Chipper Jones is Ken Griffey compared to Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.
*sigh*: Chipper Jones and his maladies are resistant to the miracles
of modern medicine. He continues to bruise like a grape. I had tried staring at his ankles during his last game to test my hypothesis that he would hurt himself, then go on the DL. The hand-hurts thing must have had a stronger mojo than my mind meld.
Here is what Chipper has done thus far:
League Leaders 2007
• Ranks 4th in NL in HR (12)
• Ranks 11th in NL in OBP (.392)
• Ranks 2nd in NL in SLG (.625)
• Ranks 2nd in NL in OPS (1.017)
Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones is going on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised right hand. Manager Bobby Cox said the team will place Jones on the disabled list on Saturday. He has been experiencing pain in both hands since a baserunning collision on May 11 and had missed seven straight games before the Braves opened a weekend series against the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Jones received a cortisone shot following the game on May 23 but noticed no improvement. [ESPN]
Chipper is putting on a clinic showing players how to go through the motions after losing their desire to play the game. I can’t wait until he is gone from the Braves. Goodbye Larry, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

You know how I know your gay?
Your hands hurt after a baserunning collision.
