status quo

Nomar is back to the Dodgers after 62 games on the DL.
Before you get out the party hats though... (I have no idea who I am saying that to, maybe my cat?)

"Garciaparra was a little more lukewarm about the condition of his calf muscle. His body produces too much scar tissue and he said there is only so much that can be done to prevent a recurrence.

"There's nothing they can do or tell me," said Garciaparra, who played two Minor League games at shortstop without getting a ground ball to field." (St. MLB)

Nomar is probably the original reason I became a Red Sox fan, so I of course follow his doings as needed, which usually isn't needed since he lives in the Disabled List of Doom. I think he is in the ever painful category of players who rrrrrrreeeeaaaally should go to the Hall of Fame, but due to injuries never satisfied their enormous talent. (also in this category would be Ken Griffy Jr., sorry Jane!)

EDIT:

Come to think of it, the Red Sox major in players who should be awesome but suffer horrible injuries, dooming the fans to lifelong heartburn medication. So Nomar is really just following in that grand tradition of, I-hope-you-have-a-really-good-hobby-because-you-will-live-on-the-DL- till-donuts-are-square.
