June 8, 200619 yr Comcast reported that Nelson is to have surgery and is out for the rest of the season.
June 8, 200619 yr Well so much for the thinking that Nelson was going to majorly help our pen about a month back when we had the likes of Logan up here. Montero's outing tonight gave me a little bit of hope. He'll need to cut down on the extra base hits and HR's, but at least the guy throws strikes. Gotta feel for Nelson though.
June 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 11:17 PM) Will Nelson get a World Series ring when we win it? If Kevin Walker got a ring last year ... I'm sure Nelson will get one.
June 8, 200619 yr Didn't forsee surgery, but knew from the moment reports surfaced of his velocity he was meat. If only I had the search feature available. There were numerous people giving myself and others flack for doubting his ability.
June 8, 200619 yr Not surprising at all....and after hearing his comments today on Grimsley, I'm glad he won't be playing in our uniform anymore.

June 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 12:07 AM) I just plain never liked his mustache. Go handlebar or go home. Indeed, the cheese mustache just has never got it done for Jeff.
June 8, 200619 yr wow, this is the same thing that crossed through my mind when reading the title. weird Great minds think alike, SnB.
June 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 12:33 AM) What did he say about Grimsley? Basically that what Grimsley did (ratting out his fellow ballplayers) was wrong simply because you're supposed to look out for the other players in the league. Which is just a stupid comment to make. Instead of taking the oppertunity to rip Grimsley for using and distributing HGH he goes ahead and rips him for ratting out other cheating pricks.
June 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) Nelson is done for his career, and rightly so. And what a hellova career he had.
June 8, 200619 yr Somewhere Jabroni is crying. So, what was your favorite moment of the Jeff Nelson era? His stay here is almost as memorable as the immortal Jose Paniagua's stint a few years back.

June 8, 200619 yr QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 11:41 PM) i.e. the rest of his career... thats too bad. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2474991

June 8, 200619 yr Yep, he sure is finished. I heard during the game that Nelson told Ed Farmer that he's going to hang 'em up if he's has to have surgery. The 4 appearances were memorable and will lodged in my brain forever....
