soapbox

It’s kinda hard for me to believe that Larry Jones (more commonly known as “Chipper”) has been playing pro ball for about a decade now. That means that I’m old, in case my most recent birthday didn’t hammer that home.

This season he started off red-hot, and there was all sorts of foolish “can he hit .400″ talk a couple months into the season. The problem is that Jones isn’t the most injury-free player around, and recently his hamstrings have been acting up to go along with past knee, quad, shoulder, and other injuries.

Which leads us to the entire point of this post – Chipper’s quote regarding his hammy:

“It’s sore right now,” he said. “I don’t know what the timetable’s going to be. Hamstrings are a little more delicate than quads or groins.”

Let the debate on the relative delicacy of hamstrings, groins, and quads begin.
