Pettitte's elbow
« on: September 13, 2006, 04:07:49 pm »
Lucas said a few minutes ago that it's a muscle strain, not the ligament he had repaired in '04.

No idea what this portends for the rest of this year, but it's definitely good news regarding his potential return next season.

Indeed - a potentially devastating blow that's been ignored in the general post-game meltdown.  Thank goodness.

Muscle strains for pitchers hurt like hell!  Even bush leaguers like me who threw in denial leagues hated to have the muscles in the forearm to elbow area tighten up.  You don't even think about throwing a baseball when the forearm/elbow starts to hurt like that.

And this was my issue last night.  Andy was CLEARLY grimacing, even before the lollipop to PW.  Ausmus should have been out there telling Rex to follow him.
