Angels Kendry Morales does a Gramatica!
Edited on Sat May-29-10 07:54 PM by Upton
In one moment, Angels players were exultant. In the next, they were waving the trainers over and standing silently over fallen teammate Kendry Morales, who suffered what was reported to be an ankle injury while celebrating his walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning Saturday.

Morales had just given the Angels a 5-1 win over the Seattle Mariners when, as he neared home plate after rounding the bases, he leaped into the air as teammates who had rushed from the dugout waited to celebrate with him.

But when he landed, he appeared to slip. He fell to the ground immediately and lay on his back for several minutes before paramedics came onto the field. A cart was driven out, bearing a stretcher.

It was hard to determine the extent of his injury as Morales lay amid the scrum of teammates. He was taken from the field on the cart as fans cheered and Morales lay with hands crossed on top of his face.

I saw the end of this game...Morales didn't look in very good shape. Angels better hope this guy is okay... He leads their team in BA, HR, and RBI. I just don't get the way teams celebrate every walk off like they won the WS.

1. So, did he cross the plate or not?
I suppose the other three did, so the M's (and the rest of the AL) are screwn anyway. :(
