PrintThe Rockies just cannot catch a break lately, at least not the good kind.
Hours before opening a much needed homestand against the road-challenged Pittsburgh Pirates, the Rockies lost their closer for an unknown period of time, barely a month after he returned from the disabled list.
Huston Street was warming up in right field during batting practice when he was hit in the "pelvic area" by a line drive off the bat of Ian Stewart.
MLB.com's Thomas Harding was first to report the incident, and he has this insight:
Rox trainer Keith Dugger said Street was hit in the pelvic area. He fainted "2 or 3 times" from pain.
That does not bode well for the Rockies. Street was transported via stretcher to an ambulance, which has taken him to Rose Medical Center.
There is no word yet on the extent of Street's injuries, but we will update you as soon as we know anything.
UPDATE:Note that means he has already been released from the hospital.ckies say closer Huston Street has a right abdominal contusion, is "at home, resting comfortably," and his availability is day-to-day.

Sounds about right, the way this season is going lately.
Get well soon, (again) Huston!

Each symptom individually could be minor, but altogether it is worrisome.
But there’s still a possibility it’s not as bad as it sounds. Hoping and praying.
This is worrisome
"I think his body kind of went into shock," said Dugger. "The thing that was kind of alarming is he had ringing in his ears. Sometimes it’s just a sign of shock.

my thoughts are with Huston

Amazing.
Only Ian Stewart could blow the end of a game before it began…
Too soon?

Just a little gallows humor.

I'm thinking of one
involving Stewie getting the wrong dick. But it would be inappropriate….
Bazinga!

Somewhat funny. I approve
The best things in life are Tulo dingers, Ubaldo strikeouts, and uh, yeah.
Comedy is all ab-TIMING!
If you posted this after an update saying he was mostly okay but probably not going to play for a few days, it would have been funny.
Now while we don’t really know, not so funny.
For the record...
I wasn’t trying to offend or troll or anything. It was clearly meant to be more of a Stewie joke (and I like Ian Stewart for that matter) than a “good, the closer is hurt” comment.
Humor; that’s how I deal with bad news. And this is obviously bad (epically catastrophic) news.
On a personal note, more than the average bear, I have an intimate understanding of what Street’s going through right now, having suffered one of these during athletics in high school :
Clearly I offended. I apologize.

Or rather, cutting me open.
It sucked.

I think the men are with me
As we cross our legs, cringe, and suck in a deep breath.
And I know everyone is with me as I’m praying that he’s okay.
The women are with you too.
I’ve fallen on the crossbar of a bike when I tried to make a jump…
it was horrible….seriously..
we can’t feel that pain that you experience…but we are with you.

"The Rockies just cannot catch a break lately"
Is the understatement of the season. Wow. I am stunned beyond words.
We’re all praying for you, Huston, and wishing you only the best.
Unbelievable.
Get your purple on.
Apparently it's
just a right abdominal contusion and he is day-to-day. This is very good other than the fact that it is in the core of his body.

Quit looking at the hot girls in the right field bleachers
or where a cup; either way, he wore that frozen rope.
Suspend disbelief, open your eyes and see the world as new.
