      He was playing with his son at a family fun center. It's a freak, unfortunate occurrence, but you can't expect these guys to not have a life. Apparently he was bleeding so bad he could have been in serious trouble.

        You can't get fired up about Joba being a father, it's not like he meant to openly dislocate his ankle. I feel for the guy, it's really unfortunate. Sure, you're taking a chance of getting injured when you get on a trampoline, but at least he wasn't out drunk acting like an idiot getting hurt.

            I see what you mean, but the tweet about Pettitte was fantastic.

              NY Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain's comeback has been crushed ... thanks to a gruesome trampoline accident at a kid's play center yesterday.

                    Exactly. When his kid said, "Come on daddy, let's go on the trampoline!" was he supposed to say, "Sorry, son, I have to think about Yankee fans that might be upset if I sustain a career-threatening injury. Let's just go play putt-putt instead." ?

                    No. If you're going to have that kind of mindset, you should be mad that baseball players drive cars. Because there's a much better chance they'll hurt themselves doing that than horsing around with their child.

                      Yeah, these guys have been hurt slipping in the shower before. You cant just not live your life because you're a professional baseball player.

                            "Of course I was mad. I mean, I'm a human being," Jimenez said, as we stood in a Cactus League clubhouse after his latest outing at spring training. An ice bag cooled his right shoulder. An unfamiliar bitterness crept into his voice.

                            Nearly eight months after being dumped by the Rockies, Jimenez still struggles to gain command of his fastball and make sense of the trade. Divorce can be messy. But I'm not sure the breakup angst that Frank and Jamie McCourt inflicted on the Los Angeles Dodgers can match the emotional scars left on Jimenez.

                            Long before Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd traded Jimenez to the Indians last summer, the trust was broken between the most talented pitcher in franchise history and management. Truth be known, Jimenez wanted out of Colorado.

                            "If someone doesn't want to be here," Tulowitzki said Friday, "we always say, 'Please, go up to the manager and tell him you want to leave or that you don't think this is the best place for you.' That was kind of the case with him."

                            "Last year was a roller coaster because I didn't know what I had before I pitched a game. I didn't know what I had physically. I know I wasn't 100 percent. Sometimes I felt good, sometimes I didn't. So it was hard," Jimenez said.

                            "There were too many things last year. There were people saying that I probably wasn't ready because of the contract. ... But I know what I did. I know how hard I worked to get ready every single day."

                            "He needs to put this to an end, go pitch and help his team," Tulowitzki said. "Now his new team is questioning him."

                            The big questions: Did Jimenez lose his free spirit in the Rocky Mountains? And without it, can he ever again be a dominant pitcher?
                            Looking back at it, glad the Rockies pulled the trigger and shipped him out.

                              I think it's about the third time Ubaldo talked about that topic this spring.

                                I wish he'd quit yapping about what happened in Colorado and start worrying about not going 3-0 to every batter he faces.
