So it turns out that the start in which I saw Vincente Padilla get shelled in Baltimore was... the last one he made before going on the disabled list. Funny how that works out, isn't it?

Is it a sign that I'm becoming old and cynical that I see these injuries as being remarkably timed to ineffective work, since Ow My Arm plays a lot better to an established player than Go The Hell To The Minors, You Stink?

Of course, when you disable the pitcher, you do get to avoid the Jeff Francoeur Betrayal Quote... and you also get to make everyone wonder why Dontrelle Willis had to go to the minors first, then get the tendinitis treatment on his knee.
