Better now then later

When did the china doll company start pondering the Angels?

Hopefully this isn't something that lingers throughout the year. Depends on severity of the strain, but right now they're considering it a minor strain.

[QuinlansMinion]

How long would he be out.

[mota_madness]

This is ridiculous! i smell lakers 2013 -2014 season....next pujols with plantar fasciitis in his other foot....   

[WallyWorld]

Next: Howie pulls a hammy

[Chimi]

He will be out until the All Star break and then when he comes back the FO will liken it to getting a major trade acquisition right before the deadline.

For the Angels, "minor strain" means anywhere from six weeks to three months.

 

If it lingers all year, his numbers will probably be in the toilet.

 

I can't stand this anymore!

• Grade 1 Calf Strain: The muscle is stretched causing some small micro tears in the muscle fibers. Full recovery takes approximately two weeks.
• Grade 2 Calf Strain : There is partial tearing of muscle fibers. Full recovery takes approximately 5-8 weeks.
• Grade 3 Calf Strain: This is the most severe calf strain with a complete tearing or rupture of muscle fibers in the lower leg. Full recovery can take 3-4 months and, in some instances, surgery may be needed.

I'm guessing "minor strain" is the grade 1. So............... 3-4 months out.

Well look on the bright side everyone.  Its not like he was any good anyways.

@JeffFletcherOCR: Josh Hamilton strained his left calf today. Out at least 4-5 days. Says he's not worried. On crutches now. #Angels

@JeffFletcherOCR: Josh Hamilton, on strained left calf: "I'm not concerned about it. It sucks because I was swinging the bat well." #Angels

If he's on the shelf for 3 months they had better call back the accountability guy.

Someone, or some thing, has it in for our team. This is ridiculous.

[CanadianHalo]

Yep this sucks.

[SoWhat]

Time to rebuild

[Chuck]

lol. You guys never fail to deliver the hyperbole.

[WallyWorld]

social media is a double-edge sword.  this kind of stuff has always happened in ST, we just didn't hear about it until recently.  

[Llewyn Davis]

Hopefully, it's not too serious. But we have enough depth to weather the storm for awhile.

Shuck time baby!!!
