Erick Aybar taken to hospital for choking on a chicken bone, internet responds as you would expect

First, lets get the important stuff out of the way. During lunch on Thursday, Erick Aybar had a very real health scare, but appears to be ok.

#Braves SS Erick Aybar got a chicken bone stuck in throat at lunch, taken to doctor to be sedated and have it removed.

Based on the timing of the tweets and the general tone, it appears that Aybar will be okay for what was a very legitimate and scary thing to have happen. We wish Erick an quick and easy recovery.

In terms of baseball news, Aybar was in the lineup for the game tonight but I would put his chances at around 0% to make an appearance given that he had to be sedated to removed the obstructive poultry remnant.

Given that he is going to be okay as far as we know, its easy to make light of the situation as its a very odd injury/incident involving a player who has been among the absolute worst in major league baseball this season. The internet, in particular Twitter, knew it was its time to shine. Here are some gems from the Twitterverse.

Erick Aybar, with a chicken bone, in the throat would be the all time winner of Braves Injury Clue.

Predicting huge hot streak for Aybar, after his deboning. Add in all formats.

Some even folded in the flub where Fredi Gonzalez sorta found out about his firing

What’s worse, the chicken found out in an email. https://t.co/FBL5VEDjgp

Chicken bones & automated flight reminders. When your team is awful you find happiness in the oddest places.

While others were not so subtle digs at how bad Aybar has been this season or were just generally hilarious.

we've reached the point where I am genuinely concerned for Erick Aybar's basic motor skills https://t.co/Dgt2ya3Jg8

A chicken bone in his throat is the first thing Aybar has caught all year.

In Aybar's defense, his defense has been a little hard to swallow so far this season

Here's to you, internet. The most important thing is that Aybar is okay, but Braves Twitter did not disappoint when it came to making light of the situation. Keep being you, guys....keep being you.
