August 15, 200718 yr Rangers placed RHP Brandon McCarthy on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 11, with a stress fracture in his right shoulder blade. Uh oh. There was no sign this was coming, and with a 3.18 ERA in six starts since the break, McCarthy had been pretty effective lately. The Rangers have yet to elaborate on the injury, but it's hard to imagine McCarthy pitching again this year. This could turn into a major long-term issue for him. John Rheinecker will start in his place on Thursday.
August 15, 200718 yr yikes! hopefully it doesn't end up being as serious as it sounds. good luck, bmac.
August 16, 200718 yr KW slides another one past. Trust me, I have no intention of giving KW any bit of credit for this piece of chit lackluster season.... But for whatever reason, he just knows when to say when.
August 16, 200718 yr After an awful start, BMac's had a nice run going. I'll always be a Manhands fan.

August 19, 200718 yr Damn. I am still rooting for Brandon to do well. This just sucks. Hopefully he can bounce back in 08.
