Fireballs Pat Kirk Will Miss Season Tuesday, August 29th, 2034 Joplin reliever Pat Kirk could miss the remainder of the season because of a stretched elbow ligament. He exited yesterday's Detroit game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Kirk would be out 11 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that." So far this year Kirk has been credited with no saves, registered a 2.17 ERA and struck out 56 in 78.2 innings. He also has a 5-2 record. |
