Furcal has another setback

| | Comments (3) |

He still feels good, but Dr. Watkins examined him over the weekend and determined that he won't be ready to play in actual games for at least another two weeks. After that, or whenever he IS ready, he would need a rehab of a week or so. That means best-case scenario is he is activated the week before the All-Star break -- and so far, there is nothing about this whole matter that would suggest the best-case scenario is the most likely one. ... Nomar Garciaparra, meanwhile, is expected to start a rehab assignment possibly by the end of this week, and he is expected to play exclusively SS on that assignment -- which means he'll probably be the Dodgers' everyday SS, the position where he became a star in the late 1990s, when he returns. Torre said Nomar won't need the full 20 days.

My reaction starts with F, and rhymes with Duck. This has been a viscous cycle of getting my hopes up for his return, only for it to be postponed. What a bummer.

You can't rehab Nomar for the full twenty days because he'll be injured again sooner than that.

Better Nomar than Berroa.

OK, be honest. How many of you were yelling at the tv/radio, begging Torre NOT to bring in Proctor??? I know I was. Times like these, I hate being right.
