Nomar update
The results of the knee exam are in and they sound... iffy. Garciaparra was diagnosed with a Grade-1 (the least severe, for those like me who confuse this medical jargon with Defcon One) sprain of left MCL ligament. He'll take part in very little activity over the next few days, then will "progress to baseball activities as tolerated." How long said progress will take remains to be seen. On one hand, the sprain results came out favorably, as far as sprains go. But given Nomar's injury history that doesn't include the fastest of healing times, optimism isn't the first mood that hit me.
More info as it's presented.

Ned--
For the love of all things good and merciful, DO NOT MAKE A PANIC TRADE. You are already disadvantaged at the table, so let's avoid exacerbating the disparity.
Thank

Can we read anything into the fact that LaRoche didn't play tonight in an extra inning game, 21 people did. Given Nomar's history doesn't it make sense to DL him now and bring up either LaRoche or Dewitt
