WTF?

and since its not for the knee, they still cant void the contract right??

Guess I won't be seeing him on the 30th. Oh well.

and since its not for the knee, they still cant void the contract right??

 

Correct.

O-E-O.

 

I was interested in seeing a healthy Maggs, and seeing what he'd do outside US Cellular. It's a shame that he's hurt, it's been downhill ever since the collision with Harris...

Linky

poetic justice?

maybe to jerks

Maggs is going downhill fast

Bright side: Dmitri has an alibi.

I've had that surgery. If he's back that quick than he's a tough mother f'er

It looks like we wont get a chance to boo mags and Mags' contract will be void since he will be going on the DL with a hernia.

I bet Mags would love to have taken the Sox's money now.

I thought the only way they could void his contract was if he was on the DL for a certain amount of time for the knee?

Around the Horn.

Just to make everything clear.

yeah he has to be on the DL because of his knee for his contract to be void.

He must've gotten the hernia from the weight of carrying the Tigers' playoff hopes on his back!!!

To me it is pretty obvious what happened here. Maggs was trying to do too much before his knee was ready to handle it. As a result he over compensated with his back, and hurt himself.

i laughed when i heard this
