karen lotz;1287236 wrote:He's had nagging injuries all year. For the last 3 or so months (maybe longer, I'm not sure when it started bothering him), he's had something going on in his shoulder where it hurts him to swing. He's had a couple of cortisone shots but I don't think there is anything else that can be done besides time off.


edit: quick search says its a frayed labrum and cyst in his right shoulder. First cortisone shot was August 7, second one September 1.

He's been bad all year though so I'm not sure if the shoulder can take all of the blame. He's also put on about 20 pounds from last year it seems and would lose a foot race to Eric Hinske by a lot.

Nats win a close, typical small ball, NL game.

O's and Yanks in a rain delay. It is pretty gross here, no sure when they will have first pitch.

Although, since TNT is just showing reruns of Law and Order, they may start the Reds there.

But yes, they did move the Reds to TNT to avoid having to touch the almighty Yankees.
