Zumaya's elbow explodes. :(
Poor guy. Hopefully he will be able to come back from this. For how hard some of these guys throw, this is just a reminder of how unnatural throwing a baseball can be for a human arm.

Weird.. The official word is that they’re not doing an MRI until tomorrow (Tuesday)? No word on the outlook yet. Wishing him all the best, of course.

This wasn't gruesome like the Joe Theismann incident
But it was still gut wrenching.

Well, just read from the Free Press that he was pain free when he left the club house, with teammates saying he’ll make it back from injury
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
one wonders how much drugs they had to give him for him to be “pain free”… cuz it sure seemed like he was in a lot of pain in that video

As I Laker fan, I have to say that this is one of my least favorite moments ever. What an absolute joke.
Sometimes, there's a man...well, he's the man for his time and place.
that was bizarre

Ouch, that looked bad. The way his hand was trembling was no good.
I feel prickishly demanding!
I couldn't be prouder of my recent adoptee - Tim Lincecum's dealer. He provides the secret fuel behind both Cy Youngs. Also, he taught Timmy the change-up.

He was all WTF, did I hit him the ball?

I laughed too
But then I did the same face when I saw Zumaya shaking.

That must be a violent delivery if it can break his elbow. Given that this is like the 5th time he’s gone down with an injury, you’d think they’d consider adjusting his mechanics.
The very bad man who traded my first son non-tendered my replacement son. F*ck you Brian Sabean. Leave my children alone.
He might not be a very good pitcher if he did
And it would probably take him a while to change his mechanics to the point where he could pitch accurately again

Well one of his elbow injuries (I think the first one actually) occurred during the San Diego fires a few years ago.
I thought that was the shoulder injury
And then some Detroit journalist got on him because OH NOES HE DIDN’T PROTECT HIS ARM, WHO CARES IF HE WAS TRYING TO HELP SALVAGE HIS PARENTS’ STUFF.

Wow. He's pretty lucky.
“It felt like my elbow exploded,” the Detroit Tigers reliever said on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the frightening scene in the eighth inning of a 7-5 win over the Minnesota Twins. “It was like someone took a hammer and shattered my elbow.”
An MRI exam on Tuesday revealed a fractured right elbow, a diagnosis the team called “the best bad news you can get.” The hard thrower will miss the rest of this season, but there was no ligament damage to his elbow so they are optimistic he could return to the mound next season.
