yep, dis looks like a K-Mad "perfect storm" scenario

Did Myers recently become a Chixx'zez?

Brett Myers had to come out early Wednesday with a strained right
shoulder. Uh oh. The Phils are going to take plenty of heat over this one after making the in-season switch of Myers from rotation to closer. Something must have been wrong as he was getting shelled for four hits, a walk and a hit batter, but when he threw a wild pitch, he instantly clutched at his arm just above his elbow, bolting off the field into the clubhouse. Tom Gordon is out for another week or two, so expect the Phils to turn to Ryan Madson to close should Myers' injury prove serious.

Oh, yeah. Madson. Kill me now.

Phokk. This could be the first CQ serious pitching injury in 5 seasons.

Duck and cover.

I have no ongoing culpability for Myers or Madson, except for any encouragement I might have given them in seasons past.
