After years of the Baseball 'World-Series' being nothing of the sort ...

Weirdly I watched this the other day whilst nursing a friend of mine who's just come out of hospital after having a knee op. He was drooling at the goyles whilst cursing them for being able to move. It was hilarious. But I guess you'd have had to have been there. :dabs:

Did you remember to set his TiVo.

Nope forgot. He's gonna kick my ass.

Strangely our mate had a knee-op this very week but didn't have to take 18 weeks off work. Also he was able to come out to the pub, go to the bar for us (I was comfortable so I wasn't going) and chase after some druggie up and down some stairs. I think, maybe, that Busyman has been having us on.

Yeh but he went private to have his op. And got my expert medical care afterwards.

Yeah with my first ACL tear in my right knee I didn't have surgery at all and went back to playing b-ball.

With ACL and medial meniscus tear on my left knee all they did was repair (cut off the scar tissue) on my medial meniscus. When they went in they noticed I didn't have an ACL there. My recovery was super quick.

I was then playing ball with no ACLs.

This surgery though required them using cadaver meat to make a new ACL. Longer recovery time. I could've had it years ago but I felt fine. I was told 6 months before I could play cutting sports (soccer, basketball, football, tennis).

I think I'm going to just lift heavy weights on my legs and go back to doing long distance running and play b-ball next year. I'm using my exercise bike now and have already dropped weight. The only thing left is to buff up somore.

One day I might get a new ACL on my right knee (preferably around strike time:shifty: )

Yeah I have Kaiser Permanente. I still can't believe I didn't have to pay for this...

I know folks like jump around when America does badly at something but jeez, America has lost in Olympic baseball a number of times. I think a coupla time they didn't even medal.

This is not something new.:ermm:

I'm tempted to move this thread to Sportsworld because it rather quickly became a serious debate.

As far as this mony>pride thing goes, I've got to agree it's bullshit.
Chest beating is part of American culture. Fact.


Oh, and thanks for the heads-up, JP :thumbsup:

Cadaver meat?
