dogwelder Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 From the WaPost article: Quote Strasburg, 35, continues to deal with “severe nerve damage,” according to three people with knowledge of his situation. He has struggled with mundane tasks, such as lifting his young daughters or opening a door with his right hand. Last summer, when he tried and failed to return — making three rehab outings before that final start in Miami — Strasburg sometimes couldn’t stand for long without his hand going completely numb. To cope with it, he would lie down on his side and press his hand against his chest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 As if shit wasn't crazy enough for the White Sox... Tonight's Vanilla Ice post-game concert was cancelled due to "technical issues." Those technical issues were two people being shot in the stadium bleachers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbymark Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 There's a rumor circulating that an off duty cop had his gun discharge. As if the Sox weren't a big enough shit show this year. This is going going to feed a certain demographics hysteria about big cities being crime cesspools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 During yesterday's Braves/Rockies game - two idiots ran and basically assaulted Ronald Acuna Jr Quote Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was confronted by two fans in right field during Monday's game at Coors Field, an encounter that left the star player knocked to the ground. In the seventh inning against the Colorado Rockies, an individual ran onto the field to take a selfie with Acuna, putting his arm around the player before security personnel dashed over. While security worked to pry the individual off Acuna, another individual ran onto the field and rushed toward Acuna, appearing to make contact with him and knocking him to the ground. Acuna sat on the grass as security dealt with the individuals. He got up on his own power. Atlanta had just scored four runs to take a 9-4 lead before the incident happened. Acuna did not appear to be injured because of the incident, smiling afterward and flashing a thumbs-up sign. "I was a little scared at first," Acuna said through an interpreter. "I think the fans were out there and asking for pictures. I really couldn't say anything because at that point, security was already there and we were already kind of tangled up, but security was able to get there and everything's OK. We're all OK, and I hope they're OK." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 If you mean the coach [Tom Gamboa], it was like a 35 year old guy and teenage son. What I meant was a little kid (pre teen) attacking someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 we're damn lucky those goofs that ran onto the field when Hank Aaron broke the record were just high as fuck and/or wanted to run around the bases with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Quote the shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during a #WhiteSox game was indeed an accidental discharge by one of the women “grazed” by the bullet. She reportedly snuck the gun in past metal detectors hiding it in the folds of her belly fat. MURICA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
