We'll Miss Lance A Lot

I guess that a grade 2 sprain (whatever that means) really is bad. We all know Lance could barely hobble down to first last night, and I guess everyone figured it was about time to put him on the DL and let the leg heal. I am guessing they are making it retroactive to the 16th, when he actually hurt it, so that he could come off at the end of the month, but so far they haven't said. Something about men - they have this mind set about how if you just don't pay something no nevermind, it won't be a problem. Like how a ballplayer should just rub dirt on it or something. Like they did Back In The Good Old Days when Men Were Men, not lil pansies and played with broke bones. Of course, no one wants to remember how all those guys playing hurt ruined their careers... Anyway, the good news is that Maysonet was called back up. The bad news is that he will most likely sit on the bench because the FAR superior Matt Kata and Jason Michaels will eat up all the pinch hit ABs. grrrrrrrrrrrrr Yes, I know that the Astros won without Lance these past few days, and we probably won't need him to beat the Mets. But after that...
