Nick Johnson out for season

Johnson: out for season

First baseman Nick Johnson will miss the rest of the season, the Washington Nationals confirmed today. Dr. Richard Berger of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., operated today on the Nationals’ clean-up hitter and repaired a small split tear in a ligament on the ulnar side of his wrist.

A team announcement about the procedure said that Johnson is expected to miss the remainder of the 2008 season.

I’ll get more reaction on this news once I head down to the clubhouse in a few minutes.

Move along... nothing to look at here... no rubbernecking, please.

I didn't see this one if it had already been posted, but I apologize. I only saw the one where he was going to have it examined, not the confirmation that he was indeed done for the season.

You must be new. "Already been posted" is a pretty common response to really predictable injury reports (Johnson, Prior, Pavano).

HOLY ####!!!

8. flournoy Posted: June 24, 2008 at 11:44 PM (#2831292)

Yeah, sorry about that. Post #1 was in jest.

In other news, the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

My fantasy team is screwed.

Still sucks for the guy...

On the one hand, I really like Nick and I hope he can stay healthy and show everyone what he can do one of these years.

On the other hand, I traded him for Jeremy Hermida two weeks ago.

Also, Shawn Hill will now head to the Mayo clinic after struggling through three innings last night.

I'm beginning to believe the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt is cursing this team until his character is allowed to win the presidents' race. Come on, Stan.

This is bad, but when I hear the words Nick Johnson and wrist injury, I picture a guy at a Renaissance fair dressed like Henry VIII carrying a giant turkey leg with him everywhere.
