PrintInside the Colorado Rockies " Reynolds Undergoes Surgery
Greg Reynolds, who didn’t pitch in 2009 following one April appearance for Triple-A Colorado Springs, underwent exploratory arthroscopic surgery Wednesday Oct. 28 on his ailing right scapula.
At least he isn't Matt Bush?

He was so nice when I talked to him at the Sky Sox game
that it changed my mind on him. I wasn’t a big fan of his before then, but now I am rooting for him. He thought he would be ready for ST, but it just seems to get worse for him. I’m hoping he gets healthy real soon.
Rox, please start playing with heart! Let's finish this thing off!
I think most of us are rooting for him
but kind of being pragmatic/realists which in this case appears pessimistic.
man, he was just straight up solid in AAA.

A healthy Greg Reynolds in 2011 and 2012
Might be like getting a bonus 1st round pick. The guy DOES have potential and, luckily, there is time to realise it.
1st round might be stretching it
and it’s not as if he hasn’t used any option years or anything.
I don’t think his potential is anywhere near where it was.

Everything about Greg Reynolds confuses me
Are his struggles due entirly to shoulder problems and if so what is going on? Is this the same scapula thing over and over or is it a bunch of littel things that led to his demise? How many surgeries has he had? And my biggest question of all; if he has been sidelined since April 9th with shoulder discomfort why the hell did the Rockies wait until now for him to have surgery? Were they looking into to this in say April, May, June, July, August or September?
Sorry if any of these questions are ignorant but the whole situation confuses me.
I'm still hoping to wake up from that nightmare I had about the 9th inning of Game 4.

This is just arthoscopic surgery to clear up some scar tissue that has grown
not what you would call a major surgery, or even anything that would really set him back.
they're going to discover a shoulder tear or something while removing elbow scar tissue
and a broken toe

Day 782
Silverblood and RG fight epic battle to the death, refereed by Clint Hurdle and the Gorn from Star Trek.
I inserted solely in the interest of having a chronologically accurate timeline, no more
Plus, I got to reference the Gorn.
I was also about to make a Bladerunner reference
but decided against it. Russ is the resident sci-fi nerd, I don’t want to infringe on his territory.

Not in this arena.
Only someone that has withstood a homemade Captain Kirk diamond-cannon to the chest is capable of refereeing such an epic struggle.
gorn is friggin dead
we can only assume that Tosk is still alive within the rules of the game
see, rules. Tosk knows rules and obeys them

The Gorn isn't dead!
Shatner spared him, thus allowing the Metron to conclude that since humanity can show mercy, it’s future is brighter and more civil than they could have predicted!
…See what you made me do!

that's right
I haven’t seen that episode in so long, I forgot the diamond cannon with yellow stuff didn’t kill the Gorn, just critically impaired him

It's not jut the Dominion War, tho
In my opinion, DS9 has some of the best character development and most of it happens after season 3. It’s definitely not “traditional” Star Trek, no, but because of the fantastic characters I still count it :)
The only negative about after season 3 is that the religion thing does get a little hokey, but Dukat is one of the most awesomest villains the show’s ever had.

Like I said, I love the concept
But the acting, characters, writing were all pretty bad. Who is really likable on the crew? There isn’t anyone who you are drawn to like a Spock, McCoy, Odo, Data, Picard. Not a one.

holodeck adventures, such and such. The Doctor was likable, at least IMO, and Tuvok was at least somewhat entertaining. Well as far as Vulcans go.

New Stargate series
Just came on. If you hurry you can catch all of the first 5 episodes on Hulu.
It seems darker and more character based than, say, SG1, but so far it’s just been people trying to survive on a spaceship in another galaxy.

do I need to have seen SG1 or Atlantis to be able to follow?

by Andrew Martin on Oct 30, 2009 3:23 PM MDT up reply actions
Nope
That was sort of the point going in. If you know the basic premise of the Stargate, you can hop right in.
Having said that, the first 8 seasons of SG-1 are on Hulu. I’ve totally been watching them as they come up.

I guess the issue is that the Fox does like Action Show! and American Idol
they just don’t seem to be a successful sitcom network. It’s all about the DVDs, but there’s no accountability (or real guarantee of any sort of profit) in a Straight-to-DVD tv show

Hey what do you guys think about Melvin Mora?
Definitely a declining bat, but if there isn’t a starting job for him, he’s a RH bench bat who can play the corners and might find some dying pop to his bat here in Colorado.
Hope got in my eyes
Bad idea, imho
He’s carrying a major chip on his shoulder about the O’s deciding months ago to not pick up the option. And his numbers just sorta reek of possible “early ought’s” PED use. Which isn’t to say we shouldn’t sign a former user on moral grounds…just that, with him in his decline phase, and his decline from a possible unnatural high point, the decline could actually be faster and deeper than thought.
Kinda like the last year or so of Sammy Sosa before he took those two years off.
I guess I can be convinced otherwise, but I don’t think he’s the guy.

How are they quantifing, "clutch"?
Cause if you can’t count it, it doesn’t have any predictive power.

Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
