Apparently he hurt his shoulder moving personal items due to the Southern California wildfires. This after hurting himself playing too much Guitar Hero. What's with the freak accidents? Looks like Todd Jones will stay the closer in Detroit after all.

Explanation

Zumaya was in a rush to get out, and awkwardly grabbed his PS3 and brand new copy of GHIII....

Jay Bruce can DISAPPEAR

I sympathize with Joel...

I just got GH3 and my left arm is stiff as hell from playing too much.

first time

I played guitar hero for the first time this weekend - I wasn't impressed.

There was some good music, but eh.

I especially didn't like how the game is completely prejudiced against lefties. I was forced to play right handed because the game doesn't allow you (or the people I was playing with didn't know how) to change the settings and let me flip the guitar over without everything being backwards.

Must of

been trying to do a windmaill power chord ala Townshend

You realize that prospect lists have a time horizon of like 5-10 years, not 5-10 days, right?

let's take it easy on joel

it's not like he was goofing around with a video game this time.........i think given the situation he can be excused for over doing it......not much tact being shown here

i would be shocked if the tigers go into 2008 with jones as their closer.......there are better options out their.........a couple corderos are available and either would be a great fit

well if you want one Cordero

you would have to trade Miller or Maybin for him and the other one is going to cost 10 million a year and wants 4 or 5 years.

Huh?

I don't think the Tigers would trade Maybin for both Corderos. It won't take much to Chad who is pretty average as far as closers go. Francisco will be staying in Milwaukee.
