Ouch...seriously


Yesterday I wrote that Jesse Crain's injury wasn't a big deal.
That was before the news came down that Crain likely has a torn labrum and torn rotator cuff.

If this turns out to be true (he's going for a second opinion), he's not only done for the year, but his career could be in jeopardy.

This is serious stuff.

And it begs the question - again.
What the hell is the Twins training staff doing?
They don't prevent injuries, we know that.
And now this. It's not like Crain kept it a secret from them. He was shut down for over a week in April.
So we know the trainers were working with him. And they apparently overlooked the fact that he was tearing his shoulder off.
If I were Ron Gardenhire and Terry Ryan, I'd be furious.

*A tough outing for Carlos Silva, but 5 runs over 6 isn't even that bad for a Twins pitcher against Cleveland.
Our worst fears from spring training - that there would be little to no pitching after Johan Santana, are coming true.
This has the feeling of a long and ugly season.

Silva's best days this season are already behind him.
The beginning of the end is nigh.

Why do you keep bashing on the trainers?
It's not their fault the team has a bunch of pussies.

What have they done to earn their paychecks?
Prevention and treatment is supposed to be their job, right?
Are they doing it?
I don't think so.

Mauer might be a pussy.
And RonDL.
But Morneau is not.
He plays hockey.

Another loss, 2-0.
This is a joke.
At least Johan pitched good - 11 Ks.

Morneau might punch your mom in the face.
