Byrnes returning to D-Backs

Eric Byrnes doesn't intend to throw on a cape, swoop back into his starting spot in left field and be a savior for the Diamondbacks as they try to nail down the National League West Division title. But that doesn't mean he isn't contemplating a comeback this season, even as most reports have him likely missing the rest of the year because of a torn left hamstring. If his rehab work continues to make strides and the results of an MRI exam this month look positive, Byrnes said Wednesday that he expects to be activated from the 60-day disabled list and be available for the club's stretch run.

Well, after looking into it I am guessing this is now someone mocking him instead...

Byrnes needs to sit it out or he may make it worse.

He's fun to watch, and I like him, in a general sort of way, but he's not that good. He had a fluke season last year is all.

Yea, Byrnes is what I would call a "grinder". He's really not that talented just plays ballz out every day. Gotta love that.

Well, Mr. Newton, how goes it? I agree 100% with your insightful and intelligent description of Mr. Byrnes.

I've enjoyed watching him since he was running full-blast into the walls of the Coluseum.

Plus, he looks like Mr. Heatmiser. You gotta love that, too.

seems to me that he should sit out or he will make it worse, but if it was me i would be doing the same thing trying to get back out there as soon as you can.
