how did you do?

I only had one AB and I hit a line drive right at the left fielder.  For a second I thought it was going over his head and I was going to have a double or triple but he reached up and caught it.  Still, I got good wood on it, so I felt ok about it.  Played 3 innings at first and one in LF.

You better get over to Driveline @cals.  Seems to be where guys attempt to straighten out their swings.  Even though it appears you made line drive contact, and didn’t flail away at a pitch 2 feet off the plate.

cals is clearly the Pujols (Angels version) of his team.  His teammates are probably reconsidering the wisdom of letting him pay the league fees to be on their team.

I didn’t marry a chick with a retarded kid.

Not going to touch that one.

We lost 6-5.  We were up 5-1 but the pitching faltered at the end.  I went 1-2 and almost hit an dinger again, settled for a double.

[cals]

We won 18-1 yesterday.  I am on the DL.

Who would have thought that your team would play better without you.

Except for your team. 

And possibly everyone on this message board.

And you wife and kids.

But other than that, who would have thought?

Bite the bullet and get Tommy John surgery.  If you don't, you will waste the next three seasons of the cheap club control years, bouncing back and forth on and off the DL.

My shoulder and my elbow feel fine.  Honestly after all this time off they feel great.  

But I basically sprained my left wrist.  I assume it was from swinging the bat but I don’t know.  I had an MRI and I have tenosynovitis of the sheath of the ECU tendon.  I’ve been doing physical therapy and hope to play this weekend or next.  

But I guess it’s par for the course.  I’m 48 and out of shape.  Things don’t work like they used to.

At least it’s motivated me to exercise more, stretch regularly and be more aware of my health.  I’m at that age where some people are still active and healthy orthopedicly and others start to fall apart.  I don’t want to fall apart.

Tendon injury.  That's how it always starts.  Tommy John surgery time.  Or amputation if you are diagnosed by an Angels medical staff member.

All the doctors in your family would be disappointed.  I have a wrist injury.  Not elbow.  

But if Tommy John is the patron saint of overused elbows then I assume @mmc would be for overused wrists.  Hey mmc, after your million self-sessions thinking of your pretend Canadian GF during lockdown, did you ice the wrists or what?

[cals]

We won 7-4 today.  I played 1B and LF but didn’t bat, my wrist isn’t there yet.  Anyways, I got a good group of guys and we’re looking pretty solid.  

We could use more cheerleaders @m0nkey….

6 wins in a row.  I’m back off the DL.  Our pitcher pitched a CG 1 hit shutout and struck out 23.  Yes, 23.
