Re: Carlos Lee's Pinkie Update

According to the Houston Chronicle, X-rays taken Tuesday revealed that Carlos Lee's injured finger has finally healed.
It took about a month longer than initially expected, but Lee has been cleared to use his left hand normally and will be at full strength well in time for spring training.
Great news for the Astros. Now Ed Wade needs to worry about starting pitching and a catcher.

Pointless but fun fact - my friend 3 doors down the hall, her dad's the team doctor who did the surgery on Lee.

Anyway, it's amazing the Astros had that late surge without Lee, they could be very dangerous if they plug a healthy big bat into the middle of their lineup.

I would be trying to get some autographs or a date with this chick. A doctor's daughter who happens to be the team doctor is not a bad chick to date no matter what she looks like. She's rich and has ties to baseball.

Damnit you beat me to it. She lives in the room next to me. She's pretty cute. Unfortunately she has a boyfriend.

I met the doctor when he came to visit her. He's a real nice guy, he looked at my ankle when I fell down the stairs and busted it. It swelled up so much it looked like I had a tumor on my ankle. But that's a long story...

Sounds like a short story to me. You fell down the stairs and hurt your ankle. Am I missing anything?

Re: Carlos Lee's Pinkie Update

Well kind of. I didn't hurt my ankle falling down the stairs. I rolled it so bad the bone on the side went all the way to the side and touched the ground, thus causing my whole leg to give out. Then I proceeded to fall down the stairs. So it was the rolling that was the cause of the injury. The aftermath is a funny story.

I was outside one of the dorms where my girlfriend lives, so I called her because there was no way I could walk the rest of the way to my dorm. So she supported my weight up the hill to the dorm, and helped me into the elevator. Then the elevator opened on my floor and I collapsed onto the ground. Then I yelled down the hall for browntown and he helped me the rest of the way to my room. I couldn't walk for like 2 days.
