June 29, 200620 yr Matt Wise was unavailable Tuesday due to a cut on the middle finger of his right hand sustained Sunday. That explains why Dan Kolb was in during the eighth. Wise said he was hurt when he reached into a salad bowl Sunday and caught his finger on salad tongs. (c/o Rotoworld) Guess that's why mom always said not to eat with your hands.
June 30, 200620 yr another freak accident ...reminds me of clint barmes slipping on his apartment steps while holding deermeat
June 30, 200620 yr how are these for some weird baseball injuries John Smoltz burned his chest while ironing a shirt that he was wearing. Wade Boggs hurt his back when he lost his balance while trying to put on cowboy boots. Odiebe McDowell cut his finger buttering a roll at the Texas Ranger's welcome home luncheon. Ricky Bones hurt his lower back getting out of a chair while watching TV in the clubhouse. Kevin Mitchell strained a muscle while vomiting. George Brett hit his foot on a chair and broke his toe while running from the kitchen to the TV to see Bill Buckner hit. Rick Honeycutt injured his wrist while flicking sunflower seeds in the dugout. Chris Brown injured his eye by sleeping on his eye wrong. Phil Niekro injured his hand shaking hands too hard. Nolan Ryan was bitten by a coyote. and former marlin bret barberie... Bret Barberie had difficulty landing a steady starting gig in the major leagues during the 1990s. But the utility infielder was forever enshrined in baseball's Injury Hall of Fame with one wipe of the eyes. The former Montreal Expos draft pick once missed a game while a member of the Florida Marlins after inadvertently rubbing chili juice in his eyes. Unfortunately for Barberie, the former husband of Canadian-born TV personality Jillian Barberie, the gaffe represented one of his hottest streaks of the season.
July 1, 200620 yr Wow. I met Wise last season when the Marlins played the Brewers. I sat right above the visitor's dugout. He threw me a bullpen ball and later, among others (such as Dan Kolb), autographed it. He's a cool guy but this is probably a moment of his career he'd like to forget. Come on. A buffet server? :lol
July 1, 200620 yr How else would you get the salad tongs out? The way I read it initially I was thinking the guy put his hands in the actual salad.
