Mariners lose the game, but come out ahead in the long run on that deal.

Last season was "that kind of season." This season is just crappy baseball coupled with freak injury. (Hunter also took a shot to his hand this games as well.)
Good news - Howie Kendrick hit a three run shot in the bottom of the 9th today to beat the Mariners (sorry JJD) and DIDN'T break his leg during the celebration.
Rumor is Morales could be back this season, but not until September at the earliest. I hope this - if nothing else - forces some other folks to step up.

The same thing happened a few years ago to a Padre minor leaguer. Tagg Bozeid hit a walk-off homer in AA then blew his knee out in the celebration at the plate. It ended his season, and he never reached the majors.
