So much for the Chris Sale come back. Ouch!

[Deja Doh]

That pinky looks mangled.

 

That will take another couple of months to heal.

[Bellhorn04]

Just a terrible break for him and us.

[moonslav59]

Horrible. Just horrible.

[Kimmi]

I feel terrible for the team, but I feel even worse for him personally. He worked so hard to get back and he was looking pretty good. You know this is killing him.

 

I liked how he kept it in perspective, though, and said that someone was having a worse day than he was.

He seems like he has a firm grip on what's important in life.

 

I wish him the best.

Frankly sale has been a nightmare. The guy can’t stay on the field and he sucks whe he pitches.

Half right.

[Bellhorn04]

Half right.

 

Exactly.

[d-money]

Half right.

 

Which part? I am guessing the second part.

Someone? How about most of the country?

What a vacuous thing to say by someone who is making hundreds of millions of dollars. I substituted 'making' for 'earning.'

I know his injuries aren't his fault, but the fact remains he's still receiving his full salary and not Workers' Comp.

Sale doesn't suck when he's able to pitch; just accept that Sale will not be the ACE he once was. Edited July 19, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[jacksonianmarch]

He had surgery yesterday. Won’t be able to pick up a ball for 6 weeks. Could return in September as a pen option

I get that. He's still making millions regardless. I didn't take the statement as being vacuous. I think he understands that as bad as his luck has been, he doesn't really have reason to complain compared to what others are going through.

Exactly. It is possible some rich people have empathy for others.

Apparently Sale broke his wrist in a biking accident and is officially done for the season.

I would say unbelievable, but anything is possible when it comes to Chris FRAIL.

[Hugh2]

Well, I suppose it's a good thing we didn't empty the farm to compete for a 2nd wildcard spot this year.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I heard from someone who wasn't there because he doesn't exist that Sale wiped out when a big screen TV suddenly ran across his bike path.

[Old Red]

Over exaggerated 101. Who said anything about emptying out the farm?

[Bellhorn04]

It was his right wrist - thankfully, said the eternal optimist.

[redsoxrules]

48 innings pitched in 3 years on that new contract. Talk about good value.

 

That was probably DD worst signing. Even worse than Price. He signed him that extension knowing of his arm problems.

[a700hitter]

You can’t make it up.

DD deserves all the bashing in the world, and then some for the Sale ext. Enough said.

[a700hitter]

I heard that someone tweeted, “Sale made a deal with the Devil for the WS title and then his bones turned into pretzels.” LOL!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I googled the odds of snakebite. This was the first hit: "Even using the highest estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of 8,000 annual snakebites per year, the odds of you being bitten are 40,965 to one."

 

Rounded off, that's 41 thousand to one... #41 -- Chris Sale's number.

[a700hitter]

He needs to be stored in bubble wrap until Spring Training.

[vegasbob]

maybe he needs a bone density scan to evaluate just how prone Sale will be to ongoing bone breaks. Even when the 78 year old President fell off his bicycle, he didn't break anything.

 

Sale now becomes the most likely dead money contract over the next 2 years to clog up the spending budget.. What a loser !

[Elktonnick]

This guy is likely to break something every time he sneezes

And yet I can almost see the story from next February now:

 

"Sale says he's 100% healthy and ready to put injury bad luck behind him, excited for 2023 season".
