If He Didn't have Bad Luck...
Shawn Estes's comeback got short circuited:
Former Giants pitcher Shawn Estes has to feel cursed. After working for more than two years to rebound from a Tommy John elbow reconstruction, and triumphantly earning his 100th career victory May 13 for the Padres, Estes tripped on the stairs between the visiting clubhouse and dugout at China Basin on Friday night and fractured the thumb on his pitching hand.
Estes landed on the disabled list again with no timetable for his return. Doctors said it was too soon to tell if he would need surgery to insert a pin.
"I kind of feel I'm going to wake up at some point and say, 'That was a pretty realistic dream,' " said Estes, his badly swollen left thumb in a splint. "I've been through a lot the last couple of years. I'm very disappointed, borderline depressed. I'll have to stay as far away from the Golden Gate (Bridge) as I can for the next couple of days."
Let's hope he was just kidding on that last statement.
