It stretched his foot, and it sort of tore up by the top where his toe is. They put a lot of stitches in, but mainly to secure it.

Yunel Escobar had to leave Thursday's game with a strained abdominal muscle, which he injured jumping up and down in the on-deck circle, warming up." (AJC) (2) Sep 25

File this under “boys will be boys — and sodomizers”. In Las Vegas, New Mexico (yes, it exists … kind of like California, Missouri), a high school football camp turned took a sore turn for the worst when the pre-season hazing and initiation rituals um, just read it.

As we all know by now, the Miami Heat have shut Dwyane Wade down for the season. Would this have happened if the Heat’s season wasn’t – for all intents and purposes – over? Probably not. Keep in mind though, Wade is, after all, one of the most oft-injured players in the NBA today.
