Albert Pujols confirmed he will not have surgery on his left foot. The partial tear did it for him. #Angels

 

[Blarg]

So he cured it the VictoriousGhost way. Good for him.

[Guest]

He should come back and help the team. We didn't have enough GIDP and K's this week.

[Chris]

Problem solved.

[halobob]

Hooray, we get shitty Pujols for the next 8 years instead of fixing the problem.

[Tank]

Salmon and GA both had it and neither one had surgery. They seemed to come back healthy.

I don't think it was a recurring thing for either Salmon or GA.  For Pujols, he's been suffering from it for years.

Well this will save the Angels a lot of money.

I do worry that the recurring aspect has put a lot of pressure on his knees.   That can't be good, even if surgery is now not needed.

He is going to try to come back this season... lol nice.

[kevinb]

Maybe he should lose weight and not put as much pressure on his foot. Probably would help, then look like a slightly slimmer version of Bengie Molina

"The partial tear did it for him."

 

What does that even mean?

[Schildog]

seriously, wtf?

Am I not reading the last sentence right? Is it saying that because it was partially torn it will heal on its own?

[Jason]

Yes, for us non doctor types, how does a tear help?

I think people are misunderstanding the message here.  Electing to not have surgery isn't some stubborn quest to return too soon.  I'm assuming "the partial tear did it for him" means that it alleviated the need for surgery, as the standard procedure is to partially cut the tendon to release the tension.

Pujols is adamant about returning this season. Knowing him, not surprised. #Angels

 

Alden Gonzalez â€@Alden_Gonzalez12m

Pujols, who says he's feeling better than he has all year, will be off the boot in three weeks and take it from there. #Angels

[Mark68]

Why bother, Al?

Ya, that's my understanding of the situation as well.

$250 mil can't buy common sense.

#Angels standings wont determine if Pujols if shuts it down "whether 2 games out. 20 games out. If I feel good, going to be playing"

 

 

LOL. What an idiot

So if his foot is 100% he should just stay home and collect a check. Glad you are not my employee.

Me too, but it won't stop some from being all pissed off about it.  The AW medics are on the case!

[nate]

Need VHF to weigh in.

 

I would prefer for him to sit the rest of the season.  No need to speed his recovery.
