I didn't see it, but I heard about it, and hearing about it made me sad.
:(
No word on his condition as of 5:35.
5:36 update: Saw it. Pad your damn walls
5:41 update: If I heard Sims right, Guti is day-to-day with a contusion, and x-rays "may have been" negative, whatever that means. If true, our season lives on!
Later update: Confirmation from Stone at Baker's blog.
It doesn't sound as dire as it looked. He has a left elbow and left knee contusion, and x-rays on his knee were negative. He also has an abrasion on his left knee. He's listed as day to day. That's about as good an outcome as you could hope for. It sounds like nothing is broken or sprained.

The apocalypse
Aaron Campeau - July 21, 2009
Made a great catch, flew elbow-first into the embedded scoreboard
Jeff Sullivan - July 21, 2009
*attempt

DAY TO DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Poochie - July 21, 2009
News just came in, HOLY SHIT THE X-RAYS ARE NEGATIVE.
Just contusions. Lucky lucky lucky.
The prayers worked.
esoteric - July 21, 2009
How do they have x-rays already?
abender20 - July 21, 2009
Every stadium has an x-ray machine for just these sorts of situations.
And it doesn’t take long at all to develop them.

That pretty boy is such a drama queen
Rudy4three - July 21, 2009
Shut up. He looked like a rag doll after hitting the wall.
Sinking Away - July 21, 2009
And you're a giant cockmaven
Graham MacAree - July 21, 2009
Rec'd for cockmaven
Aaron Campeau - July 21, 2009
He's okay. Day to day
Rudy4three - July 21, 2009
This just had to happen while he's on a tear and putting his offensive game together.
Too fucking convenient. Suck it, baseball gods.
russak - July 21, 2009
gif or link to video?
sirbrianwilson - July 21, 2009
Gameday has a video link
Jeff Sullivan - July 21, 2009
In the old days I would have giffed it for shock value
Poochie - July 21, 2009
Only funny if he were badly hurt
Jeff Sullivan - July 21, 2009
WHICH HE'S NOT!
Jeff Sullivan - July 21, 2009
WOOHOO

Immediate good news is obviously much better than immediate bad
but I’m always wary until the player returns to the field.

GUTI IS A MACHINE MADE OF STEEL
Hopefully this will teach him to take a page out of Ichiro’s book and stop making injury-inviting plays.
maalox - July 21, 2009
I think this is a sign that we should change the site subtitle back to Branyan
bamfor - July 21, 2009
Agreed
Keep it sexual, please.
maalox - July 21, 2009
It's still somewhat sexual
Jeff Sullivan - July 21, 2009
I meant if you change it back to Branyan.
Although that’s like telling Griffey not to ground out to 2nd
maalox - July 21, 2009
I agree.
Mariner Melee - July 21, 2009
Make it stop. Who is it anyway?
Sinking Away - July 21, 2009
Griffey
Mariner Melee - July 21, 2009
FUCK YOU, DETROIT
Wilder. - July 21, 2009
At least we’re not Detroit.
westbrook - July 21, 2009
But still no word on how long he'll be out?
And at the very least, this’ll probably fuck up his hot streak. Oh well. Better than it could’ve been.
DAMellen - July 21, 2009
His offense will be fine
Jeff Sullivan - July 21, 2009
This is why Ichiro doesn't dive for balls...
Though I understand it was a wall. Ichiro probably would have stopped short had he realized that he was going to break himself.
Also, WTF with non-padded outfield walls? This isn’t an ancient stadium like Wrigley.
Let’s spread caltrops around specific areas of the outfield next time Detroit comes to Seattle and see how they like it.
CMC_Stags - July 21, 2009
Outfield walls need to be padded.
And stadiums need to have retractable roofs.
Mariner Melee - July 21, 2009
There is a god!
Zwakamatsu - July 21, 2009
YES! Absolutely best-case scenario.
A couple of bruises and he skinned his knee. It looked to me like he just had the wind knocked out of him, but I thought that was just what I wanted to see.

A cut closed with a butterfly bandage, says Drayer
msb - July 21, 2009
I think knowing nothing about Gutz' injury until I checked LL after the game ended saved me from losing about 5 years on my life.
Decatur - July 21, 2009
Hey there.
Just wanted to say I’m glad Guti is all right. It’s never a good thing to see a guy go down like that.
Zu Long - July 21, 2009
Unless it's Torii Hunter
