Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.
Around SBN: Interview With UMD Athletic Director, Dr. Debbie Yow

He will bring great intangibles to the DL

Today the Arizona Diamondbacks took the plunge and placed Eric Byrnes on the 15 day disabled list.

It was a difficult decision to make with his sub 300 on base percentage and his ability to get the pitchers back to the bump quickly with his regular double plays. Byrnes was devout in his attempts to date to blind infielders all over the NL with towering popups into the sun during the season's first two months. While it is to early to tell if his unique strategy will pay off during the pennant chase it has yet to produce any immediate results.  

No official word yet if tickets sold for the next 15 days will be fully refunded as the fans will obviously have no desire to watch the first place club without its inspirational leader. Or if the team will be playing with black arm bands for the next 15 days.

All kidding aside let's hope Byrnes gets healthy during his time on the DL. That he comes back and helps the club win.

I was hoping for to see Trot Nixon with the Big Club though.

It’s good to see the organization be proactive and nip these potentially nagging injuries in the bud rather than allow their players to try work their way out of it and play through the pain.

I can only imagine what sort of debacle this could have potentially become had BoMel chosen not to be so prudent.

I’m a little slow tonight, was about to reply but the sarcasm slowly sunk in—

About time

Get well (and in form) soon Eric

Can I just ask why the hell Nixon wasn’t called up?!

So...time for another drink then?

To be fair Byrnes was kinda heating up at the plate, remember the grand slam?

Over 2 weeks to heal up, he should be fine when he comes back.

Brandon Webb, do I need to say more?

Heating up?

He was still batting in the .2(teens).

Good move and long overdue.

I said kinda.

As opposed to Upton who is kinda not heating up.

by TwinnerA on May 28, 2008 6:14 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes.

Brandon Webb, that's all I'm going to say.

Now what will people talk about?

Snakepit will be a ghost town by weekend.

The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.

Well, we could talk about- No, wait, never mind, forgot those two rules.

Great title

Couldn’t contain my laughter when I read that title. I wish him the best though, my problem has been with Melvin, dahlian has a nice take on it above

This post made me laugh,

although I do believe that it’s just a hair mean-spirited.

Still makes me laugh, though. Don’t worry.
