Plenty of hard-throwing pitchers have returned to action and have had successful careers after injuries. OK, perhaps not that many but Detroit local (Catholic Central) Frank Tanana immediatley comes to mind as a classic hurler turned pitcher. He had 100+ fastball in the early-to-late '70s that was unhittable but was forced to become a pitcher after having arm and shoulder problems. Heck, even Jim Palmer, who was never known for his fastball, was a successful "junk ball" pitcher the 2nd half of his Hall of Fame career.

They just said that Zumaya will be out 4 months, seeing thats more than whats left in the year, yup, we'll see him next year.
Basically he broke the bone at the end of his elbow.

I understand how he feels and have empathy for the guy...but I honestly have no sympathy. Life is not fair and most people are not gifted with an arm to throw a 100 mph fastball nor do they receive a 915K paycheck to sit out the season. Hopefully he will use this time wisely and work on his education during rehab.
Lots of balls being hit to the warning track or wall this evening. Unfortunatley, a lot more of them are being hit by Minnesota. Of course, Iceberg is probably grinning from ear-to-ear right now. 
Hey Tom
Hope Detroit didnt mess up the place......cuz it looks like they're being evicted from 1st place tonight

you're right....Span probably has 2 more at bats to drive in some more runs
Maybe by then Ordonez will learn not to run all the way to the wall when playing a ball off RF wall. This aint the Dome

Too bad you couldn't watch your team WIN in person.

Ya, I noticed that Ordonez played the hits very poorly tonight.
yep an afternoon game
And FSN North is carrying it too
Will you be here for tomorrows game ?
Anyone watch the Tigers pre-game yesterday? Had a segment with Twins RF about how difficult it is to play right field at Target because of the weird positioning and multiple materials used in the wall. Maggs isn't used to it yet.
