QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 12:37 PM) All of those ligaments I mentioned are in the knee area. Do you have bruising down your jointline (ie, running down your leg. And most importantly when they did tests on your knee and pulled and twisted your leg, did it hurt like hell? No bruises down leg, and no pain when they pulled and twisted leg. All the pain is located in the kneecap region, specifically on the top of the kneecap (or front, hard to describe, but if laying down it would be the highest point). There is alot of swelling around the upper part of the knee cap too. If it is just a strain they can drain the fluid and start PT.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 29, 2009 -> 11:44 AM) I'm pretty sure you must have torn your ACL/MCL/Miniscus or a combination of those. Would an ACL or MCL pop in the knee? I thought it was lower like near the ankle. The miniscus is a very real possibility as the urgent care doctor was thinking that could be strained or something, but he mentioned only PT for it.

Some floormate thought it would be funny to share this site to me during the week of finals, wasted like 6 hours with friends doing sports trivia and making myself sleep deprived. Bastard.

My MRI is in 5 hours or so, and I have another appointment tomorrow with the orthopedist to find out what is going on and the plan of action. Theres still a slight possibility its just a sprain, and Im keeping my fingers crossed for that, but Im trying to brace myself for surgery at the same time, not scared of it (though it would be my first) just more pissed that I wouldnt be able to play sports for awhile, as I play as much as I can.

So I recently injured my knee playing basketball, I was running for the ball and when I reached for it my left kneecap area felt like a pop and collapsed on me. Well, after urgent care and talking to an orthopedist, I will be getting an MRI to see what is up with it. But the orthopedist was saying it did not look like a sprain that I could just use physical therapy for, and will probably require surgery, possible multiple surgeries. So my question is, anybody have knee surgery and can share some experiences with recovery time and such?

What could Carrasco get us? Hes been good for a season and a half (I think he came up about that time last year) and is cheap. He could be a cheap alternative for a team. Or would he be more value to the Sox next year then whatever we could get for him?

JD Blast!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 12:36 PM) Fields apparently only plays against lefties and when Becks needs a break. I really like the changes i've seen in his swing and I wanted to see him get more at-bats. You would think he would match up well against the softer throwing Wells too...

Looks amazing guys, good work.

What would the Bulls get in return for Hinrich, any ideas?

How about Fields for Willits? Sorry fathom. Had to.

In U.S.: It would be Chicago or California, I love both atmospheres. International: Italy, in Capri, Rome, or where my family lives near Sorano.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 01:37 PM) Danks outpitched Verlander to no avail last week. Let's hope he does the same today. I hate these games with a passion. They feel like playoff games. By the way, Verlander just got crushed today. Hopefully that continues.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 10:29 AM) Yeah, I don't know much about this guy, but sleeping with your top aide's wife doesn't make me think "quality gentleman". If Im reading this article right, this top aide seems slimy too. He finds out that his wife was cheating on him with this Senator, has a "positive encounter" with the senator, and then demands money? Quite a way to get through the grief of the news. Now, its more likely that "positive" means that no fists were thrown and this guy was actually quite upset, but the quick demand for money is quite odd to me.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) This is the perfect pitcher for Fields. You mean for him or for the pitcher?

AJ!

Richard in to run?

Becks!

That CSN guy before the game called it! What.the.f***!!!!!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 14, 2009 -> 12:44 PM) “I'm not going to say they're great at-bats, but he fights for his at-bats,” Guillen said. "I was a little aggravated [in one game when he swung at the first pitch] in four at-bats. I don't think that's the right approach. But I think [hitting coach] Greg Walker talked to him and said ‘You have to get a better approach at the plate, see more pitches’ and see how he handles it. In the field, he has played pretty well. Hopefully his bat comes along." http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-1...0,1294965.story He must not like AJ's approach then, how many times has he swung at the first pitch? I have no problem with a guy swinging at the first pitch if its right down the pipe. Now if its a borderline strike or an offspeed pitch that isnt hanging then no, you probably shouldnt pitch. But if you see a good pitch to hit, you should probably swing at it (unless of course the pitcher has been wild or something like that).

Watching the Padres-Angels game, and I must say that I wouldnt mind a Tony Gywnn as a spot in for the broadcast, but with his son playing I feel that the announcers are so pressed to give special attention to Tony Jr. that it makes it feel so awkward and forced.

Mmmmmm Erin Andrews is there.
