I don't know, I think they'll be better than last year. What I think is kind of funny is that BJ is still winning about his shoulder. Max had basically the same injury and I haven't heard anything about it since the week it happened.

Sorry I don't find any sports injury "funny". The time required to recover from a sports injury and the extent of the recovery varies. There is absolutely no coorelation between BJ's and Max's injuries.

Sure I greatly dislike the yewts as a team but I'll don't take pleasure in any athlete's injury. :unsure:

This was a tad funny. Especially if you know what a jerk George Brett is in person.

George Brett's hemorrhoids during 1980 World Series
Brett's backside provided some comic relief during the 1980 Phillies-Royals World Series, though not to the third baseman himself, who first began suffering from hemorrhoids during the ALCS against the Yankees. In fact, he was able to play only five innings of Game 1 in Philly.

But still, the quips were, pardon the pun, endless. Reporters grilled Mike Schmidt on the brand of ointment he sent over to Brett. They asked Schmidt why he had hemorrhoid ointment in the first place, and when the Phillies third baseman admitted he had the condition throughout the 1975 season, he had to suffer questions about whether third baseman were especially prone to the condition.

Then there were jokes about Brett renegotiating his contract to include a no-slide clause.

"It's not funny," said Brett after Game 1. "I feel disgruntled Why me? Why not someone else?''

Between Games 2 and 3, Brett had an operation to relieve the condition and was able to finish the series. In six games, he batted .375 with a homer, three RBI, and even a stolen base.
