Son of a Bitch

With a season full of extremely lofty expectations, this is not what the Twins needed:

"Closer Joe Nathan and the Twins were hit with the news this morning that he has a significant tear if the Ulnar Collateral Ligament in his right elbow, a potentially devastating blow to a team looking to make an extended postseason run."

Nathan's injury and probable absence does not mean the Twins 2010 chances go out the window. It does make the team's largest question mark, the bullpen, even more of a liability with the regular season just a month away.
