SSH2005 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...ack=1&cset=true 2 hernias slowed Podsednik January 28, 2006, 9:35 PM CST Scott Podsednik has proof his second-half decline in stolen bases can be attributed to injuries more severe than first thought. The White Sox's left fielder revealed at SoxFest that he underwent surgery nine weeks ago to repair two hernias. "I had an inguinal hernia as well as a sports hernia," he said. "They weren't going to heal and they were ripped. They sewed it up and it shouldn't present any problems." Podsednik stole 59 bases in the regular season, but only seven the last two months. "Clearly, you can't tell everything from numbers, but numbers sometimes speak for themselves," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Maybe this will quiet some of the crap that Pods took in the second half now... That took some balls to play through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be less hernias and more groin pulls.... Anyone dating Rosie O'Donnell would have to worry about hernias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I don't get it. So hernias magically give you home-run power? And better yet, mad-clutchness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although kudos to him for getting through that and not complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That took some balls to play through. Carlos Lee fans will continue to criticize Pods, despite him being a better ball player in every asset besides power. People keep on pointing at getting thorwn out on the basepaths during our slump, ever hear of decoys?? The Sox obviously knew that Pods wasnt gonna be as effective, but continued to give him the green light because pitchers have to take account for him, most more than the hitter at the plate. If Scotty all of sudden stopped running, even though he was going through some tough injuries, the threat is gone and doesnt set up for Iguchi, Dye and Paulie. Ask Clement if he wasnt worried about Scotty in Game 1 of the ALDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 He probably got a sports hernia from so much head first sliding. He slams his chest on the ground everytime he dives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
