Stephen Strasburg twisted his knee shagging fly balls yesterday. They say it wasn’t necessarily serious, but he “heard a ‘pop’ in his knee and crumpled to the ground” and is being sent to L.A. to be examined by an orthopedist. This is the best part:
Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo did not immediately return voice and text messages seeking additional information, and players and coaches in Arizona were instructed not to discuss the injury with the media.
Anyone else get an image of Rizzo crouched in the fetal position on the floor behind his desk, rocking back and forth and repeating “this is not happening . . . this is not happening . . .” as his cell phone rings constantly?
