Injuries my foot!

"The New York Highlanders will be without the services of Frank Delahanty for awhile. He suffered a torn ankle ligaments (ugh) recently. He reportedly injured it while slipping on an oil slick. The New York left fielder will be on the shelf for at least 16-17 months."

He must have been liquored up.

"He must have been liquored up."

Now you can add that to the storyline

One other thing on injuries. I had this same type of injury happen to a AA catcher yesterday... it came up as a 16-17 month injury... but then when I looked on his player screen it said it was career ending.

So you might want to check that as well... I dont think they game properly conveys career ending.

I just got another email saying that Ed Walsh will be out 3-4 months because HIS kid ran into him on a bicycle. Sheesh!

Maybe he is related to the so called "liquored up Kicker" from the Indianapolis Colts, or should say he used to play for the Colts..Im referring to a comment Peyton Manning made about Vanderjagt when he played for the colts, it was classic, I don't have the exact quote..but something to the affect he called him a "liquored up Kicker"

Thanks for the link, I guess he called him the "idiot Kicker" I swear somebody called him "liquored up Kicker" somewhere...lol

zukes · 03-23-2007, 03:14 PM

Yeah someone mentioned that he was liquored up, I just can't remember who.

Anyway, nice to see some variety in injuries.

For my historical i set the injuries to very low, and turn off trades,free agency, and arby. I want my first 40-50 years; started in 1901, to be as close to real life as possible. Something in me has to have it that way.

These off-field injuries are great. Here's one from my first little trial league:

Quote:

A. Mercado was injured when he fell down the stairs while sleepwalking. The Diagnosis: bruised neck. This is a day-to-day injury expected to last 5 days.

I usually wait a few years to turn injuries on when starting in 1901. Not enough roster replacements.

How about this one:

"The Baltimore Orioles will be without the service of Tippy Martinez for awhile. He dislocated his shoulder recently. He reportedly injured it in a train accident."

He's out for two months. Train accident. I'm going to have to put "No being a train conductor in the offseason" clauses in all future contracts.

PeteRose4256 · 03-24-2007, 10:38 AM

How about this...

Fictional league.

Rupert Hawk has an accident. The Dallas Railcats will be without the services of Rupert Hawk for about a week. He was bit by a coyote.

No, I kid you not!
