New Closer Andrew Bailey Suffers Lat Injury

Snitches, beer, chicken, PR ploys, the NOG's preoccupation with soccer and jalopies—and now an injury to our new closer. Welcome to Happy Camp jetBlue! It was revealed today that Andrew Bailey suffered a strained lat muscle while "vaulting for the vertical leap". And, why exactly are closers looking to extend their vertical leap? To snag high-hoppers over the mound, I guess. Of course, the spin machine calls the injury "not serious". No doubt the crack medical team of Howard, Fine & Howard will be all over this like a misdiagnosed cracked rib.
