Aflac.

Right up there with Joel Zumaya injuring his arm playing Guitar Hero.

Also, don't run on Rick Ankiel. Ever.

Braves finally snap that stupid losing streak! Hats off to McCann for a clutch homer. Hopefully, he's getting his stuff back. Also, Heyward has six, count 'em, SIX walks in a 5 for 18 (.278) week. Is it the return?!

It's been there since spring training. Cody Ross and Brian Wilson started the season on the DL. Andres Torres was injured in the home opener. Barry Zito went on the DL for the first time ever. And you may have heard about Posey and Freddy Sanchez. All before Beltran arrived.

well the Posey injury was just unfortunate and the Barry Zito injury actually helped the Giants, but after Beltran arrived it seemed everyday someone else went down.

How about John Smoltz who burned himself when ironing a shirt.... while still wearing it, or Marty Cordova who stayed a little to long in the tanning bed.

Well there was Bobby Ojeda nearly cutting off his finger while trimming his hedges and Chris Brown's sprained eye lid.

Coincidence, as practically the whole team has been hurt at some point or another this season.

I feel your pain man. The Indians went through the same thing as the Giants. I know we aren't as talented but had one of the best records in the AL until everyone started to drop like flies. Hafner, Choo, Sizemore, Brantley, Kipnis, Laporta, Hannahan, and Tomlin all spent significant time on the DL. No team would be able to win when your top 5-6 hitters go down, it's just impossible. I counted one game we had only 3 guys from the opening day roster...ouch

I nearly forgot about Brandon Inge having to go on the DL after straining his shoulder trying to adjust his pillow in his sleep. Or Kevin Brown punching a wall and breaking his hand.

There's a whole list of these things. http://funny2.com/baseball.htm#.TnF-g9SfuYQ A surprising number of them happened fairly recently, too.
