news199/ *BREAKING NEWS* Jimmy Cardriver out for the season! [08.20.04]fri.[10:53pm]
Good thing Jimmy Cardriver is a car driver because he's going to have to drive home for the season, thats right, out for the season with a shattered right kneee cap! Shocking news but true, the future star of this industry for pitchers in out for the season, he is placed on the 60 day DL with a shattered right knee cap and it all started in the lst inning against the A's in his Padre debut after being traded for the Braves late last month. The first pitch to Coral Ianez of the A's hit a liner and took out Jimmy's knee and he went crashing to the ground. Bad news for the Padres as Jimmy will not be off the DL intil October 20th, 2004. Which means if the Padres want to make the playoffs they'll have to do it without their one of two aces. Joey Van Bobbonburg who beat the Braves this season will have to carry the team on the mound it looks like. Lets see if this new pitcher that gets called up today can fill Cardriver's shoes. Honestly if he is even half as good as Jimmy Cardriver is then he would be in the majors folks. Who knows this new guy from AAA can possibly dominate especually by having the fastest team on the bases in baseball.
