Professional sports injuries are never fun unless they involve Joe Theismann, and that’s why it was painful to watch the replay of Cleveland Indians top catching prospect Carlos Santana have his leg smashed to smithereens in a home plate collision last night against the Boston Red Sox. This marks the worst thing to happen to someone named Carlos Santana since Chad Kroeger.
Santana was carted off the field after his collision with Red Sox outfielder Ryan Kalish, but in case you’re wondering about his fantasy baseball value, don’t worry. USA Today’s Steve Gardner says that you should just walk it off, p*ssy.
Take it away, Captain Sensitive:
Although the injury looked disastrous when it happened — and I admit, I was close to making a move in my daily league right after I saw the video — don’t drop Santana until the test results are known.
In fairness to Kavish, Santana left his leg hanging out there, blocking the plate. Technically, that’s not allowed, if you’re one of these d*cks who’s all into rules and whatnot. And wait for about the :51 second mark. Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s his whole foot there.
I guess the lesson here is that you should never record a song with Rob Thomas. Meanwhile, whatever happened to Michelle Branch? She was kinda hot until that senior citizen knocked her up. Wait, were we talking about sports?

No “ouch my leg” tag?
I’ve always subscribed to “rub some dirt on it” mentality. It’s always fixed what was ailing me. Well, not the VD. Ok, almost always.
was this video shot in 1995?
Tape an aspirin on it, you pussy. You’re fine.
“Oye como va?”
“No bueno.”
That’s why I always bring my glove to the game, in case some player’s leg comes flying into the stands
“In fairness to Kavish, Santana left his leg hanging out there, blocking the plate. Technically, that’s not allowed…”
um, in what world? you can absolutely block the plate as long as you have the ball (which Santana did.) You can’t block the plate, if you don’t have the ball, but is rarely/never called in bang-bang plays.
Tough luck for Santana…Kavish should have gone wide instead of trying to go through Santana when the plate was clearly blocked.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Technically, Burnsy doesn’t know the rules.
And that was freaking nasty. I blame Fenway Park and the Red Sox fans who don’t stand and cheer anymore!
OAWHH INJAHHIESS AHH BETTAH THAN YOUAH INJAHHIES
Lo siento, Carlos, y no quiero ser este hombre pero, yo necesito a ver su tarjeta verda.
Stop being a pussy steve. He tried to run through the guy. Thats what you do. Next time maybe he won’t block the plate. Thats intimidation, holmes. Oh, and its Ryan Kalish, not Kavish. And yesterday was his 3rd game ever in the bigs. Gotta love that spunk from the youngins.
You don’t go wide and slide around the catcher, you run his ass over. Every catcher in the league blocks the plate and pays no consequence for it. This kid fixed one of the game’s biggest problems in his first week in the bigs.
I guess Santana missed the Ray Fosse/Pete Rose seminar down in Single A.
I’d like to see half of the pussies that left a message above take a hit like Carlos Santana did…you’ld be in a body cast you queer balls. I won’t see your response to this because I have a life and don’t sit and leave dumbass comments. Now all you tough guys can leave me a message that I will not read. If you were in front of me you wouldn’t say a word. BUT, you are all tough while behind your lil’ keyboards. Carlos will surpass Manny Ramirez someday in stats and already passed him up in CLASS…which none of you know what the hell that is. See ya losers.
