OK, what the hell..
 

I thought Sheffield was out for 2-3 months with a broken thumb.

What's going on.

He played with it last year so he figured he could play with it this year and decided to not have the big operation

Well shit. I did not know this. This is good, for I have him on one of my baseball teams. I had missed the draft, and would not have taken him. The Auto-Drafting Computer therefore saved my bacon.

I swear if you have to spend 2-3 months nursing a broken thumb you are just a big pussy

I hurt my thumb more than a year ago. Not broke or anything, just hurt it bad. It still gives me troubles. Also my baby finger on the same hand. There are days when I have so much pain...

Anyway 2-3 months out for someone who's job it is to hold a bat isn't all that long relatively speaking.

I bet if he played for Minnesota you'd say "Well, we need to nurse him along...better safe than sorry."

Hahahaha I have my work cut out for me to be the big Minnesota-biased sports fan on these boards.

But I do :heart: Sheffield, even if he got in bed with Satan.

Yeah seriously, try gripping a bat with a broken thumb and still be as effective as you are full strength and them come back and tell me hes a ****ing pussy.

Hell it's tough with just a jammed finger, much less a broken one.

Maybe he just has it in a brace that forces it to fit around a bat. CHEATER! o_O

Also, I'm sure the steroids he's on make it a lot easier to hold a bat :y:

thumb 'roids

I bet I wouldn't, cause baseball players from Minnesota aren't pussys. They don't play for money, they play for heart.


(I hope you know I am being moderately sarcastic)

Anyway though, his finger must honestly be shattered if it was going to keep him out that long. I broke my finger once and it took like maybe a month at most to get it working again. He must not have a bone left.

while it might seem the same, finger v. thumb big difference. Especially when gripping a bat to hit a 95mph fastball

Do you play baseball by any chance BCWWF?
