Buster Posey’s Disgusting Ankle
Showtime’s new series “The Franchise: A Season With the San Francisco Giants” debuts tonight at 10 pm. It’s an eight-episode offering that I pray will follow Pat Burrell out on the town in at least one of the installments. SI’s Jimmy Traina took in a screening of the first episode and enjoyed it, noting the overall tone was more serious than that of HBO’s Hard Knocks, which was to be expected as Bruce Bochy is not exactly Rex Ryan. Tonight’s premiere will cover catcher Buster Posey’s injury rehab following surgery on torn ligaments in his ankle.
As you can plainly determine from the clip, his ankle is in nasty shape. Being sidelined for a significant amount of time has no doubt deflated the guy, but the accompanying music certainly assisted in driving that depressing point home to such a degree that a viewer with no knowledge of Posey’s mishap might mistakenly assume the injury ended his career. Cheer up, buddy.
For the sake of being inconsiderate, here are two closeup shots of Posey’s grotesque ankle:

I have ankles made out of newspaper. I was always fucking them up playing basketball growing up. My junior year we were playing Kinsley which has a rubber court (for wrestling) they played basketball games on. I always hated that court. I was the 7th guy, but a guy above me didn’t play and I was getting serious minutes and has a couple rebounds and six points in the 1st quarter. First time down the floor in the second quarter and I was out all by myself not even making a move and I ripped ligaments in my ankle. Fucking Pain! My ankle wasn’t as fat as Posey’s, but fuck. It throbbed fucking pain forever. Surgery, cast, season over. Fuck weak ankles.
July 13th, 2011 at 7:08 PM
That sounds terrible KC. Thankfully, I have yet to do anything worse than a sprained ankle in all my years of sports. Other parts of my body haven’t been as lucky, but my ankles have.
July 13th, 2011 at 7:18 PM
I’ll go all Glory Days on y’all. Sprained both my ankles and was relegated to 1st. Still went 4 for 5. I used to be real tough. Now I’m a bitch who complains about his knees and back.
July 13th, 2011 at 7:32 PM
Worst I ever did to myself was a hamstring pull while running a 200m, a couple of bad ankle sprains, and a lot of bad tendonitis in my knees. I feel like a puss compared to all of your injuries.
July 13th, 2011 at 7:32 PM
I had to live with an old lady (unrelated to me) due to a paid internship opportunity in an unknown and relatively small town for 4 months. Let me just say that after seeing her ankles/feet/legs and how swollen they became just from…well, being old and a slow healer, it made me very glad that my feet are still functional.

Now this is a way friend of a friend of a friend story, but here it goes. So this girl that is a friend of a friend went out on a date with Pat the Bat. Later that night when things moved back to whichever individuals apartment they started screwing. In the middle of it all, Pat stops, looks the girl dead in the eye, and says “do you know who you are fucking?” The girl nods, and he says, “Pat fucking Burrell” and then they continue to go on their way.
I find that story hilarious for some reason.

All in all… not too bad. I know some guys that are just fucking snakebit when it comes to injuries.

Doesn’t it seem like the probability of a fail increases exponentially when you’re trying to impress someone? I mean you could do a triple backflip off a roof into a glass of water 4 straight times, but then as soon as you ask someone over to see it you’re fucking it up that very next time.

If we’re counting non-sports stories, I broke my arm about 5 times (mostly dislocated shoulders) before I was like 5.

Anyone read the Nolan Ryan, Kornheiser piece on Grantland? … It’s funny to see how much his wins and losses is the focus of it … I realize it’s not much different today, but it makes me wonder if what people know now would change if they knew it in his prime.

Multiple concussions. 3rd degree separations to both shoulders. Innumerable stiches to face, including once where I caught a skate to the face and could put my tough through my cheek. Broken fingers, surgery to repair torn ligament in finger. MCL tear in knee. Broken ankle that I foolishly let them freeze so I could play, now it cracks and pops in the mornings.
July 13th, 2011 at 8:14 PM
I have torn my ACL in football in 10th grade, I tore my rotator cuff in college pitching and now have thinning lateral meniscus which will need surgery in 5-10 years depending on how much more stuff I do to it.

fractured tibia (jumping off a slide to impress my kid. Fail.)

Totally agree. The deal was I was down by the pond and we have the playground swing-set thing set up there. We’d been fishing and were kind of tired, but the boy wanted to go down the slide a few times. Sure, why not? Then I got bored and started running up the slide (~12 feet high) and jumping off into the loose gravel underneath. No problem. Then the boy is ready to head back up the house but wanted me to jump off one more time. Sure. One last big ass jump to make him laugh. Fucking fail. My femur slammed into the top of my tibia (tibia plateau iirc) and fucked my shit up. Not a whole lot of pain if I walked like a corn cob was up my ass. I was convinced at the time I had torn my ACL, MCL, meniscus, and cock. After the MRI the ortho just told me to wear a brace and not run or bike until spring (this occured in October last year.)

Many broken things, somehow never tore anything, but got a hairline fracture of a vertebrae in high school football. Thats some ridiculously constant pain with literally no treatment but time.
July 13th, 2011 at 8:22 PM
Geez, serious question, did you have it worse than your teammates or is your list of injuries just par for the course?
July 13th, 2011 at 8:22 PM
Wouldn’t classify myself as snakebit, those were accumulated over the course of about 15 years.
Only ones I regret are the concussions, never missed more than a game or two.

