Bucs announcers say

he was “escorted” to the clubhouse by Weinberg. Better than “carried” or “helped” to the clubhouse. Probably a turn; might not be bad … but then again, it might.

he walked off the field

and i saw the replay, he twisted his ankle, nothing to worry about.

i would say he limped off the field

with the injury “luck” the Birds have, i’ll believe he’s OK when i see it with my own eyes

Ankle twists

don’t mean the same thing for a pro athlete’s body as for ours. Lots more muscle mass attached to those tendons! He’s probably not hurt too badly … but …

I suppose being shot repeatedly is slightly better..

than being slowly dissolved by acid, yes.

We used to play that game in high school – what’s the worst way to die.

So what’s the baseball loss equivalent of being eaten alive from the inside by rats? Cause I’m thinking this is ranking up there. It doesn’t involve the Cubs or post-season play, but it sucks. Hard.
