Congrats on the 9k post, only a 1000 away from 10k!

and the highest form of loserism

Not surprising

 

Twins are stupid for even trying to pitch him again. It's not worth ruining him forever, which I'm guessing after today he is done for the season.

 

Hopefully he didn't tear anything.

 

Yea this was a dumb move.

 

As much as I hate to say it, this team is probably a playoff team without Liriano.

 

But Liriano was a dumbass too. Pitching with pain and trying to be the hero is a huge no-no. He got lucky, he really could have sustained a huge injury.

lol I should be to 10k with in a year, so don't feel too bad.

ESPN is talking about Tommy John surgery already.

 

"Obviously he won't be pitching again," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Something is in there bothering and continuing to stop him. ... Obviously when he gets in game and puts a little extra torque in there, something is not right. We have to make sure we stop it and do what we have to do."

...

 

"The last two pitches I threw, I felt a pop and it really hurts," Liriano said.

 

...

He had an MRI exam after the game, and thoughts immediately turned to Tommy John surgery, a ligament-replacement procedure that typically keeps pitchers out for more than a year.

 

Minneosta had anxiously awaited Francisco Liriano's return to the rotation after a month on the DL. But the excitement didn't last long as Liriano left his first game back with elbow pain. What does Liriano's absence mean for the postseason hopes of the Twins, who entered Wednesday's game 1½ games behind the Tigers in the AL Central and 2½ games up on the White Sox in the wild-card race? Just look at Liriano's numbers at the time he hit the DL in August.

 

Liriano said he has was waiting to hear from team doctors about the next move.

 

"I don't even want to think about that," Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson said when asked about Tommy John surgery.

That sucks.

I don't care about the playoff implications, that kid is an excellent pitcher and I'd hate to see him go the Kerry Wood route.

As much as I would like to say the politically correct thing, it's sad a great talent, blah blah blah. I really don't care. When I saw that on ESPN, I said YEAH! I hope he returns next season and wins 30, for a NL team.

*obligatory flash* Q: where is our liriano post?

A: Not on the DL

 

i kid, i like flashes insight amongst others on sox talk.

Yup. I might be an asshole because of that but oh well, that's exactly how I felt.

were in a playoff race here....If I were a Royals fan I would think this was a horrible thing for such a great young pitcher, but then again I am a Sox fan, and when i first herd it I smiled a gave a fist pump......

Yup. I might be an asshole because of that but oh well, that's exactly how I felt.

 

 

I figure I'm already on long black train to hell . . .

Liriano is a stud but he's going to have injury problems throughout his career.

 

I so called it.

 

I hope I'm wrong though, I love watching him pitch, but whatever helps us now and the future.
