Pat Neshek was bracing for bad news about his right elbow, and that’s what he got. The Minnesota Twins placed their right-handed setup man on the 15-day disabled list Friday, after an MRI test revealed an acute partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in the sidearmer’s elbow.
Neshek will not be allowed to throw for a minimum of three months, which means the injury has effectively ended his season. The ulnar collateral ligament is the same ligament that pitchers have repaired when they undergo Tommy John replacement surgery.

Pat Neshek is the object of my one and only baseball man-crush. He went to my highschool, albeit a few years behind me. And I can't think of a single pitcher whose delivery and mound presence is more entertaining. He's also a vegan (like me), and I fear this and Prince Fielder's slow start will give herbivores a bad rap.
However, I just saw Neshek's picture on his Wikipedia entry, and his arm looks like it is about to snap.
If it's any consolation, vegans already have a bad rap as far as I'm concerned.
Most teenage girls grow out of that phase.
That sounds familiar, thanks.
