I just hope he is able to have a more successful return to the mound than ex-Brewer Bryce Florie when something similar happened to him (while with the Red Sox, if memory serves).

The park got dead quiet--I even took off my rally cap after that, I felt like a clown My 2009 Milwaukee Brewers: "No meat...no meat"

As bad as the injury is, I was dreading waking up this morning and reading that he had either died, or was in critical condition. I really thought he sustained a life threatening injury last night. At this point, his baseball career is a minor concern compared to his overall health. Hopefully he can recover in the hospital and then worry about rehabbing after his release. We all hope you have a speedy recovery, Joe! There are no Cubs fans, there are only Cubs apologists.

I really thought he sustained a life threatening injury last night. I'll admit to thinking in the wake of that play Thursday night, "No! MLB already lost one player today." So yeah, Friday's update was quite a relief. Go, you Milwaukee Brewers. Make September 28, 2008 a day to remember forever. Just like the last day in Baltimore in '82. Game 5 of the ALCS, with Coop's hit, and Ladd's save. Just like Game 5 of the World Series, when we had a 3-2 lead heading back to Busch. Put this day, 9/28, in the history books, the media guides, the newspapers, and most of all, in the hearts and minds of all us fans who have cheered for you all these years. - jflick1215, late on September 27, 2008

He wasn't spectacular but that Whiteside GS gave him what I like to call the Looper-Advantage. My 2009 Milwaukee Brewers: "It's what he does."
