| Allow me to start off by saying I did see the Jackson/Damon collision, and it was indeed brutal.
However, I get so annoyed by how so many baseball players seem like such friggin pansies. They miss games for the lamest, tiniest injury, like stubbing a toe on first base or throwing the ball too hard. A strained groin is a horrible baseball injury, and can "hamper a guy's entire season" -- HOW? The average player spends, what, 40 seconds of a baseball game running, and even then they're always slacking off and jogging.
It just bugs me I guess, as a football and hockey fan. I remember early last year, Peyton Manning fracturing his jaw, missing ONE play, and returning. Hell, Gilbert Brown has played 5 games so far this year with a ruptured bicep, which was supposed to end his season (and likely career, he's old). A baseball player will miss like a week if they're cut on the face -- a hockey player might miss 5 minutes. |
