Iffy at best .... hot & cold. No word on Jordan Horston. Officials are making ticky-tact calls on TN. Pissing off the crowd. :) Lady Vols up by 16 now on a quick spurt.

So, the knee that I hurt about a month ago, while impersonating Derek Jeter, at little league, swelled up the size of a softball 2 days ago and felt like I had a fever in my knee and was painful to the touch.
Well now it’s moved down to my ankle and the knee looks to be getting back to normal.
What the heck is going on?!

General consensus after the game is if they don’t play tomorrow they will only play one on Sunday because there is very limited pitching with all the guys that are out. After tonight it is almost all freshman and juco guys pitching.

Could be a number of things. Veins could have had a lot of pressure at your knee and the edema backed up to the ankle. If you have been standing a lot, gravity could have moved the edema further down the leg. You could have unknowingly injured the ankle along with the knee. You could have changed your gait to compensate for the edema/pain in the knee and put more load further down your leg. Could be other things that I might not be thinking of off the top of my head. Does your calf hurt at all if you go up on your toes? If so, you possibly might want to get checked out for a DVT.

On November 11 in Baseball History...​
  • 1926 - Eddie Collins is released as White Sox manager. He will rejoin the Philadelphia A's as a player-coach. Catcher Ray Schalk takes his place in Chicago.

  • 1943 - The MVPs for both leagues are named. Spud Chandler wins it in the American League Stan Musial in the National League.

  • 1953 - Jimmy Dykes, recently released as the manager of the Athletics, succeeds Marty Marion as the manager of the Baltimore Orioles.

  • 1958 - The American League announces that Kansas City will play 52 night games in 1959, a new league mark.

  • 1970 - Boog Powell, who batted .297 with 35 homers and 114 RBI for Baltimore, is named American League Most Valuable Player by a 234-157 margin over the Tony Oliva of the Twins.

  • 1981 - Dodgers southpaw Fernando Valenzuela becomes the first rookie ever to win a Cy Young Award, edging the Reds' Tom Seaver 70-67 for National League honors. He was the first rookie since Herb Score in 1955 to lead his league in strikeouts with 180.

  • 1982 - Joe Altobelli succeeds the retired Earl Weaver as Orioles manager. Altobelli is the second Yankees coach to take a managing job this month, and will be Baltimore's first new pilot since 1968.

  • 1986 - Houston's Mike Scott (18-10) beats Fernando Valenzuela (21-11) for the National League Cy Young Award, garnering 15 first-place votes to Valenzuela's nine.

  • 1987 - Roger Clemens becomes the first pitcher since Jim Palmer in 1975-1976 to win consecutive Cy Young Awards, collecting 21 of 28 first-place votes to easily beat runner-up Jimmy Key.

  • 1990 - California's Chuck Finley and Seattle's Randy Johnson combine to pitch a no-hitter in the finale of an eight-game exhibition series between American and Japanese all-star teams. But Japan still wins the series 4-3 with one tie, the first time since 1970 that a touring U.S. team has left Japan with a losing record.

  • 1996 - John Smoltz, who won a major league-high 24 games for the Braves, wins the National League Cy Young Award in a runaway. Smoltz, the National League leader in strikeouts (276), innings (253.2), and winning percentage (.750), receives 26 of 28 first-place votes. Kevin Brown of the Marlins, the major-league ERA leader (1.89), receives the other two first-place votes.

  • 1997 - Pedro Martinez breaks the hold Greg Maddux and the Braves have on the National League Cy Young Award. From 1991-1996, either Maddux or a Braves pitcher captured the award. Martinez beats out Maddux in 1997 with 17 wins, 305 strikeouts, a 1.90 ERA, and 13 complete games. Martinez gives Canada a clean sweep of the Cy Young in 1997, with Roger Clemens winning the American League award a day earlier. It's a bittersweet moment for Montreal: The cost-cutting Expos eventually deal Martinez to the highest bidder.

VP, the only pain was bending it extremely or touching the front off the knee, outside of knee and down the outside of my shin.
My ankle is not sore at all but it’s swollen something terrible.

The Expos developed so many good players for the rest of the league.

If the ankle isn’t sore then it’s more than likely gravity has helped pushed it down there or it just backed up down there and the venous flow had nowhere to go due to the knee being swollen. I know it’s hard while you are working but I would try to elevate and ice as often as you can. And work in some ankle exercises to help push it back up the leg. As long as there isn’t pain then it shouldn’t be too much to worry about. Unless it stays there for over a week or two, then I would go to the doctor, especially if pain starts developing in the ankle at some point.

When someone says “I have a fever” in a swollen joint, DVT is the first thing I think of. Yeah, CW needs to get that checked out to rule out clotting, etc.

Probably one of the coolest helmets I’ve ever seen. Marshall will be honoring those that lost their lives on that plane crash in 1970 and all 75 people will have their names written within the stripe.

I saw that movie about 15 years ago (I think) and it had a huge impact on me as far as that incident goes. To think that could even happen….the enormity of all that is mind-boggling. I’m glad the university is doing that to honor those who perished. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
