PANIC TIME! Putz Has "Tender" or "Tight" Elbow

dickel.jpgThe Everett Herald calls it "a tender right elbow," the Seattle Times calls it "tightness in right elbow," we call it "our summer might be ruined." J.J. Putz, the Mariners' closer, the anchor of the bullpen now that Guardado and Soriano are gone, is having a problem with his right elbow, which isn't really a big deal EXCEPT THAT HE THROWS WITH HIS RIGHT ARM.

Flashbacks to '97. Someone get us a goddamn drink.

UPDATE: Chris Reitsma? Our "8th-inning guy"? (So, presumably the closer should Putz go down)? Just allowed a tying home run to a AA Rockies catcher named Alvin Colina. AAAAHHH! PANNNIC!!!

UPDATE: He just gave up a go-ahead homer to Ian Stewart, another AA guy.
