Another Couple of Injuries!: Peter

Well, Jenn, this is getting ridiculous! It's as if our guys are playing in Afghanistan! Last night, Dusty hit a hard shot off his foot and had to leave the game. We now learn that his foot is broken and he's on the DL! On top of injuries to Jake and Cameron and on and on and on. But it ain't over! Unf---ingbelievable!Right now, I'm watching the Sox live against El Gigantes here in SF and Bucky gets on base with his first MLB hit, a single past second into short right center. Next guy up hits a hard grounder to short and Bucky's running to second, where, unfortunately, he becomes the front end of a DP. OK, that happens, no big deal, right? What IS a big deal is while running to second, Bucky pulls up lame and has injured his left leg right behind the knee. First diagnosis (if we're lucky) is it's a low hamstring pull. Unspoken much worse case possibility: some kind of ligament damage and possibly goodbye season. MRI will tell by tomorrow. To the good, Atchison comes in, much as he had to a few weeks back when Dice had arm stiffness just before game time, and sets down the G-men, 1,2,3, including a K. As of this moment, Sox still lead four zip, on two HR's. I tell ya', Jenn, at this rate, it'll be a miracle if anyone is still healthy by next month!
