Update: Did you know Grady Sizemore suffered a sports hernia injury in May on the same slide that injured his knee? Neither did anyone else until today when the Tribe announced that Sizemore underwent successful abdominal surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks.
Sizemore’s statement: “The injury which resulted in today’s surgery has been bothering me since the slide in May. Knowing the two areas are related and also learning my knee condition is not serious gives me peace of mind going forward that I can finish the season healthy and help contribute to an exciting pennant chase.”
Also, he added, “I just used a Q-tip and my ear fell off, so that’s new.” (Cleveland.com)

The Indians put Grady Sizemore on the 15-day DL today after Sizemore injured his right knee while running the bases during yesterday’s loss to the Orioles. If you’re thinking that Grady + knee injury + DL = bad, bad, bad things, you’d be right.

Once the knees start to go there is no turning back. They are never the same. It’s only a matter of time and that time is very short.
i’ve heard that juicing damages joints….
Grady has never lived up to what was expected of him. GET RID OF HIM and move on!
WOW! What haters! Grady is now & has always been one of the hardest working players for the Tribe…what short memories you all have. Unfortunately, his injury has held him up, but to even suggest that he has ever used steroids is comical and he has always lived up to our expectations. Do you people even watch baseball?
