Oh God
I hope that isnt as bad as it sounds. I’m gonna start working out my rectus muscle immediately.
well technically it is 2009
I guess it’s only natural for a player to have an injury that mimics what happened to the fanbase expectations after what happened this past year.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
Hmmm....
I think this probably means the rectus abdominis muscle, as the alternative – the medial rectus muscle – is located behind the eye. The former is on your stomach – basically, there’s one either side of your belly-button running vertically down. Basically, it’s what forms your six-pack. This will probably be a relatively short-term thing: tearing a muscle is generally a lot less damaging than a tendon or ligament.

Ah, missed the "thigh" part
Make that the rectus femoris muscle. There appear to be rectuses all over the body. :-)

is a very disturbing thought.

c'mon Jim
how could I let a glorious opportunity to let anything “rectal” pass?

Any injury involving the word rectus
Is not something I would ever want to deal with.
Also, did we do something to piss off the bizzare injury gods?
Hmmmm.....
time to sacrifice a virgin

Dammit. Joke is no longer relevant (or appropriate. mostly appropriate)

Doesn't sound serious

Article says that Parra is hoping to be back in Venuzuela in 3 weeks for the post-season.
Updated
Gerardo Parra’s leg injury is not considered serious and he’ll be good to go for spring training, a team spokesman said today. Parra visited with team physician Dr. Michael Lee, who diagnosed the injury as a left quad strain. He will not play again for his winter ball team this year but he will return to Venezuela next week.
