Ouch, that hurts. Just saw he original article and Ladson's info. Thanks for the tip.

They think it's bone chips in the elbow. Ouch!

That's what happens when you call on a guy 73 times in one season. Absolutely inexcusable. Poor use of a relief pitcher.

Let's go Nationals!

Just saw this line from the erstwhile Mr. Ladson:

"Manager Davey Johnson wasn't optimistic about when the team would see Storen on the mound again. The skipper even hinted that Storen may have a bone ship in the elbow."

This is the first time I've heard of this condition... I hope it's a dinghy and not an oceanliner...

Let's hope this "bone ship" isn't just the tip of the iceberg. If it's an injury of titanic proportions, we're sunk.

Usually athletes who go to visit Dr. Andrews are ship out of luck..

This condition could do wonders for your sinker pitch...

I think you guys are missing the boat on this, he won't be back for awhile so lets hope HRod can be consistent.

When it was first mentioned Storen was eventually going to be the closer Boswell wrote an article about what happens to pitchers under 25 years-old who become closers. He went over a bunch of them and as I remember they all had arm problems. I think he talked about Chad and Olsen from the orioles and a bunch of others.
Since then I've been waiting for this to happen.

The Nats curse
