The Injury update menu on the left margin of the main page says Travis Hafner is “excused”. Is that for real or a joke? I haven’t read anything that says he’s been placed on the DL. What’s going on here?

Interesting Game

This is going to be an interesting game for the Tribe. I hope they can pull it out. Seattle just designated Wilkerson and Norton so they could bring up Balentien and Clement – their two young studs. Balentien will start in right for Seattle from now on and expect Clement to go in for Vidro if Vidro falters. Let’s go Tribe!

Hmm. The Seattle lineup has Ichiro playing CF; no one in right. For God’s sake, hit the ball to right!

I missed the memo about Hafner. No one is in here; looks like I missed the memo about the Gamethread boycott too.

Fixed, good catch. The automatic lineup thing is confused by Balentien, who was called up just a few hours ago, so I was fixing it on the fly.

Everyone know that. But has he been DL’d or sumpin?

by jhon on Apr 30, 2008 7:15 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No DL announcement. I assume there won’t be any, since he’s been playing like he’s hurt for a year now and everyone keeps saying this isn’t the problem. Just a night off.

Shapiro and four security guards escorted Hafner to the parking lot and told him not to come back until they called for him.

Like, they had a big, teary intervention last night and he’s going into rehab?

Fixing his vision? Or left arm paralysis?

Something like that?

The sidebar on this very site lists him as disabled. I’m just wondering if it’s official, that he’s off to the desert to find his spirit animal.

Get used to it, it’s only going to get worse.

This season, I’m older than the entire roster for the first time.

Hmm, how old is the oldest player?

Ugh, he’s got me by a year and half, then.

Last year we had Oldberto (Nov 64) at the start and Lofton (May 67) at the end.

We need to start an SBN Flyers site, because I’m dying for a Game Thread during these.

Despite all of my best intentions, I have not, in fact, grown up to be a debaser.

We need to find a functioning Flyers blogger and recruit him/her. SBN doesn’t like to spontaneously start new blogs. We had this whole situation with a Cavs blog, I was ready to start a blog-by-committee with three guys, and they were basically like, thanks but no thanks, we only do this exactly one way, we’d rather have LeBron go to the playoffs five years in a row with no SBN Cavs blog the whole time rather than try something different.

Not that I’m bitter.

Bah. I guess next year’s task is to start a Flyers blog, then. I can understand them wanting a preexisting audience, I guess, but that’s still a pain in the ass.

It isn’t about the pre-existing audience so much as the pre-existing consistent writer.

there’s quite a few message boards out there, but yeah, no blog type stuff like this.
