July 27, 200520 yr Hope ou have a strong stomach for this one... :puke It sure was nice to see Jermaine Dye back in the lineup -- and contributing in a big way -- last night. His loss, along with the Big Hurt, for the Boston series certainly changed the look of our lineup. Nice to have him back. I know quite a few people enjoyed a laugh at Jermaine's spider episode. Maybe we didn't do a very good job of stressing that it was the infection that caused the problems, and it was painful. As Ken Williams described it, the bites went up and down his leg with puss and mucous seeping out. Antibiotics didn't seem to do much at first. At one point, Jermaine was laying on a table in the training room, biting on a towel in pain as they dug into the bites and tried to remove the puss and mucous. Eventually, he spent a night in the hospital getting more potent medicine. It was so hot this weekend (and since the wounds were seeping), that there was concern that if we wrapped his leg so that he could play, the mixture of sweat and puss would run down his leg would only make things worse. Of course he had to slide and hit the wall last night. Welcome back, Jermaine.

July 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) Hope ou have a strong stomach for this one... :puke ill tell you what, i just got over probably the nastiest case of poison ivy i have ever seen, and i had to wear sleeves for 3 weeks in teh heart of summer. what i had sounds very similar to JD, with the blisters and infections on them (since both spider bite and poison ivy are both allergic reactions). it wasnt fun, and it caused my entire knee to swell up quite a bit. there would be no way i woulda been able to slide on it. altho....if you paid me 4 mil a year like they do dye, i woulda slid on it
July 28, 200520 yr I think Dye's injury might possibly have actually been the clap, or crabs, brought on by some stripper he met in Cleveland.

July 29, 200520 yr If you saw Dye after he came back from the spider bites he was scaling walls and trapping balls in his web and using his new found spidy powers to hit the crap otta the ball.

July 29, 200520 yr Just found this in the L.A. Times. "They were teasing me early about being Spider-Man... And then when I made the play on the wall, they made more jokes about it. Jermaine Dye.
