We're Sad Jake Peavy Can't Flex


Peavy can't even comfortably open doors anymore.As expected, San Diego Padres hurler Jake Peavy has landed on the 15-day disabled list with swelling and a strained muscle in his pitching elbow.

An MRI on the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner showed no ligament damage, so reconstructive surgery shouldn't be necessary if the joint is properly rehabbed. Peavy said he had been bothered by elbow soreness not only in his past few starts, but in everyday life situations like opening contact lens solution and turning doorknobs.

Generally, when you can't turn a doorknob, you're going to have some trouble throwing a good slider.

I love this blog!

Nice banner artwork, great features on the countdowns and what's better in life than girls bloggin about baseball?

As a Braves blogger, it's nice to see Chipper's countdown on there. Maybe we can sneak a little "Chasing .400" column too? Ha ha!

Anyways, glad I found it and I'll be checking in to see how you're keeping up with the world of the greatest sport in the world.

The Cards were fortunate they didn't have to face Peavy last night. As if the Padres needed any more bad news.
