May 20, 200421 yr Maggs = bruised knee-cap. Phewww...the season is not over, afterall. Thank God. I was afraid with everyone laughing at everybody else's injuries that the baseball gods were going to even the score.
May 20, 200421 yr Author Thank God. I was afraid with everyone laughing at everybody else's injuries that the baseball gods were going to even the score. No s***! Post game just said they're not gonna know anything else until tomorrow.
May 20, 200421 yr Thank God. I was afraid with everyone laughing at everybody else's injuries that the baseball gods were going to even the score. Good point. I think that's really lame when people in here laugh or get happy when injuries occur to other teams. Maybe this will remind them OUR guys can go down at anytime.
May 20, 200421 yr That is good news. How long does it take to heal a "bruised knee cap"? Not sure, but i know we cannot afford to lose mags for a few games, i think he will be out there tomorrow
May 20, 200421 yr That is good news. How long does it take to heal a "bruised knee cap"? Typically around 10-12 seasons
May 20, 200421 yr I'm worried about Willie, the guy has been playing great and I don't want anything to stop that and an injury could definitely slow him down a little bit.
May 20, 200421 yr Typically around 10-12 seasons That's it? Wow, I would have expected at least the 15 year DL.
May 20, 200421 yr Thank God. I was afraid with everyone laughing at everybody else's injuries that the baseball gods were going to even the score. Baseball gods already shot a couple warning shots across the bow in the form of Frank's and Jose's hamstrings. Next time it will be something season-ending.
May 20, 200421 yr heres some pics: Chicago White Sox second baseman Willie Harris (1) and right fielder Magglio Ordonez (30) collide after Harris caught a fly ball by Cleveland Indians' Omar Vizquel in the seventh inning Wednesday, May 19, 2004, in Cleveland. Harris and Ordonez left the game after this play. Harris appeared to roll his left ankle as he tried to avoid Ordonez, who seemed to injure his left leg when he bumped into his teammate.
May 20, 200421 yr another Chicago White Sox's Willie Harris, left, grimaces as Magglio Ordonez, right, lies on the ground after they collided after Harris caught Cleveland Indians' Omar Vizquel's fly ball in the seventh inning Wednesday, May 19, 2004 in Cleveland. Harris and Ordonez left the game after the play. The White Sox won 15-3.
May 20, 200421 yr I hope their fine. If not, then talk about killing two birds with one stone for the Indians.
May 20, 200421 yr :banghead NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO WE CAN'T LOSE OUR BIG WILLIE STYLE! Maggs WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT! BIG WILLIE STYLE=WINS! I HOPE IT'S NOT SERIOUS! Then while have to rely on black hole Jose! :banghead :headshake :headshake
May 20, 200421 yr I'm worried about Willie, the guy has been playing great and I don't want anything to stop that and an injury could definitely slow him down a little bit. I hear that! But, at least Uribe can go in for him tomorrow if he can't play, and he's been having a great season as well. I know we lose lots of speed on the basepaths, as well on the defensive side, but Uribe sure can hit, which somewhat offsets the forementioned...I hope nothing serious is up though.
May 20, 200421 yr I hope Willie's alrite, I'd hate to see him get injured when his bat is coming around nicely. Oh yeah, hope Maggs is ok too.
May 20, 200421 yr That is good news. How long does it take to heal a "bruised knee cap"? Maggs was quoted in today's Trib as saying he could have stayed in the game yesterday. Willie they will know more about today.
May 20, 200421 yr not good to be playing in the Twinkie Dome without Willie. We need all the speedy legs we can find in that hell hole.
May 20, 200421 yr from the white sox website: CLEVELAND -- The joy of the White Sox's 15-3 win over the Indians on Wednesday night was tempered by injuries to second baseman Willie Harris and right fielder Magglio Ordonez. The two players collided while converging on a pop fly to shallow right off the bat of Omar Vizquel in the seventh. Harris was tracking the ball while running backwards. Ordonez was running full speed and tried to make a basket catch while sliding, but he slid directly into Harris' legs. "He saw me at the last second and jumped," Ordonez said of Harris. "If he didn't see me, he could've broken his neck." Harris made the catch, flipped in the air and landed awkwardly on his left shoulder, but his legs were in immediate pain. "When it first happened, I was scared to look down," Harris said. The collision, as it turned out, looked much worse than it actually was. The Sox's trainers came on the scene and began to give treatment to both players for several minutes. Harris and Ordonez were then removed from the game. Harris had a bruised left shin and ankle, and Ordonez had a bruised left knee. They will be evaluated day-to-day, and their status is not known for Thursday's game against the Twins, manager Ozzie Guillen said. "I don't think it's a big thing -- a couple bruises," Guillen said. "I was worried it was something worse, but it's not that bad." Harris and Ordonez were still feeling sore after the game. Both said the collision was nobody's fault. "I'm supposed to keep going back until I hear somebody call me off, and I didn't hear anything," Harris said. "It's part of the game. I'd rather get hurt playing hard." Both Harris and Ordonez are key cogs in the White Sox's lineup. Harris is batting .308 this season, while Ordonez is hitting .299. Their absence would be a major blow to the team. "You pray to keep everybody healthy all year long," Guillen said, "but that's tough to do." ========================================= Hopefully its not too bad and maybe, just maybe they could be in the game tonight(at least one of them)............
