    Forgot today was a 6 o'clock start and just flipped to the game.   http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/353/279/e31.jpg

  • Mauer now at .300 even.

  • My vantage for tonight's game!   Yep, not the Twins but the Miracle!  

 

Could be, but I don't think there's much rhyme or reason to concussions. Some guys get 1 and are done. Some get 50 and somehow continue to function in the short-term (Jordan Leopold).

I can't imagine a QB of Mauer's size and ability in MN high school football in 2001 took a lot of devastating head blows. One year we had an offensive guard, and basically 9/11ths of our defense that was smaller than Mauer.

 

I am guessing Mauer probably had a few undiagnosed concussions as a catcher, but I agree they are unpredictable, and one can do it.

I did a visible double-take when I looked at the score. I gave my harness bells a shake, to see if there was some mistake. Nope, that's just baseball.

 

This thread is lovely, dark, and deep.

 

I played 10 years of football as a 150 pound weakling QB and never got a single concussion

I got knocked out in gymnastics, wrestling, baseball, football (4 times),but I don't remember long-term symptoms before getting knocked off my bicycle by a car in my early 50's, and that time I never lost consciousness. What if I never had those concussions? No idea, but I might have played a little more football, which is fun aside from all the injuries. 

What it the world has gotten into Gibson? Inconceivable!

and miles to go before you sleep?

 

(looked it up. I'm a bit miffed as I should have recognized Frost.)

Run differential -2 now.

Eduardo! Me gustas

Run Differential: normalizing.

Whew! 13-0 seemed just too unlucky!

Escobaaaaar!

I played 6 years, with the last two of that as a 275-pound lineman and I had 5. It doesn't take much to get one and once you do, it's much easier to get another.

 

A couple of years ago I caught myself in the temple with a door and gave myself #6. Once the door opens, it can be quite the party.

Son of Sal sighting.

I don't remember this reference.

 

Y'know why the Romans never did algebra?

 

X always equalled 10.

 Well if anyone would know this ....

 

I don't remember this reference.

 

The last name Butera.

Koskie and Morneau both played hockey in their younger years. Mauer played football through high school. I wonder if their concussion issues are rooted in those sports. Everything suggests the damage is cumulative. That is, each one - no matter the severity - makes the symptoms worse.

Absolutely with Morneau. It's something that was talked about and acknowledged during his recoveries.

I don't remember this reference.

Careful, that could generate a null pointer exception.

What's your explanation since then? 

 

(if you're gonna tee it up like that, someone's going to take a hack at it...)

Booze

The last name Butera.

I drew the same conclusion.

Vargas for Mauer, Granite or Kepler for Buxton, Goodrum for Dozier.

Why? Trying to give the Royals a fighting chance this game?

"played", in parenthesis?

Hmmm ... are you sure? I mean ... oh never mind ... some things you just need to realize for yourself.

I speculate it is a post from the southern hemisphere, where spring is coming soon.
