Alexei's going to have to shorten his swing against Weaver. Good pitches to hit in both of his ABs.

Of course, 90% of the games are this year! So glad I live in Indiana.

Wonder how long they'll let Pena go? Our bullpen should be pretty well-rested. Gotta go for the win tonight, and then let Garcia go long tomorrow.

I can't believe we haven't heard anything about the area of injury yet.

Symptoms of Biceps Tendon Tear

 

The symptoms can vary from case to case depending on the location and intensity of the injury. Often a 'popping' sound may be heard when the injury strikes, followed by pain around the shoulders or arms. The pain might come and go, and it is not often extreme, but it is likely to increase with physical activity. If the tear occurs at the 'long head' (the proximal biceps tendon) in the upper biceps, the shoulders can become noticeably sore. Distal tendon tears are regularly characterised by a bulging lump or bump in the upper arm, due to the chaotic loosening and contracting caused by the tear. Any of these symptoms should be taken seriously and reported to a qualified doctor.

If it's a biceps tear, Jake has some explaining to do. The only baseball players I've seen have that happen in recent years were notorious PEDs users. I doubt it's this though.

Get someone up in the pen, let's not just give this game away!

Time to get Cliff Lee.

 

just cuz there was a pop doesnt mean biceps tear by any stretch of the imagination...thats like going to the Doc and saying I have a cough and him instantly diagnosing you with tuberculosis

You can hear a "pop" with any injury involving a muscle, tendon, or ligament. The pop doesn't really narrow it down too much.

 

Or an Oswalt/Berkman package.

This team needs offensive upgrades a lot more than we need an upgrade from Daniel Hudson.

Like who?

Except that he grabbed his Bicep according to Farmer, which is what I'm basing this off of, and not just pure speculation

Or an Oswalt/Berkman package.

 

Astros want teams to pick up all of Oswalt's salary, as well as 3 MLB ready players in return.

Like who?

 

Dean Palmer is first one that comes to mind.

Agreed, Quentin heard a pop with his heel last season.

Tony Pena sucks so badly.

Holy cow, Pena is terrible. PULL HIM!

This coupled with all the NBA bulls*** and the fact that i have to get up to work tomorrow... I'm going to bed.

Haha, this made me laugh and immediately think of House... I f***ing love Hugh Laurie.

Why exactly did we not keep Carrasco?

Tony Pena sucks so badly.

 

They're just going to leave him out there to die. It sucks Peavy got hurt, but you still have to manage to win and not just eat innings.

Where's our resident doctor on the board when we need him?

fathom is playing this role tonight based on his many "the world is ending" posts

 

Let's wait for some postgame info.
