The Washington Nationals reported that rookie phenom Stephen Starsburg will most likely undergo Tommy John surgery after he gets a second opinion to confirm the dreaded news. He will miss all of next season and hope to return by 2012.
Now even though Strasburg was about to start dominating the shit out of the METS for the next five years before he signs with the YANKEES as a free agent I was absolutely fucking pumped to see this guy get out there and pump a 101 mph fastball and drop a 90 mph curveball. I mean this kid lit the league up in his first 3 months as a big leaguer and still will have that shot. But this is a crushing blow to a franchise who for a really long time were irrelevant but were on the rise with the two biggest selections in recent years in Strasburg and this year's number one pick Bryce Harper.
I thought shit this bad only happens to METS fans like myself, I guess when you are formerly the Montreal Expos the curse of you being a shitty franchise will follow you no matter where you move.
