Well, I needed this, anyway. I spent six hours today in the local emergency room, being tended to for a broken foot that resulted from my ill-advised participation in a volleyball game with friends late yesterday afternoon. Pro tip: volleyball is a young person’s game. Anyway.
Even before my fun interactions with the medical profession, I was kind of dreading this one. I really knew nothing about DIamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly beyond snippets of his bio and the truly uninspiring numbers he put up in spring training, but I had watched the first four games of the season, and our starting pitching has been, in a word, terrible.
