Peavy's Fractured Ribs
This is very bad news for the Padres playoff hopes. Jake Peavy broke two ribs during today's game.
Initial X-rays were negative, but the Padres sent Peavy to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis for an MRI, which revealed the fractured rib. A team spokesman said Peavy might have also broken his ninth rib, and that additional tests were being done.
Padres manager Bruce Bochy said the team didn't know when Peavy suffered the injury.
He could break them twisting on a play, or even coughing. Even if the Padres manage to get by St. Louis, I don't give them much chance of going past that without their ace.
Update: The Fox pre-game show just reported that Peavy broke his rib in the Padres celebration after they clinched. Those player piles are funny until someone loses the opening game of the LDS. :-)

Having lost today and lost Peavy, I'd say San Diego is done (as if they weren't before the series began :)
Fox is reporting that Peavy broke them during the NLWest celebration. Baseball always has the dumbest and weirdest injuries.
Almost as wierd as Sammy Sosa injuring his back by sneezing! Heh.
