Posted June 10, 200519 yr Barmes now says he was carrying deer meat Story Tools: Print Email Associated Press Posted: 2 hours ago DENVER (AP) - Colorado Rockies rookie shortstop Clint Barmes now says he was lugging a package of deer meat he got from teammate Todd Helton, not a bag of groceries, when he fell and broke his collarbone. "I just didn't think it was right to bring Todd Helton into something like this," Barmes was quoted as saying in The Denver Post on Thursday, explaining why he gave a different version of the story when he first recounted the strange fall that will sideline him for at least three months. Barmes, who leads NL rookies in most offensive categories, underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair the break in his left collarbone. Team doctors inserted a titanium plate and nine screws to help the bone heal. Helton said he and Barmes rode four-wheel, all-terrain vehicles at Helton's ranch near Greeley on Sunday after the Rockies beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-6. Helton said the ATV ride had nothing to do with the injury. Clint Barmes will be out at least three months after falling while carrying deer meat. (Ed Andrieski / Associated Press) "I cannot say it strongly enough - he did not get hurt riding an ATV," Helton told the newspaper. "I was there. He never left my eyesight the entire time." Helton said he, Barmes and rookie teammate Brad Hawpe were riding about 5 mph. Afterward, he treated them to a dinner that included deer meat, and Barmes liked it so much that Helton gave him a package. Nothing in Barmes' contract, which is only $1,000 above the major league minimum, specifically prohibits him from riding an ATV. Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said he doesn't doubt Barmes' explanation that it was a fall, and not the ATV ride, that caused the injury. "This is one of the greatest-character kids we've ever had come through this organization," O'Dowd said. "I have no reason to doubt him. It's an unfortunate injury for both him and for us, but he'll get through this." http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3678588

It's an unfortunate injury for both him and for us, but he'll get through this." O'Dowd has also called him "the man you'd want your daughter to marry". He is far from an asshat.
June 10, 200519 yr Why not tell the truth from the get-go? *Still skeptical that this is the "true" story*
June 10, 200519 yr Author If you make up a story and lie to the media and public over something stupid like this you are an idiot simple as that. And what do you want O'Dowd to say? Bad mouth who is going to be the face of his organization for years to come?

Bad mouth who is going to be the face of his organization for years to come? 803409[/snapback] Yeah he was stupid, but does that mean he is an asshat? He didnt hurt anyone...he still is suffering the same injury and hasnt hurt anyone in this besides himself. Plus even if he did hurt himself on the ATV, the Rockies wouldnt nulify his ridiculously low contract. If they did, he could easily make 3 times that with another squad.... Yawn.
June 10, 200519 yr Whats the point of stating that the guys an idiot? No one cares? When tens of thousands of your dollors are at stake if you don't make a simple lie would you do it? No you'd be mister pefect and tell the truth just to be a nice guy. You dont know the position he was in unless you were in it as well. Ah fuK it im done venting
June 10, 200519 yr Helton thought Barmes was going to take over his spot as the marquee player and set him up. It was clearly planned.
June 10, 200519 yr Anyone else think it's funny Passion changed his name to that piece of skin between your nuts (or vagina if you're a woman) and a**hole? All I know is I giggle everytime I see the name Gooch in a post.

June 10, 200519 yr Calm down there champ, just playing around with ya. Just a little observation. Grundle is a much better name if you ask me though. Much more manly.
June 10, 200519 yr You think I didnt know that? And what is the point of this post...in this thread? Sorry, Passion is on the rag right now. Tell him the same thing in a few days and he'd laugh. Extra padding this day, hmm?

He never left my eyesight the entire time." 100 percent bull s**t, he got hurt on the ATV, that is too much of a coincidence. If Barmes got hurt carrying the dear meat, then Jeff Kent really did hurt himself washing his truck or w/e that crap excuse was...
