76clubs 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 LMAO!!!DID ANYONE ELSE SEE HIM GET HIT IN THE NOSE DURING BP!?HE IS A MAJOR LEAGUE CATCHER!!! HOW DOES HE GET HIT IN THE FACE WITH A BASEBALL WHEN HE IS WEARING A GLOVE!?EDIT:i could have been more clear on this. It appeared to me that Posada was poised to catch a baseball, but then completely wiffed and was hit in the face.if it happened any other way, it is significantly less funny.

HOW DOES HE GET HIT IN THE FACE WITH A BASEBALL WHEN HE IS WEARING A GLOVE!?Yeah...that's so funny that someone that plays for another team broke their nose. Man..I can't wait until Paul Konerko snaps his achilles tendon so that I can make fun of hit b*tch ***.Seriously though....he was playing catch with someone and someone from BP probably just hit a ball and he didn't see it and it hit him while he wasn't really looking. That's just a blind guess.......but sh*t like that happens. Don't really see the "funny," part.... Link to post Share on other sites
MDXS 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I didn't see it, but I certainly laughed when I heard it. The article said that he broke his nose playing catch. Koop, that's funny. I'm sure the circumstances were more involved and the injury was unavoidable, but the idea that Posada just missed the ball and broke his nose will have me laughing at least for a couple days.Heh...eminds me of when Jeter got that black eye in spring training. Heh... Link to post Share on other sites

Don't really see the "funny," part....Did you laugh when you first saw jose canseco get hit in the head with that pop fly in right that bounces over the wall for a homerun?i dont laugh when most players get hurt, but seriously, hes just playing catch and he gets hit in the nose!

MDXS 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 It's not like laughing at Bryce Florie or Dave Dravecky. Posada and his rat-like face will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites

Heh...Uhh...I was under the impression that he was hit by a batted ball that he did not see WHILE playing catch......not that he just missed catching a ball and got hit by it. If he completely whiffed on a thrown ball by the same guy he was playing catch with..then that's different. Link to post Share on other sites
kers2 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 It's not like laughing at Bryce Florie or Dave Dravecky. Posada and his rat-like face and smoking hot wife will be fine.I gotta feel bad for the guy. I know its not the same thing but one day during practice my junior year I was catching while my coach hit infield practice. And our hotshot senior shortstop always threw knuckleballs back to me after he fielded the grounders. I caught all of them except for 1... I jumped up and it knuckled down WHAM right in the kisser for me. Luckily I didnt get any teeth knocked out. Link to post Share on other sites

Being blindsided by the ball and being hit in the nose..not that funny. Being a professional baseball player and getting hit in the nose by a ball thrown at you as you are prepared to catch it....funny. Link to post Share on other sites

Being a professional baseball player and getting hit in the nose by a ball thrown at you as you are prepared to catch it....funny.We're on the same page then.Adams, we're not on the same page. People getting hurt is often funny. It just depends on circumstances/long-term ramifications/how much time has passed since it happened. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Sorry I don't see the humor in this. Someone getting hurt isn't funny.that is a flat-out lie. someone getting kicked in the nerts for instance, is funny. serious injuries are very rarely funny (except if its like Hitler breaking his collarbone) but unserious injuries are often funny.

MDXS 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Just got the story. He was playing catch next to some teammates who were also playing catch. Posada mistakenly tried to catch the wrong ball and in the process got hit by the ball his catch partner threw. Final verdict: funny. Link to post Share on other sites
