" Crabtree was operated on Wednesday, one day after suffering the injury during an organized team activity.

"Michael Crabtree underwent surgery to repair his Achilles tendon that he tore yesterday," coach Jim Harbaugh said.

"Surgery was successful and we do not anticipate it will be season-ending for Michael."

Harbaugh would not speculate when Crabtree might return to play." Fr. LINK

Now they just need Justin Smith to get arrested in Houston, Patrick Willis to break his leg, Vernon Davis to injure his leg, 2 or 3 linemen to IR, Gore, Hunter, and James to IR or severely limited, and a handful of other severe hamstring injuries.

Then they'd be in Packers territory.

You know the song:

'One thing leads to another'.

I'll bet that with his new found relationship with Jim Harbaugh and the San Fran 49ers (see April's draft).

Ted Thompson went to the local drugstore for a get well card for Michael Crabtree. To be posted ASAP.

And they have to hire Slocum after we fire him.

Or have a whole offseason to scheme for a sophmore slumping Kapernick.

[Pugger]

Yes, after all the injury issues we've had the past few years the 9ers will get no sympathy from us!

Ah yes, the dreaded Led Zeppelin gratuitous sausage poster.

The four symbols representing the four members of the English Rock Band Led Zeppelin:



Those symbols L-R representing:

guitarist Jimmy Page (** 3rd Fr. LHS in your photo), bassist and keyboard player John Paul Jones (** LHS) , drummer John Bonham (** 2nd Fr. LHS) and Singer Robert Plant ( ** RHS).

Led Zeppelin....wonderful ! Thanks for a decent 'Rock Song' by an amazing band.

They are young in that pic. What year was that taken?

It's in the early 1970's because their standing in front of their travel jet airliner 'the Starship'?

In 1971 while working at A.E.C.L. Power Projects (The Canadian Nuclear Research and Design Complex) in Mississauga, Ontario. I traveled into Toronto and visited 'Sam The Record Man' on Yonge Street. I bought five vinyl disks that day.

Three of those were:

1.) 'John Barleycorn Must Die' by TRAFFIC

2.) 'POCO' (the Second Album) by the Southern California country rock band named POCO

3.) Neil Young's 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere'

and the 4th and 5th album purchases :

Led Zeppelin albums II and III.

That was a good day and music for me.

I was born in 1982 so this stuff was before me, but I have to say Traffic is a great band.

You are making me feel ancient. I got married in 82...

You are making me feel even "ancienter"! I won't mention how long I already had been married in '82!

Even tho I'm a lady I'll admit I'm knocking on 60. Your post makes me recall what my father used to say to us = "I have ties older than you!"

[Guiness]

Wow, that bit of charmed life SF enjoyed last year is long gone.

Staley just got his knee scoped.

From TFA

The defending NFC Champions have seen defensive end Justin Smith, linebacker Aldon Smith, guard Mike Iupati and wide receiver Michael Crabtree visit the operating room since their Super Bowl loss to the Ravens.

I'm sure that's more injuries then they had all of last year, and TC hasn't even started. We'll soon find out if Jim H is a genius or just had an incredible run of dumb luck last year.
