Machado injury (Sprained Knee Ligament- 15 Day DL)

[bpilktree]

Reggie Wayne walked off the field last year after he tore his ACL. While Manny walking around can be a good sign, it might not mean much.

He did but then after they got xrays he was in crutches the rest of the way. I would think if they saw a ton of trouble they would want to have him keep weight off it and from swelling.

Yeah that means nothing. I skied down a hill after I tore mine. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't turn, but I wasn't screaming in pain either

Are we certain that a pop means anything? You've mentioned this several times already. Couldn't it be a quick dislocate/relocate? I'm not sure.

Yeah I was going to say the same thing...could have been his knee cap moving. I can move mine and I don't have any kind of injury.

I really doubt it. That is typically indicative of the stress of the joint finally giving in...

I hope I am wrong

[Flash- bd]

I only say that because they were already working on his gait, etc. Not trying to pile on him or anything, just thinking out loud.

Fair enough, I get defensive about our players sometimes! Still, don't think there's any need for fatalism until we have a definite prognosis and even if it were the worst Manny will still have a great career, IMO. But after those tweets I'm confident it's minor, I don't think Buck would make those comments if they weren't pretty sure it was nothing seriously...serious.

Actually most ACL tears are non-impact injures. A Valgus (inward bend and twist: knocked knee look) during a cut or landing tears an ACL. Women are more susceptible then men. Not saying Manny tore his ACL. MCL is most likely.

Right. I used the term impact to mean impact with the ground, as you described. Not contact. Neither happened to Manny. Fingers crossed:pray:

Still waiting on the MRI before I exhale

At the 1:24 mark I can see a pop on his pants

On a side note at the end of the video you can see Jeter ask if it is the same knee. Hate the Yankees but I do respect Jeter.

Manny interviewed on postgame show. Says the X-ray was clean. MRI will tell more tomorrow. He is walking but sounds like he should/will/might use crutches until he get a full diagnosis as a pre-caution. He was standing while talking to the press.

I like that he cared.

Absolutely. Guy is a pros pro.

[VeveJones007]

Yeah I'll wait for the MRI.

The deep breaths he was taking, man. Scary.

It was touching to see Buck grabbing him around the back of the neck and consoling him on the ground.

I'm a fan of the Orioles but I'm also a fan of the game. Jeter is a class act. You can't play for the Yanks and not be exposed if you weren't a class act.

[Palmoripken]

It is incredible how little drama there's been around him throughout his career.

There's never been a real reason for there to be too exempting the controversy of who should play SS him or A-Rod. Honestly, nothing against Jeter personally but I think the guy has had just about as much as a fairy tale career as you could ask for. His team has missed the playoffs twice in his career and their worst finish was third. There are other guys who never see the playoffs or the WS. Plus Derek's defensive inadequacies at a

key position have constantly been overlooked. I don't think he's a bad guy and have nothing against giving him a farewell gift but I think he's lived what my Dad calls a charmed life.

I still hate him (because he's a MFY), but that is cool.
