Pence Injured By Glass Door

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bb/5551817.html

He spent the night in the emergency room. This is early information, so we don't know the full seriousness yet.  McLane says that it could have been worse and he thinks Pence may be able to return to the field in a week or so.  However, we probably need to wait for the team doctor's assessment. Update: Pence says he was going back and forth between the hot tub and his apartment's sliding glass door. He didn't know his friend had closed the door. Pence said he hopped off a ledge to enter his apartment and broke the glass. He has numerous lacerations. This part of his injury doesn't sound good: "Pence arrived early to camp and began working out on Sunday, but now he must wait at least a week before returning to most baseball activities. Moreover, he is walking with a brace on his left knee to keep it stabilized. 'I got small cuts everywhere, but just mainly my knee had stitches last night,' he said. 'It’s really not that bad. It’s just the fact I can’t bend it. They need it to heal together. That’s the whole reason I have this huge brace so I don’t bend it.'" Hopefully there is no lingering effect on his knee after the lacerations heal.

My thoughts as well...
although, if he would have been drunk, I think it may have been on the report.  

From what I've read, his friend was a girl.  So I'm assuming Pence at least has a girl friend(sorry ladies).  

Regardless, even if he was drinking... at least he wasn't driving this time...

Go 'Stros!

I dunno...
if you were drunk and just jumped through a glass door, would you call your parents first?

The whole thing just seems so weird.

Some humor in the situation...
I saw this blog linked in a comment at BBTF, and it made me laugh so much that I had to share it.

Apparently a fictional (and somewhat challenged) White Sox pitcher blogs about spring training, and Hunter's injury is his subject today:

"Well Al I guess you have heard the big news of the week in Spring Traneing which happened over in Fla. Hunter Pez of the Houston club got hurt did I put that HDML in rite Al. Pez says silly him in the middle of the nite he and a pal got up to take a Ja Cousy and his buddy left a door of invisible Glass shut and Pez was so X cited about his bath he went running full Tilt into the door and suffert Full Frontal Pain in the Glass. Al now you may say Pez was half seas over but I have knowed him since he was a track star at the University of Texas at Anywhere and the lad takes nothing but a nitely Root Beer. People will scoof Al but Ball Players do things strenuously and are at Risk just this week here in Twos On Bobby Jinks put too much Wasabby on his Arizona Roll and burnt his Soft Palette whilst German Die tried to lift up the back end of the team Bus and hurniated a Disk and A.J. Pierogi drank sixteen dry Manhattans and bonked his head on a Urinal at Slippery Sams Saloon though I guess you could say the latter was AJ's own Fault."

And while I'm at it, here is a previous day's blog about Clemens and Andy "Petty."  This is funny:

"Now they are all up set because Roger Clemens says that Andy Petty is a misrememberer or in plane English a lying sack of Doo. But there is a Congersman who says that Andy Petty is a hero and people do not know which weigh is up. Petty says that McAfee has injested him with Stereos and Human Girth Whoremoan and injested Roger Clemens while he was at it and McAfee says likewise he's sure and Roger Clemens says that they couldn't spit out the truth if it was a wad of Juicy Fruit now all I can say is I half never seen Stereos in the club house and Ozzie Guillen would not allough it and some say our 1B Jim Tumi has stuck stereos in his Keister but if you knew Tumi you know that even when he eats a Salad he washes every leaf three times in Dassanny water he will not take in a im pure thing Al."

I had an idea. . . .
Pence is apparently getting his own bobblehead this year.  I wonder if they could make it so it has, like, bandaids. . . an arm sling. . . maybe crutches. . . .

hehe..
I doubt they would do that... but it would be pretty funny... for some of us.

Bumper sticker.
