These Jays Are Shot

The Toronto Globe and Mail reports that Vernon Wells has suffered a Grade 2 strain of his left hamstring and will be out 4-6 weeks.
Wells left Wednesday's game after attempting to steal third base, and didn't come back out for the next inning. The Blue Jays originally said the injury was leg cramps, but clearly that's not the case. Alex Rios is in centerfield with Brad Wilkerson in right on Thursday night, but the Globe and Mail suggests that Toronto could promote Travis Snider from Triple-A, where he's hitting .286 with 13 homers.

The Blue Jays' official website reports that Dustin McGowan will likely avoid surgery on his ailing right shoulder.
It's huge news for the 26-year-old, as team doctors determined that McGowan's shoulder hasn't suffered any additional damage compared to an MRI performed late last season. He is expected to get a second opinion next week, but for now it seems like he's only dealing with inflammation in the arm.

Poor Blue Jays. Vernon Wells hasn't done squat since signing that big contract a couple of years ago. He has been constantly hurt it seems. That Snider kid has some good numbers so maybe getting him some experience will pay off.

Good news on McGowan but he is still going to miss a month or so. Jays should take it really slow and easy.

Vernon and McGowan are probably useless the rest of the season, Burnett is about to get dealt and J.P. Ricciardi still has his job. Can't get much worse.

"Matt Stairs has suddenly retired"

As long as Gaston is on the bench I'm happy. Burnett can bring in some nice pieces. Someone could use Scott Rolen.

JP will drop the ball on Burnett and either keep him or get nothing in a trade

I would have more faith in "god" here if he ran the team. Fire JP, HiG in 08!!!!

But seriously, it seems like it's always the injury's that are getting in the way of this team. Halladay the last couple of years, and Wells as well. Maybe we need a new medical trainer now.
