FIGHTING THE INJURY BUG

First, Carlos Delgado goes back to New York for an MRI on his hip.

Then Ryan Church and Marlon Anderson collide in the field and both need to be helped off.

Looks like Church has a concussion and will be out about two weeks.

That's just... great. Four games into the preseason and the walking wounded are already piling up.

I hope everyone is ok. We cannot afford long term injuries here.

I wonder if the Nationals would consider trading (oft-injured) Nick Johnson since Dimetri Young was given a multi-year contract to play first base last year? How about Nomar from the Dodgers, seeing that he's not assured a starting job at all? We could use some serious help here if Delgado is on the shelf for more than like a week or two.

It's going to be OK, Rock. Take a deep breath. All will be alright. :)

Thanks for the defense on the blog, but the fools need something to do with their time. :)

As do we all.

Yeah I'm not particuarly worried... but with Betran and Castillo still hurting too from offseason surguries it is a place of some mild concern.
