Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost was recovering from a broken collarbone Wednesday, a day after he tripped during a jog near Wrigley Field.

"I felt like an idiot," he said.

Yost said he was finishing a run from Lake Michigan on Tuesday when his foot got caught in uneven pavement. He tried to balance himself but fell headfirst, injuring his right collarbone, bruising his hip and scraping his shin.

He went to a hospital and a doctor recommended that Yost have his arm immobilized. Yost declined and returned to the park, where he guided the NL Central-leading Brewers past the Chicago Cubs 4-1.

"The doctor wanted to put it in a sling," Yost said. "I'm fine, really. I didn't sleep [Tuesday night], but it wasn't like I was in pain."

"I've never hit that hard before in my life," he said. "It's not a big deal. It's just whatever pain you can take. You put it out of your head and go."

LOL! This may be right up there with the Smoltz burning himself by ironing his shirt while wearing it.

He denies it, but where there's smoke, there's fire...

As long as he's upending every other bit of conventional wisdom about pitching career this season, John Smoltz figures he may as well correct this little bit of misinformation too: He did not--never, ever (let's be perfectly clear about this)--burn himself by trying to iron his shirt while he was still wearing it.

"That is the most false thing I've ever heard," Smoltz says. "That got created six years ago, and it never left me. Ironing my shirt while it was on-that's the most absurd thing. It was made up. But it got on Arsenio Hall, CNN, everywhere. And what do you do to stop it? I just read it again."

There are some players in MLB that could benefit from this mindset, one for the Marlins in particular.

Didn't somebody recently have some goofball injury like a bad sunburn or something that caused them to miss a game? I could swear I remember Jim Rome talking about it and saying that it made the Clint Barmis fiasco look mild.

Also don't forget our own glass man, JD Drew who had to sit out after hurting his neck while swimming in a swamp or some shit like that.
