Adams will get a Chance to Play now...

[khamill]

I see Zim is on the DL (surprise).  In my opinion, I think Adams should of been playing all along.  I used to love Zimmerman, but he is in the twilight of his career and he is not our best option at first base.  Matt Adams should be the everyday first baseman. 

[NatsAllThe Way]

Nice Dong today, Matt.

[Slateman]

We really need Rendon to play every day or go on the IL. Adams is useless against LHP

[imref]

Adams should play every day against RHP, but I'd start Howie most games against LHP (assuming Rendon doesn't end up on the IL)

[Expos]

I've been saying it for 2 years. Zimmerman is gone and has no buisness starting. If we want to win games that is.

I don't understand how this works, but they say once you rupture the plantar fascia, the pain goes away and you can run just fine again.

So what does this thing do?

For Zimm, it lets him collect $18MM for sitting on his ass.  Zimm and I do the same job, only I don't make anywhere near that much doing it...

Go yell at some clouds old man.

Yep. A full tear is actually preferable.

I'm only learning about this now and I'm a little miffed. I've had this problem for a while and it turns out, I could have had surgery and fixed it.

There has to be *some* downside.

And me too. I can run three times a week with a crap-ton of stretching. Try the fourth day and I'm hobbled for two weeks.

Another interesting fact I learned... a lot of people that are suspected of having plantar fascitis actually have some degree of plantar fasciosis - dead tissue. Nice, right?

To tearing it? It hurts like freak, probably.

Yea, big surprise, the Marine Corps freaked up my feet/legs. On the plus side, I can brag about making it through sniper school with plantar fascitits. And Zim can't even run home from first

It's what I specialize in...and I've become quite proficient in it...

Is Zimm organizing M&Gs now?  I had not heard.

I think that's a part of his 5 year, $2MM/ Personal Services Contract, so he gets to take over next year...

I would love for Zim to show up to the M&G and read aloud the comments people have posted here about him.
