On Sunday, Cardinals shortstop Rafael Furcal tripped over a rope and sprained his thumb, causing him to miss some playing time. I have several things to say about this development -- precisely 18, in fact -- and I invite you to take a look at my hard-hitting analysis after the jump.
18 Observations About Rafael Furcal Tripping On A Rope
- Sounds like Furcal might be taking a trip to the disabled list.
- If things like this keep happening, the Cardinals have no chance of playing this fall.
- This is bad news. The Cardinals are hanging on by a thread as it is.
- Whoever left it lying there for someone to trip on should be strung up.
- Looks like the Brewers have the division all knotted up.
- The Cardinals are sinking fast. Someone throw these guys a line.
- Well, Furcal is known for being kind of a klutz. He’s all thumbs.
- I think this incident taut him a valuable lesson.
- At least he wasn’t on cable when this happened.
- Hard to blame him. By the end of a road trip, you’d be pretty frayed too.
- It’s a shame he didn’t have a chance to get to the batting cage and lace some line drives.
- With few options at short, the Cardinals are really walking a thin line.
- Who says baseball isn’t rigged?
- I think we should cut him some slack.
- At least Descalso will get some playing time. Every cloud has a silver lining.
- With Furcal out, the Cardinals’ plans have hit a bit of a hitch.
- Another injury? It’s like the Cardinals’ season is playing on loop.
He’s lucky he didn’t pull something.
