Marcus Giles will be out six-to-eight weeks after breaking his right collarbone in a violent collision with Andruw Jones on Saturday night in Milwaukee.

WOW - WHAT A HIT VIDEO!!!

That is why you CALL OFF the other fielders. First thing you learn in the outfield in Little League.

*shakes head*

I was watching the game when it happened. It surprised me that Jones-Giles collided since you'd figure that one would call off the other.

That sucks. Jones is too important to call other fielders off though. That is for sucks, but not for AJ.

I saw it live, no one called for it, presumably because neither thought they could get to it. What a vicious hit. Giles head snapped and hit the ground worse than most hard NFL hits.

It's a hell of a lot different in the Major Leagues. There's a whole different system they have to use because of the bigger field and the noise.

Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

Thanks for the link. I missed it in real-time.
