Furcal goes down

Left ankle sprain when Repko unaware that he was in a meaningless ST game takes out the Dodger MVP with a slide after Furcal made an over the shoulder catch. Xrays being taken.

If Bay hadn't dropped to me in 3rd round he'd be on my roster. Luck is so much a part of this game.

WTF!?!

Shortstop Rafael Furcal injured his left ankle after colliding with center fielder Jason Repko while they chased Corey Patterson's blooper and was taken to a hospital for X-rays.

Furcal writhed in pain after the play and was taken from the field on a mechanized cart.

Dodger Radio is reporting that he will only miss one week so were looking at a moderate sprain with nothing serious. In 2003 he also sprained his ankle in March and had a stellar season. Potential crisis appears to have been averted. Dodger fans and bagholders of Furcal rejoice.

I heard they were going to have to amputate! All those who own Furcal better drop him fast into the FA pool!
