Just heard, Steve I was going to post it on the game thread and now I don't. So he played 2 games with a leg fracture?? Wow

I remember saying that these bad bone bruises always end up being a fracture of some kind. It's too bad considering the season he was having and will now remain a major impact on this team's offense. I guess we look forward to his walk year next season and hopefully Bird keeps progressing as suitable replacement.

You did Vic on one of the Game Threads when I posted he was going back to NY for more tests. This sucks.

Now Bird will get a real test. 5HRs & 17 RBI in 24 games, production isn't bad but he needs to cut down on the strike outs.

Bird is the Word...

 

[cagedlion]

He was brittle before the season began.

Wow. His "bump" really cost him and the team......
and he did it to himself.

 

[Majorball]

Not worried about Bird's strikeouts because he has shown he can get deep into the counts. He isn't afraid of hitting with 2 strikes. Most of his K's have been swing and miss, not starring at strike 3.

Be nice....Btw where is that sunset in California??

 

[Pastafazul]

wow, now that puts a damper on things, not only having a great year offensively, but his defense!!! as captain of the infield, wow... this really sucks. man o man does girardi have his hands full

 

[yankeesince59]

...this is just f'n great.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Can you imagine how Bird must feel, First Baseman for the New York Yankees in a pennant race, damn what a sudden responsibility. Going to miss the "D" that Tex provided but I think Bird will be OK. Bottom line is that the regulars all step up.

 

[Rick2583]

Ellsbury & Gardner need to be major table setters now.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Let's hope Bird can make us forget about Tex, tho' its unlikely IMO. Not saying Bird can't handle the load, yet to reach and succed in PS, will depend a helluva lot on "bye bye Birdie" or bye bye Post Season, chances.....
