Joel Zumaya's injury is one of those injuries I never want to see again. This morning, I saw the highlight (lowlight if you are Zumaya) of the Tigers pitcher throwing a pitch and then grabbing his right elbow in severe pain. I mean really severe pain. It was painful for me to watch.
When Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann had his legged snapped in half years ago by Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, I saw the replay. Once. That was it. I can't watch it or my stomach will turn.
While Zumaya's injury wasn't as bad as Theismann's, it was so nasty that I won't watch it again.
You have to feel for Zumaya. He throws in the upper 90's and obviously it puts a lot of strain on the elbow. He's overcome injuries to his arm before (mainly shoulder problems) so hopefully he can come back full strength sometime in the future. But, judging from last night, I would bet that we won't see him for a long time. It's a shame.
