Randy Johnson is Old as Hell


Arizona senior-citizen lefty Randy Johnson will miss his next start Friday due to tendinitis in his forearm. However, Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin said he doesn't plan to place the veteran on the disabled list anytime soon.

After undergoing back surgery last October, the Big Unit pitched 5.2 innings in a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, allowing two runs and seven hits and striking out a season-high ten batters. He has won his last two starts.

Right-hander Edgar Gonzalez, who is 1-2 with a 4.81 ERA, is expected to sub for Johnson against the Houston Astros.

Looks like the Alzheimer's is kicking in:

Tendinitis?
Or Arthritis?
All of these OLD pitchers are likely to break a hip if they keep on...
If they can still kick ass, then stay in, like my love BRADKE's arm was falling off and he still kicked ass. And he wasn't a member of AARP....

Haha, he'd fit right in with the AZ retirement community.
