Uncle Nando, Zoomer, throw

posted in 2007 season, injuries |

Joel Zumaya and Fernando Rodney played a short game of catch Thursday. (Strange term when you think about it. Who wins catch?)

Real quote (in Det News):

Zumaya: “I’m a little pumped. I can’t get too excited. But I’m actually really excited. I slept with my glove last night. I knew I was throwing. But I didn’t really sleep at all. The glove was with me all day in the plane and all last night in the bed.”

My imagination:
Zumaya: yay catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will you play catch with me, ‘Nando?
Fernando Rodney: I dunno kid, my arm kinda hurts
Zoomer: Pweeeeeeeeas Uncle ‘Nando?
Rodney: Well, OK, but only briefly.
Zoomer: YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Zumaya, who has no clue when he’ll be back, now thinks mid-August. I still think late August. Just about a week to 10 days ago, he said September. Rodney will be back within weeks probably. Both will have rehab assignments, Danny Knobler reports.
