Tampa Bay Rays are a great story this year. You hate to see this. It would be nice to have the team 100% (like all the other teams) going into the post season. It sucks every year to watch a great team fall apart due to injuries just when it gets down to the end of the grind. Bummer.

Sure thanks Carl... Now you tell me... So I could have kept you on the DL rather than cutting you completely from my fantasy baseball team?!
&^*$%*!

His right middle Knuckle? Damn he needs that while he's looking back at Boston!

Ha! But he won't for the Yankees, they'll be too far behind to see anything! HA!

Yankees will need a very good pair of glasses to see that little digit.

Nothing much.binoculars? Don't you broads know anything about swimming pools and shrinkage?

Isn't that sweet. No matter how much i go swimming can't get my damn belly to shrink! Anyway this morning so far a good day, me and Layla watching noggin together.

It's been a tough 24 hours. But I'll live.

It's a shame he got hurt during this great season for the Rays

It's great to see the Rays fill the void and have role players step up. They've managed to still win consistently.

No one's going to catch them in the AL East, so it's better to have a rested Crawford and Longoria for the stretch run and the playoffs.

The Rays appear to be a team on a mission, I think they'll overcome his absence form the lineup for a month.

I hope he can make it back...Tampa needs him.

they haven't missed a beat with all the injuries...they are holding their own with the class of the AL the angels...that being said, if the rays must beat my beloved yankees, I hope they get to the playoffs healthy and fully intact.

If the Rays make the playoffs, Crawford wants in on that. I don't blame him.

Too bad for Carl - the one real pro during all their bad years and he can't be part of the run to the pennant !!!

Carl has been the constant in Tampa for several years. During the dismal years when everyone ran away from the Rays, he performed every day like a true champion. Not feigning phantom injury or copping an attitude. When the playoffs roll around he will be there. I don't think a pack of mules would be able to drag him off the field when we get there.

DEVO (SPECTRE) UMMM --- who says the team is falling apart???? Their record after Crawford and Longoria were injured is 9 and 3!! All the naysayers need to understand that this team's success is not based on one, two, or even three key players. Every single member of the roster contributes and helps pick up the slack when another is injured.
Carl is one of the many keys to this team's success. His ability to return will be a huge accomplishment. But the Rays continue to shine without him, as well as without Longoria and Percival.
