Game #040
A note from Brett
High, high temperature ... over 100!!
Now back at the hotel for the night
I can go back at seven or so if I feel better ... but I don't think it's likely
I am bad right now ... my head is miserable
Oh well, at least it lets my hand get another day to relax!!

NOTE #05
Game #041

Game #049
A note from Brett
Well, you may know I have been placed on the Disabled List until the second game in Bowie which is on Saturday 26th May
My hand is a little sore, and with me being sick that was just another reason
We have just lost a catcher to injury so they are going to try and work around some things ... and this is what the Team Officials have decided to do
Might also be good to let my hand get as healthy as possible before I play again
And then get ready to get hot!!
Curve Notes - "Covering the Bases"
The Curve’s struggling bullpen received a much-needed boost Tuesday with the return of RHP Matt Peterson, who was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on May 15
Peterson had an 0.98 ERA and seven saves in 12 appearances as Altoona’s closer
He allowed one run in 4-1/3 innings for Indy
OF Brett Roneberg was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to Saturday, with a strained left wrist to clear a spot for Peterson
Roneberg is batting .227 in 33 games
An update note from Brett - Friday 25th May
I had the xrays ... and they were negative!!
I have to wear a brace for four days and also take some anti-inflammatorys
And now wait and see how we go
Off to Bowie now
An update note from Brett - Sunday 27th May
It's going well over here
My hand is feeling better and better
And I will be back in the line up soon
Curve Notes - "Covering the Bases" - Monday 28th May 2007
OF Brett Roneberg’s strained left wrist was xrayed and put in a splint, but Manager Tim Leiper said Roneberg should be okay after taking the next few days off
An update phone call from Brett - Wednesday 30th May 2007
Brett rang to say that he had just completed his batting practise and that besides a minor irritation, his hand and wrist felt pretty good!!!
He expects to be back on the playing roster within a day or two

A note from Brett - Sunday 24th June 2007
I know things haven't been going really well lately ... and I am afraid it just got a little worse
I have hurt my hand again and I am going back on the Disabled List again tomorrow
I am pretty sure of this because I told Tim Leiper I couldn't swing and that it will take some time just like before
I am very disappointed just as I am sure that you all are
There is nothing I can do besides trying to rehab as best I can to get healthy as quickly as possible
I feel like crap over here right now and might just go see a movie tonight to kill some time and get my mind off of it all
But tomorrow I will be good again and do all I can to get better
A note from Brett - Tuesday 26th June 2007
Well, here we are again
I have been to the doctor again today and got an MRI like I did with my shoulder
It hurt a lot more this time when they put the dye in ... and I about went through the roof!
Got the reading 'sort of' back tonight
The assistant read it and said it was a deep bone bruise and it should heel to 100% over time ... but I am not sure how long that is just yet
I find out the final reading tomorrow but it should be okay
The bruise is in the same place where I broke it in January
Sucks!!
I am now going to go into rehab and I think I am staying here to do it and I just hope it doesn't take too long
Also there are two more outfielders coming tomorrow
I have to talk to Brian Graham in the next few days about what they want me to do
I honestly am not sure about my playing time when I do come back but we'll cross the bridge when we come to it
Just an update and I will be back online tomorrow
A note from Brett - Thursday 28th June 2007
No news yet ... and I am going to take that as good news!!
The doctor didn't call or come bye yesterday so I will say that makes me feel a little better!!
Hope to hear officially today and I will email or call then
A note from Brett - Saturday 7th July 2007
With the hand, I have a doctor's appointment the first day after the All Star Game break which is 10th and 11th July
I might get a pain killing injection if I need it ... but it does feel a lot better
I have been doing a small range of motion exercises and it's improving
So hopefully after five more days I may even get to start swinging!!
I want to be ready and then have six weeks to finish the season
That is my ideal situation
A note from Brett - Thursday 12th July 2007
There isn't any really bad news ... more so just news ... not good or bad
The first MRI I had two weeks ago was done incorrectly, so I found out today
What they did see on the first one was two bone bruises but no definitive answer on the ligaments
So I am now having what's called a three injection arthrogram
They put dye in three different areas to see if there are any leaks
Had the first one today and I then have two more Monday
Then an appointment after them on Monday with the hand specialist
Hope it's good news!
As for now, there is no chance of playing til at least the first on the month in my mind
And with our lineup how it is right now, I don't know if I will play when healthy anyway
Not what I wanted to hear, but there isn't much I can do right now except push my good news date back to Monday and just hope!

A note from Brett - Wednesday 18th July 2007
Is all good!
Every scan I have had has said that it's all okay and that I am okay to resume activity
I will start small and slow and hope to progress to swinging in about a week or so
The doctor said it is going to hurt ... probably a lot ... but it's not doing further damage so try to swing through it
He is going to give me some painkillers and I am going to go from there
If after two to three weeks of trying to play and it's still being sore, I will go to Pittsburgh to see another hand specialist for a second opinion
But as for today, I am starting to do things!!
About bloody time, huh!!
A note from Brett - Monday 23rd July 2007
Well, today went really good
A lot better than I thought it was going to be
I had fifteen dry swings with a fungo bat and surprisingly had zero pain or discomfort
I also got to play catch as well
It all went really well!!
I am not sure of my plans tomorrow ... but I am sure it will be a little more than today
Not bad for a start!!
A note from Brett - Thursday 26th July 2007
Tuesday I swung a fungo twenty times ... with no problems
Wednesday I swung the fungo fifteen times and then a timber bat also fifteen times ... again, no worries at all
Today I am a little achy but I have to deal with a few niggles for a little while
I am not sure what my plan is for today but tomorrow I am hitting off the tee
A note from Brett - Saturday 28th July 2007
The last few days have been good for my hand
But my return to the roster has been pushed back to the first game in Portland, which is on Tuesday 7th August
So I hope if all goes well, I will be in there then
Swinging a lot lately and it feels good ... a lot better than I thought it was going to be
A note from Brett - Tuesday 31st July 2007
Coming off the Disabled List
I was pushed up to be activated on Wednesday 1st August
But then we got another player that they weren't sure if they were getting
Hopefully they will activate me soon!!
I am not sure what is going to happen ... but I hope I get in there asap!!
