Please don't try to dissuade me or defend them because I'd just laugh at you if you tried. Remember last year when Jeter dove onto the turf and laid there wracked in pain for a good 10 minutes like he needed his last rites? They may have wheeled out the stretcher... lord, they may have brought the whole ER down onto the field, I'm not too sure. But what did he end up with? A bruised thumb. Ohmigod!
When I heard that Chacin left the game last night with a crampy finger all I could do was roll my eyes. Dude, walk it off! Suck it up and play through the cramp. It'll eventually go away on its own. What the hell.
How do hockey players get their teeth knocked out and come back for their next shift? How do they break a leg but manage to hobble back to the bench so the next guy can jump on the ice? How can they stand in the hallway to get that gaping hole stitched up and return to the game? Inconceivable! (The Princess Bride was on a few days ago. Oh Westley....)
I don't know what breed of men they have in the MLB but seriously, let's tone that suck factor down a few notches. Nobody wants to hear about female cramps and pains but if a baseball player gets a cramp we want to send him get well cards and pretty balloons. This world makes so little sense that it's practically inconceivable.

Dude, you said (typed) inconceivable twice in that short post.
Baseball players still don't compare with soccer players though. "Ouch you kicked me in my shin pad".
I know... I can't even begin to count how many times Vizzini said it in the movie. I better go watch it again. Oh Westley....
I don't think the baseball vs. soccer player comparison is fair just coz we all know soccer players fake injuries on purpose. From what I know they tend to return to the field shortly afterwards. Baseball players, on the other hand actually make the D/L list for the smallest boo boos. And get listed as "day to day".
What, your finger might fall off tomorrow? You and the entire team medical staff don't know how long a bruise takes to heal? Inconceivable!
I totally agree!
Baseball players, in thier defence play nearly everday day during the summer. Hockey players play once every 3-4 days....they have lots of time to recover ;) Granted a 'cramped' finger is a little...well....gay.
Soccer players do suck! The drama that happens on the field is just tiring. I love the replays they show you and you can see that obvious pause before they realise they MIGHT be able to get away with it. And clutching the wrong leg is always a sure sign that they're lying! lol
