UPDATE: One other thing: Russ Branyan explained the odd toe injury that occurred Thursday morning when a table fell on his foot in his hotel room. He showed reporters the toe - it's pretty ugly. Manager Don Wakamatsu said he's "iffy" for the entire series in Anaheim.
Branyan explained that the sun shining through the open blinds awakened him early in the morning. He went to close them, and moved a chair against the curtains to keep them shut. When he turned to go back to bed, he bumped the table, knocking it over directly onto his foot. Apparently it was a top-heavy iron apparatus that didn't need much momentum to topple over.
Not yet realizing the extent of his injury, he got back into bed. But he quickly realized something was wrong.
"It's pretty wet down there so I turned on the light and there was blood on the sheets,'' he said. "Then I get up and I went to the bathroom and got a towel and wrapped it tight, until the bleeding stopped."
Eventually, Branyan called trainer Rob Nodine, (not Rob Johnson, as I said earlier) who brought over an ice pack.
Branyan added that the hotel removed the table from his room.
