Injury Report Translations (a random nonsense thread)...

The Milwaukee Brewers have shut down struggling right-handed reliever Eric Gagne with what the pitcher and the team described as tightness and inflammation in his right shoulder, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday.

So apparently " tightness and inflammation in his right shoulder" = "suck."

Q: "So, how do you feel about the humanitarian crisis in Darfur?"

A: "I think it has tightness and inflammation in its right shoulder!"

Q: "Did you know that gas cost $ 4.00 per gallon in the Los Angeles area?"

A: "No way! That sure tightens and inflames the ol' right shoulder."

Q: "How 'bout them Yankees?"

A: "As a team, they have the tightest and most inflamed right shoulders of any shoulders which have ever been tight and inflamed."

On the subject

Bartolo Colon had tightness and inflammation in his right shoulder in 2006-07. Considering his performance, suck would be an appropriate translation for it as well.

‘Inflammation’ is a much more colorful word than suck. Specifically it’s red and orange, with streaks of blue near the center.
