Ponson injured...not serious

Ponson injured:

MIAMI -- Cardinals starter Sidney Ponson, who left Sunday's game against the Marlins after three innings because of right elbow discomfort, will be examined by the team's orthopedist, Dr. George Paletta, in St. Louis on Monday.

Ponson shrugged off the injury after the Cardinals' 9-1 victory.
"We'll see the doctor," he said, "but right now I'm looking forward to making my next start on Saturday."
Ponson's sentiment was relayed to manager Tony La Russa, but he wasn't so sure. "I'll be more excited if Dr. Paletta tells me there's nothing to worry about," he said. "If you've got an elbow that barks, it's something we're concerned about."

Well I have to hope that he can come back. The injury bug has claimed itself on the NL Central this year that is for sure.

His real diagnosis was a sprained chocolate covered donut.

No, the true diagnosis was a strained whiskey bottle.

Ponson has pitched well this year along side Carpenter. The other Cardinal pitchers have struggled. Hopefully he will miss one start.

Yeah, I am surprised at how well he has made a comeback. I remember hearing that he had cleaned up his act and everything as well. So I have to root for this guy at times. Chalk it up for another "DL Central" casualty.
