southsider2k5 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Interesting... I wonder if we even call up another pitcher with interleague play around the corner, or if they do go for another reliever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 or it could be they are making up the injury to get his head out of his ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sean Tracey come on down (or so I hope) but it could be Farnsworth or Javier Lopez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POPPY_HIDALGO Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 My thoughts are with Politte and his family as they try their best to deal with this problem. I hope all goes well and he can begin living a normal healthy life soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
