Not really
Looks like he might have given himself a hamstring cramp on that play, but I don’t think it is serious. Just need to watch him closely.
How does he get a cramp in dry-ass Colorado?

I get cramps all the time when I point my toe
So I am comparing it to that, just a tight feeling in your leg.
Ah OK
Read the description below, and was only half-serious to begin with.

I guess he's ok
Although one of his pitches went right to the backstop.
BTW, he was safe.. another blown call by the umps. This one in our favor

There's probably a large percentage of Cards fans in attendance, as well
So what happens when they play the Marlins?

I saw a guy in a Marlins jersey on the Max (Portland Oregon lightrail) last week
And I was like, “Really? I didn’t know any of you existed”. It was like seeing a unicorn.

There's a few around here
Some people from LA (Lower Alabama) picked up the Marlins when they started, but they still have an Expos-esque following

Percival, the one that got away...
Ok, so Troy Percival got his 7th save of the season today for the DEVIL rays.
SO far this season he has a line of:
10 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 9 SO.
I love izzy, but he would be fun to still have….

yea
i thought he was GREAT last season for us.
i love that he used non-surgical options to cure his arm.
"Them Cubbies can kiss my ass" -Dizzy Dean
He did.
But honestly, the fans didn’t want the owner ship to sign a new closer who is older than Izzy. And Percival didn’t want to be a set up guy. He wanted to go somewhere to close. Worked out the best for everyone.
yeah
got him on the fantasy team. every time I check on his stats, there’s a nice goose egg in the ERA column

mentioned that the cards have the highest rated defense in the bigs so far. not sure which ratings he was quoting… it was in his monday ‘that’s debateable’ piece.
we are ranked first by RZR
we are #1 overall by a wide margin; our OF defense is just barely #2, but our IF defense is ridiculous.

I was a big Utah fan (Stockton and Malone). No reason, really, just liked them. I’ve fallen out with the NBA, but the Hawks were pretty exciting up againt the Celtics this year. And Utah is pretty good, too. I think the Hawks are building to become a pretty good team.
