It’s Funny, and Sad, Because It’s True

Despite what happened to Rany after this, Jerry should stick to his guns here:

Manuel poked fun at the team’s beleaguered medical staff when asked about Gary Sheffield‘s status after Sheffield left the game in the fifth inning with a cramp in his right hamstring.

“They’re calling it cramps . . . surgery on Thursday,” Manuel said before erupting in laughter.

I dunno, between Reyes’s “day-to-day” injury that has caused him to miss more than half the season with no particular timetable to return, Church being flown across the country immediately after a second concussion, an obviously hurt Putz appearing in game after game…there’s something wrong here, whether it’s the medical staff or the upper management.
