Maybe Victor is back before Hafner. This from Will Carroll’s UTK on Friday:

Victor Martinez (30 DXL/$2.5 million)
At least we have something of an explanation now. Martinez has been playing on a sore hamstring, but now it turns out that he’s also been playing through a elbow issue caused by bone chips. Those chips can be easily removed, allowing for a quick, pain-free comeback. A couple of seasons back, Rich Aurilia came back from this kind of thing in the 15-day minimum, but Martinez has the complicating factor of being a catcher. I’d expect that this will take more like a month for his return, but that time off should also help his legs heal up and rest. Once back, it will be interesting to see just how much of the power outage can be blamed on the elbow, or whether this is a Hafner-esque slide.

They tried to make Pronk go to rehab. He said, “No, no, no.”

No need to rush him. At this point, he would force somebody off the roster who is hitting better than he is.
He could be headed for 10 days in Akron and Buffalo.

Can’t believe you people rec’d this. You know that I’m no good.

It’s amazing what passes for recs these days. I expected my fish rant to get booed out of the room.

Apologies for the rushed photoslop job.

This is officially the most horrific photoshop I have seen on this website this season.

I think that’s a compliment.

Sweet sassy molassy.

I just can’t stop looking at it.

Did you add her breast tattoo? With a pocket?

That’s the closest I could come to the “Blake’s” tattoo on Winehouse’s breast. The pocket-y thing looks like it’s part of the tattoo as well.

I thought the Blake’s was funny, given Haf’s and Casey’s rapport.

It does have a nice tie-in.

Did anyone read the Rolling Stones article? Fascinating girl. Sure to be dead in a year.

My news feeder digs up so much stuff on this character that it has become a nuisance.

Here’s the thing: Brittany, Amy—-they’ll all be ok. They survive. It’s an exhibit. She has problems, sure, but it’s not as bad as it appears.

It will always be the Heath Ledgers of the celebrity world who actually self-destruct.

To add: this has been her desgin from the day she appeared before us as a star, unlike-say-an Anna Nicole.

The photoshop is hilarious if you imagine Hafner singing in a canyon-deep baritone.

I find it hard to say “they survive” to a woman who snorts vodka straight up her nostril.

She’s got talent though.

No doubt she’s a wreck, flirting with destitution, but her substance abuse is kept in the open. The clandestine junkies who appear to be quite fine on the surface of things are more profoundly self-abusive. She’ll “be fine” in the sense that she’ll probably go on living.

I have no idea how such a small girl can have such a big voice.

I know what you mean about it being nuisance…try living in the same part of town! She’s constantly in the papers over here…so I was aghast she’s penetrated the of t’internet too!

Kudos on the photshop though to emd2k3….stellar work

It’s the eyebrows and lashes that get me…no seriously, the rest doesn’t bother me.
Just the eyebrows and lashes…

That’s the part that pushes it past “funny” and into “awesome.”

Good lord, that is delightful.

For accuracy’s sake, the actual quote linked contains the word “wants” rather than “needs.” I have no idea of the significance of one word over another, except maybe the origin of the decision (want=Hafner, need=team/front office/trainers).

Shave Eric Wedge!
