San Francisco Giants pitcher Randy Johnson left yesterday’s game against the Houston Astros in the fourth inning because of an apparent arm injury. He will be 46 in September and this one looked ominous.Folks, this very well could be the last you have seen of the Big Guy. Start the 5 year waiting period?
"It was very scary,'' catcher Bengie Molina said. "He usually throws 89, 90, 91 (mph), and all of the sudden you see this guy throwing 82. We just hope and pray nothing happened to him seriously and he's OK."The Giants who are smack in the middle of a play-off run, now await the results of Randy Johnson’s MRI.
The Giants will likely move Jonathan Sanchez back into the rotation. If Johnson has to skip a start and the Giants prefer to keep Sanchez in the bullpen, another possible option is Joe Martinez. The rookie right-hander, who suffered a fractured skull in the second game of the season, had two scoreless appearances over 71/3 innings with the San Jose Giants and was scheduled to start Sunday night for Triple-A Fresno. – Gregory Shapiro
