My injury situation is at least ten times worse than Dressel's


Matsui - who blew his wrist into a million pieces.

Brian Roberts missed a few weeks with a groin pull - he's back but isn't performing at the level that he was before.

Damon, despite 5 separate nagging injuries, hasn't missed many games - hopefully he won't start to.

Halladay missed a few starts early in the year.



I mean, I could barely count all that on one hand.

"Damon said his hamstring problem was connected to his lower back problem. It has nothing to do with his aching left shoulder, his painful right elbow or the cracked bone in his right foot."

Looks like my team is as banged up as Dressel, the difference being that I've got one guy who's injured 5 times instead of 5 guys who are injured once.

I take it back, the way the Heat are playing now, they head back to Dallas up 3-2.

Yeah - given my luck they'll tack 5 games on because Barrett had the audacity to appeal.

Go for it Brian.

The avatar is just Ben Rothlisberger drunk off his ass.

I have ONE carded Sandtrooper.  Still looking for a dozen or so openers - and it isn't looking good.

I'd like to take this opportunity to rant a little about Teixeira again.

I'm really really losing my patience with him. 

66 games into the season the guy has 6 HR's and 33 RBI's.  Considering I used the #4 pick on him, that's pathetic.  Last year he finished up with 43 HR's and 144 RBI.  He's on pace for about half that unless he turns it around soon.  Here's a list of players on my team who have been more productive

Teixeira: 37 R, 6 HR, 34 RBI, 0 SB, .286
-------------------------------------------------
David Wright - 42 R, 13 HR, 47 RB, 10 SB, .335
Miguel Tejada - 53 R, 16 HR, 51 RBI, 3 SB, .330
Andruw Jones - 39 RBI, 16 HR, 56 RBI, 3 SB, .270
Jermaine Dye - 37 R, 19 HR, 48 RBI, 3 SB, .301
Johnny Damon - 49 R, 9 HR, 31 RBI, 13 SB, .290
Scott Rolen - 42 R, 8 HR, 43 RBI, 4 SB, .351 (In 70 fewer at bats...)
Alex Rios - 45 R, 15 HR, 49 RBI, 8 SB, .341
Nomar Garciaparra - 36 R, 7 HR, 41 RBI, 2 SB, .356

Every one of those guys is better than Teixiera in EVERY category except for Jones in batting average and Damon in RBI.  ****, Johnny Damon has 3 HR more than Teixieria... I should have picked Soriano at #4 and looked for a 1B later on... there were plenty out there.  Even better, Teixeira isn't even on Yahoo's can't-cut-list anymore.  I've been thinking about just putting Garciaparra in at 1B but I know that the minute I bench him is the minute he blows up for 3 HR's in a night...

It's not as depressing as Dressel's injury problems, but it's ******* depressing.