July 13th, 2011 at 8:26 PM
Thinking more about that Grantland passage – I wonder if the writer has been walking around confusing Cam’ron for Juelz? I can’t stand either of ‘em but people do love Juelz.
July 13th, 2011 at 8:27 PM
My list isn’t too bad. I’ve torn ligaments in my thumb playing bball, I broke and then severely sprained my ankle in the course of 9 months, I broke my nose, I broke a toe, and then another 10-13 or so ankle sprains that wound up being near, or were, crutch worthy. I can’t even watch a guy twist his ankle on tv, it makes me nauseous. Thankfully nothing that necessitated a hospital stay.
July 13th, 2011 at 8:28 PM
You should tell them about your fight with Mike Munro, Geez.
I’ve only got two fake teeth, never been concussed that I know of, but I’ve taken a puck to the face in practice and broke a nose. My nose has been broken on 4 separate occasions. Three of them are sports related, one is drinking and falling on a cobblestone street related. I have a partially torn ACL in my right knee that I let heal naturally. It’s actually healed up fine but when it gets real humid it out it swells. I can tell you it’s going to rain about 30 minutes before it happens.
Geez’s list is much more impressive than mine. I only played hockey for 3 years. Baseball for 11… only thing from baseball is breaking my fingers and a bad ankle contusion from a comebacker while pitching.
July 13th, 2011 at 8:29 PM
I’ve listened to Cam’s work. He is not very good as a lyricist, or really, as an emcee. Either this guy is trying to seem hip, or he’s just out of touch with what lyricism actually is. Cam doesn’t even come close to Juelz himself, let alone any members from the Wu.

You guys are some hardcore athletes. In years of soccer, basketball, and baseball the worst thing that I’ve ever done is partially break a toe. And I’ve taken a few bad hops and split a lip a few times. And I took a foul ball off my bare head once.

Funny story, I was playing indoor soccer once and while going for a header, I managed to split open the forehead of an old-timer who told me hadn’t had a soccer injury in his 20 years playing indoor soccer.
My noggin hit him bad enough to require stitches…somehow, nothing happened to me.
/ will probably twist ankle playing ball tommorow
/ just saying you can get injured anytime
July 13th, 2011 at 8:42 PM
It’s more bad luck than anything. The way I got the partial tear was ridiculous. Kid bunted, I was pitching. I fielded the bunt and my 1B was charging so no one was covering first. I ran to beat the guy to the back, was wearing metal spikes and they got caught in the rubber of the bag. They didn’t let go and my knee bent the way it’s not supposed to. I thought I merely tweaked it, it didn’t feel that bad and I didn’t hear a pop. Went back to the bump to throw another pitch… THAT’S when I knew something was wrong. Knee just buckled.

SC, the first time with Boogaard was in Kelowna, we were losing badly so I jumped him off a faceoff. Bad idea, I didn’t think he was all that coordinated, a number of bombs to the face settled that, I lost badly.
The second one was in Prince George, again losing badly. We squared off at center and threw haymakers for quite a long while. I probably got the worst of it, but got my pound of flesh too.

The first chapter is all about how it was formed, the bigwigs behind the scenes with the money (i.e. Getty Oil), and how they got people like Ebersol, Chet Simmons, and others to join the fledgling company. The good thing about the book is that it is very conversational. Miller recorded what the interviewees said and prints it word for word in the book. You’ll get a blurb from one guy, then another couple people, the first guy again, and so on. The first chapter was tough to get through so I hope the rest is better.

If I was an athlete, I would feel ashamed to attend the ESPYs. I understand most of these guys attend for all the after-parties and hold competition as to who can bang the most skanks in one night. But isn’t it awkward when they ask you “what does it feel like to win an ESPY?” If you won the super bowl, NBA title, World Series etc, how can you answer that question with a straight face?
July 13th, 2011 at 9:04 PM

Just adding my two cents. I’ve had a fractured skull, at least 3 concussions, numerous stitches in the face, broken wrist, broke the same finger twice and had the tendon sliced, broken kneecap and split patellar tendon, and broke my right ankle twice so badly that my ankle gives out sometimes.
I never fought Derek Boogaard or his sister.

Ahh, young Jason. Four months old and the momma still has post-baby body. Wait until their kids are in pre-school and the stay at home moms have nothing to do but go to the gym all day and get liposuction. It gets better. Hang in there.

July 13th, 2011 at 11:05 PM
Loved FF7, but the only things I remember about the game are the character names, Sephiroth being a badass, the awesome music, and the fun mini characters (like that Don Corneo guy who tries to have sex with Cloud dressed up as a girl).

@Ballz – Favourite track?
Mine would be Jenova.
July 13th, 2011 at 11:16 PM
Cosmo Canyon and the world map music. Before and after Meteor is summoned. I have a lot. The song at the very start of the game, ‘The Raid on the Sector 5 Reactor’, might actually be my favorite, come to think of it.
July 13th, 2011 at 11:19 PM
Reactor Raid and Cosmo Canyon.
July 13th, 2011 at 11:21 PM
Nice. I was actually 2 seconds away from putting Cosmo on here, but then I saw the Jenova link and clicked on it instead.
My top ones would be Jenova, Mako reactor (right after the raid – slower song), and Cosmo.
The Shinra corporation theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXM5lzeeWz8&feature=related) is badass as well.
July 13th, 2011 at 11:23 PM
Surprised you didn’t put up One Winged Angel…that’s usually on the top of people’s lists.
July 13th, 2011 at 11:23 PM
Shit. I totally forgot about the Shinra theme. Good call. I also really like the sad, depressing music they use in the slums. Like when your in the Train Graveyard. It sticks in my head because I spend a lot of time grinding in there. Lotsa ether’s to steal. Plus, and a awesome weapon for Aeris that’s a real bitch to steal from that rare, chariot enemy.
July 13th, 2011 at 11:24 PM
I can’t name every song! I have a live version of that song with full orchestra that’s badass. In fact, I think I’ll listen to that now…
