There is no other way to describe Jacoby Ellsbury other than pussy.

What am I supposed to say? Its not like he took got drilled in the ribs with a 98 mph fast ball or Adrian Beltre gave him another knee to the chest.

Ellsbury got touched by Texas Rangers pitcher Tommy Hunter on Friday night, tumbled to the ground and re injured his rib.  This guy is pissa.

That wasn’t exactly a “crushing blow” by any standards.  Well, I would understand if someone over 70 years old fell like that and broke a hip, but a 26 year old professional athlete should be able to take a fall like that and walk away.

Going on the DL because you tumbled to the ground is pretty friggin wimpy, you gotta admit.

You figure he would be as healthy as an ox after missing over two months. His body hasn’t exactly seen much wear and tear.

For reason unknown to me, fans welcomed him back with open arms after missing over two months to rehab his ribs after the first “injury.”

I cant imagine they will welcome him back so warmly when he comes back (if he comes back). Ive been calling him the new Manny Ramirez. I think he just proved he is deserving of that title.
