Matt Antonelli is having hand surgery today

The hamate bone is labeled "H" in Blue.  Don't look at it too long and get any ideas, I already got dibs on that.

Matt Antonelli's blog:

I want to thank everyone that has sent me good luck wishes for quick healing of my hand over the past couple of days. In a few hours I will be heading over to the hospital to receive surgery to repair my broken hamate bone in my left hand. From what I hear, the recovery time for a surgery like this is six to eight weeks, but I am hoping I can recover quicker and get back out on the field shortly.

Showing genuine concern for Matt, I did a little research to learn more about the hamate bone or as I sometimes call it the unciform bone.

Wikipedia:

It is also a common injury in baseball players. A number of professional baseball players have had the bone removed during the course of their careers

I asked Antonelli via twitter if he too was having the hamate bone removed.  He said the surgeons would remove the broken piece I called dibs on the bone piece... sometimes I even weird myself out.

If I'm not mistaken

This is the same thing Everth Cabrera went through last year.

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

And now i have this mental image of jbox, with Antonelli’s hamate bone in his pocket, walking up to any girl he sees asking, “wanna check out my PFOB?”

"showing genuine concern for matt"

I think the reason Matt is so damn unlucky

Is cuz he’s a Boston lover

Well for one I'm not a huge Yankees fan

and for two, he’s a Padres fan, not a Red Sox fan.

Actually I lied

I have a Scott and BR special edition Calloway hat. But I’ve never worn it cuz I hate non-fitted hats.

Is that a reference to his hand injury

And how he can’t be pulling himself?

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I was just asking a question.

I was just trying to make sure it wasn’t dirty.
