Poor Jorge Campillo

What luck. Major league starting debut for the M's, and gets a sore elbow in the first inning!

Nice win for the M's, and it was also nice to actually care about the game, but I just can't believe the odds of this happening. Sure he complained of elbow problems earlier this season, so it's not like it's totally out of the blue, but still...

If Jorge is truly out for an extended period, who's going to take his spot? Livingston? no. Perhaps Clint ie. Mr. Sweat Boy will be called up. But that seems unlikely too, since he is really a reliever until he figures out a third pitch. It will be interesting to see what happens. It does seem to increase the likelihood of Franklin coming back in and pitching the rest of the season. The M's will need bodies, and it seems unlikely Bavasi will use the steroids issue to get rid of him for now.

Well we finally get to hear King Felix take the mound tomorrow. Let's hope he makes it past the first inning.
