Posted August 28, 200321 yr No wonder he was struggling.... from the sun-sen After the game, the Marlins announced left-hander Armando Almanza would undergo season-ending arthroscopic elbow surgery today to remove a bone spur. Dr. James Andrews, who examined Almanza on Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala., will perform the operation. The Marlins placed Almanza on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Aug. 20 with shoulder and elbow soreness.
August 28, 200321 yr If the surgery is a success, Almanza can be a staple of our bullpen next season like we've always hoped. GL AA.
August 28, 200321 yr He probably developed the elbow problem from repeatedly throwing cheesburgers down his fat pie hole. Waste of skin, goodbye!
August 28, 200321 yr hooo boy, knew that was coming. thank goodness, because he's had so much to do with the marlins slump....
August 28, 200321 yr lol, yah I know. We need to worry about other things....like scoring enough runs to actually put pressure on the bullpen.
August 28, 200321 yr Yes! Hopefuly he can get it all together in Spring Training. Maybe thats why he was pitching bad, because of the elbow.
August 28, 200321 yr Is James Andrews the only arm doc out there? Anytime any pitcher in the bigs gets hurt, he's the man to call. What a stud.
August 28, 200321 yr not only arms...he's the top orthopedic surgeon in the country I believe. Didn't Willis McGahee go there? As did Robert Edwards? I know he works on blown out knees as well.
August 28, 200321 yr Yes! Hopefuly he can get it all together in Spring Training. Maybe thats why he was pitching bad, because of the elbow. Yeah, maybe it was b/c of the elbow. Or then again, maybe it was because he sucked, hard to tell. Oh well, how much can you expect from a guy who shares pitching tips with Vlad Nunez? Someone call Bobby V. and ask him where his 2nd best bully southpaw has been for the last two months.
August 28, 200321 yr lol, make that the ONLY lefthanded reliever Ranchod. at least until Tommy Phelps comes back in September.

August 28, 200321 yr Is James Andrews the only arm doc out there? Anytime any pitcher in the bigs gets hurt, he's the man to call. What a stud. Everyone goes to him because they can trust him. He has had alot of experience at this. So they go with him...
