Somebody wake me up from this nightmare

via Tomahawk Blog

You have got to be kidding me! It has gotten to the point to where the freak injury suffered by Chipper Jones during batting practice Friday night didn't even surprise me. In fact, it was almost expected. If your name is Tim Hudson, or if you play a key roll for the Braves, you should be very nervous and maybe think about living in a bubble.

Chipper has shown to the baseball God's that he can hit just fine with just about any leg or foot injury he is given. So, they go for the eye's. The last thing a .414 hitter wants is an injury that alters his vision. As Braves fans, his chase for a .400 average was all we had left this year. I would say things couldn't get any worse, but who knows. Obviously anything is possible with this team.

Perhaps the only thing more unbelievable than the injury to Jones was that the Braves won a game on the road. This may be the first time in history that a minor league pitcher is hoping not to get called up. I can't say that I would blame them.

Who’s that dude on Chipper’s right? Is he a new bench coach or something?

Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
