southsider2k5 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Wow, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Get well soon, Nomar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I'd bet imaginary soxtalk bucks that he's out for the year. It looked like an awful tear. Pulls don't do that to a tough athlete like that. I sure hate the Cubs and am embarrassed to say I revel in the demise of the Cubs pitchers but I do feel bad for Nomar because I thought he'd have an MVP year and at his age the HOF window is closing for what was once a sure thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I despise the team, not the individual players on the team. I'm really saddened to hear this injury is so serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't specifically. But the area between the navel and knees is sore with that type of injury thus he will not be able to take care of business in the missionary position for a while.

CWSGuy406 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 The "Trade for another shortstop!" rants have begun on ESPN 1000 and The Score. Who can they really get, though? I can only think of Polanco... Harry from M-J-H (duh) suggested they trade for Izturis (sp?) from the Dodgers. I just about drove off the road when I heard that. Yeah, Harry, I'm sure the Dodgers are going to sell off their starting, young shortstop... :headshake :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably just throwing out names and talking out of his ass though. I would puke watching Graffanino playing SS for the Flubs. They just mention the Cubs trading for Pablo Ozuna! Polanco seems like the one guy they could get with Chase Utley lighting it up but he wouldn't come cheap. The Phillies could try to pry Angel Guzman out of them.

Gene Honda Civic Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Polanco would be a perfect fit, but yeah, he's still going to cost something. At this point if the price is guzman you have to pay it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing the Flubs need is another injury-prone starting pitcher. Hendry loves Guzman and refuses to trade him though, so Neifi Perez could be the starter at SS for the rest of the season.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Polanco is doable if you pay the king's ransom but Furcal is a joke. He's a great player on a contending team. Depodesta is PROBABLY willign to move Izturis in spite of their record due to his salary but the asking price would likely exceed Furcal. I think it would be the likes of Guzman and Latroy Hawkins which is just not doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I don’t like to smile when someone gets hurt... even if he’s from the Cubs. Nomar is a great shortstop that can hit for average. Its just too bad that he wasn’t doing well offensively before getting injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomar is a great shortstop that can hit for average. Its just too bad that he wasn’t doing well offensively before getting injured. I actually really like Nomar too. I think he's a superstar and by that I don't mean that he's the best in the game, but he is solid. On top of being a solid player when healthy, he has a very markeatable personality. Good personality, good with the media, always smiling, always seems to say the right thing, the little rituals at the plate, having a famous athlete wife doesn't hurt, etc. All of that makes him an attraction. Too bad he's hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
