May 29, 200818 yr Author Come on where the inside info for me on Diaz this is important. HT the only thing I can find is that it is a PCL strain and that he is going to the DL for at least 15 days maybe more. If I had to say it'd probably be the 60 day DL but depends on what the re-evaluation says tomorrow, I'll let ya know!
May 29, 200818 yr ^ I was going to go but I have to work all weekend. It sucks!!! Someone called and offered me tickets, so I accepted. Looking forward to it...

May 29, 200818 yr Hopefully you'll provide them with some luck so they can get a win on the road. Yeah, I hope.

You seem pretty optimistic unlike some other things I have heard about the injury. I guess we will see.
May 29, 200818 yr Author You seem pretty optimistic unlike some other things I have heard about the injury. I guess we will see. Care to provide a link to what you've heard or tell me where you heard it. From websites and blog sites I've seen nothing that has stated any kind of season or career ending injury. But like I've said I haven't seen the play to see how bad it really was. They may be covering it up for now and not letting it out yet.
May 29, 200818 yr From the Braves Official Site: The Braves announced that Diaz is going on the 15-day disabled list with a left knee injury. The original diagnosis is that he suffered a posterior cruciate ligament strain. When he returns to Atlanta on Wednesday, the 30-year-old outfielder will get a better idea of the severity of his injury. "He's going to be out a while," manager Bobby Cox said of his outfielder, who has been battling to find the form that helped him hit a combined .333 over the previous two seasons. Diaz suffered the injury when he slid into the wall in an attempt to catch Prince Fielder's long fly into foul territory along the left-field line. His left knee hit the unpadded portion of the wall, causing the ligament trauma and creating a laceration that required four stitches. Still Diaz finished the inning and even attempted to reach with a bunt single with one out in the seventh inning. He said on his fourth stride down the first-base line that he could tell something might be structurally wrong. "When I got up and started moving around it started to feel better," Diaz said. "But when I laid that bunt down and tried to run that out, I could feel it give." Rotowire comments: "It's possible he tore his PCL, which would likely end his season."
May 29, 200818 yr Author ^ Yeah I was just going by what the site said which was a strain. Now if it is a tear then yeah he won't be back this season. I don't know much about PCL tears, but if it was tore then he wouldn't be able to really walk on it much less lay down a bunt could he?
