Just after Tax Day, Rob mentioned in his Ten Games In -- Who's Hot & Who's Not that Jason Isringhausen had:

seven appearances in ten games and that can't continue.

Ask and ye shall receive. 10 days later Izzy's on the DL.

Then I posted a baseball card of Mama Molina on Mother's Day. Apparently akin to featuring anyone on the cover of Sports Illustrated, posting a photo of a player's mother on TBW is his ticket to a sprained ankle.

And now Ryan had to go start worrying out loud about Rolen's health in the comments to Rob's Screwy Lefties post on Monday:

I just wonder if Rolen's slightly injured still, not enough to sit, but just enough to affect his performance in the field and at the plate. He's only hitting .253(ish), and while 2004 was a career year, he's still more like a .290s hitter.

As you know by now, Scotty the Body plowed into Hee Sop Choi (Korean for "Squishy Immovable Mountain") last night and sprained his left shoulder.

Quoth Scotty:

I heard it pop when I hit (Dodgers first baseman Hee-Seop Choi). I guess it's - for lack of a better term - a sprain. (Weinberg) said 24, 48 hours (and we'll) kind of see how it reacts and go from there.

For godsakes, before anyone else gets hurt, please confine your posts/comments to the benign and the mundane. Either that, or let's begin discussing players on another team.

For example:

That Derek Lee sure is on fire, I hope he doesn't step into an open manhole or something...

or,

That Mark Prior sure is a handsome guy. It would be a shame if he got his kisser stuck in a waffle iron...

or even,

Lyle Overbay seems to have finally put it all together. Good for him.

See? Isn't that better?

What? He pulled his hamstring? What a shame....

Addendum: Never, EVER, mention Derek Lee again.
