Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

SnakeBytes 7/21: Day After Edition

I feel like I'm still sort of in shock over last night's game. Just kind of left you feeling sick, in every way.

Recaps:

Ugh, just scrolling past the pictures of the injury turns my stomach...

Just announced
Phils sign P Aaron Heilman to minor league contract. He will go to AAA

Well

I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to work his way into their major league rotation easily enough.

Yup, any day now…

And if he does?

Then

Given the Phillies current starting rotation and the number of injuries that it would require for Heilman to make starts in the majors, I expect the wailing and gnashing of teeth from Phillies fans to be strong enough to knock the earth out of orbit, so baseball would hardly be our biggest of concerns.

That might

be the biggest FAIL ever in all of baseball.

But if he made it to the playoffs,

it might mean that the outcome could be the opposite.

Well

Should the Phillies make the playoffs (likely) and Heilman’s on their roster (unlikely) it would have to be in the scenario kishi described.

Any idea what you really said there?

I thought so,

words strung together to form a sentence lacking substance.

I like this post

It’s very meta.

as a lawyer

i can’t help but hope for a clarifying comment on what exactly defines “work his way into [the Phillies’] major league rotation”

by blue bulldog on Jul 22, 2011 12:50 AM EDT up reply actions  

Well

“Work his way” seems to imply that it would be on merit, rather than the unfortunate consequence of a flu outbreak

Tough day for Dbacks players and former players

Is it some kind of omen that our former amazing up-the-middle duo are both badly injured on the same day?

DROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHHYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Yikes... hoping Hudson's okay.

Recent Stories sidebar for Baseball Nation says “Hudson Feeling Fine,” so that’s great news.
