Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Any Worse...


Just came across the following tonight:

Hamels (14-5, 3.50 ERA) will have an MRI exam and skip his scheduled start Wednesday against Los Angeles after complaining of persistent soreness in his left elbow. Hamels could miss up to three weeks depending on the results, team doctor Michael Ciccotti said Tuesday night.
What does this city have to do to receive some good luck on the injury front? Philadelphia has given this country Liberty, Freedom, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, not to mention cheesesteaks, American Bandstand, Kelly Rippa and Kelly Monaco....Taking these things into account, is it too much ask for at least one f'n injury free season by one of our sports teams?

Apparently someone disagrees because injuries have derailed every single contending team in recent memory. I thought the week where we saw Chase Utley, Shane Victorino, Michael Bourn and LJ Smith go down in one was the tipping point, but I suppose I was wrong.

If its his elbow that hurts, why is the ice pack on his shoulder?
