nope..

He limped off awfully slowly. I hope everything is alright.

[YankeeStripes]

looks to me like he hit his head. i'll be happy if it is just a concussion. We dont need to lose him for a long time.

Looked like he landed on his shoulder but he immediately grabbed his temple.

Yeah...I was worried about the shoulder initially - seemed like the right one took the brunt of it. But... if you noticed, Torre and Donahue (or Monahan) helped him off the field, with his arms over them. So...I'm assuming his shoulder's ok.

[Bozidar]

i think that when he hit Hilly he spun a little, knocking his helmet out of place, and when he hit the ground it nailed him at a bad angle..

I understand that first basemen have to make up for some awkward throws and at times are put in awkward spots, but what Hillenbrand did was incredibly stupid and dangerous as hell. What in the hell he was doing throwing himself into the first base line like that knowing a player is coming full speed to the bag is beyond me.

I doubt he was thinking because it happened so fast.

[yanksrule69]

Left wrist and right knee bruises.

Nothing said about his shoulder or head.

[ryanm1058123]

Contusions on left wrist; right knee; day to day..

good news

[jbauer2485]

That's good, what happened to Hillenbrand, did he break his wrist?

I haven't heard an update on the TV broadcast but I just talked to someone who said they reported on the radio broadcast that he broke his arm.

SHEA HILLENBRAND HAS CRASHED INTO THE WORLD TR


DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN

[jbauer2485]

Hillenbrand didn't break anything, he has a CT scan for his head.

[Iknowcool]

Sheff might get a few days at DH, so this probably means starts for Bernie(hope not) or Crosby (better option) at RF. Or better yet, a call-up for Kevin Thompson or Melky Cabrera....

He had both his arms draped over the guys who were helping him off so it didn't appear that either the arms or shoulders were injured.

wishful thinking

[Donnybaseball72]

We don't have any hitters with options.

Not to discredit Sheff. I am a big fan of his, but right now it might be good to get Crosby into the game for a week or so because he does the small things along with Miguel Cairo. They are both exceptionally fast, and can easily advance runners, while with Sheff hitting the ball its either all or none. Once again, I am a big Gary Sheffield fan, so dont get me wrong, but we can use crosby in the lineup right now.

The way ARod is hitting I'd hate to see Shef's bat out of the lineup.

[Jerkface]

We can NEVER "use crosby in the lineup". He is looking pretty worthless.

Does the "small things" mean posting a sub .300 OBP and a sub .500 OPS?
