Yeah, it's going to be a while. And then there's the question of the difficulty of getting back in the saddle. That is not easy. I hope he heals well and doesn't try to rush back.

Today I'm going with my wife to see the Mets play in Citi Field queens Ny. It will be the first time I've been to see a Major League Baseball game since 2007 when I saw the Mets play the Yankees in an inter league game. It will also be the first time attending a game at Citi field.

I just paid 18 bucks for a single can of beer. And I always had you pegged for one of the smartest posters on these boards.... But maybe the beer came with a free BMW?

@mrp and wildfire2099Houck -- so far -- is on the 15-day list. I'm suspecting that will be extended, but who knows?

@mrp and Houck -- so far -- is on the 15-day list. I'm suspecting that will be extended, but who knows? Report I read today said the Sox medical staff hasn't determined yet whether surgery will be needed, so I'm sure the 15 day was a placeholder so they could juggle to roster for the double header today and they will figure out how long he will actually be out when that decision is made. If it is going to be a while, he will likely stay on the 15 until they need a spot on the 40 man roster for a call up, then he would go on the 60 day. The 15 day gives them time and flexibility to figure things out, the 60 day ties their hand on when he can return. -M

@mrp and wildfire2099... Houck will have surgery sometime next week to put a plate in his cheek. No timetable on his return, though earlier tonight Alex Speier said that Chris Bassett was back a month after similar surgery a couple of years ago. That would mean late July at the earliest. We’ll see.

poor guy. I think the mental bit is more significant than the injury for something like that.

Several days behind, as usual, but I just finished watching the Super Rugby Pacific semi-final between the Crusaders and the Blues, which turned out to be a disappointingly one-sided blow-out. I don't know if the Crusaders just have their number or what, but it was far worse than last year's Final between the same two teams and I thought that was a disappointment, with the Crusaders winning handily after the Blues had been the best team in the competition all year (2022, that is).
This year it's been the Chiefs. I wasn't able to see their semi-final against the Brumbies but from the highlights it was a tight, low-scoring affair, a complete contrast to this one. So it's the Crusaders (again) and the Chiefs in the Final. I don't have a preference, my team, the Hurricanes, having been knocked out in the quarter-finals.

Nice HBO documentary about Howard Cosell. I remember watching Cosell as a kid. My Dad absolutely hated him...but he never turned him off. And that was the genius of the man (Cosell).
