Airline glamour never promised anything as mundane as elbow room, much less a flat bed, a massage, or an arugula salad. It promised a better world.

When you're first learning how to do eyeliner, it's really hard to get both lids the same. A good tip for when you're putting it on, is to make sure your elbow is on a table. Make sure your arm's really stable. And make sure you have an eye makeup q-tip to get that really sharp line.

I wasn't really trying to get in his head.

He went to get an MRI and check it out. It could be his forearm, and it could be his elbow. We don't know. He has had that elbow reconstructed in the past, so he knows his body.

He tells us he's been bothered by this sore elbow for a couple of weeks. I wish he'd told us a couple of weeks ago.

He had great stuff. He went out there a few times and pitched very good for us. He may have had a tender elbow at times. To be honest with you, it doesn't surprise me. We knew he could pitch.

Greg is such a workhorse. On one of his rebounds tonight I saw his elbow go above the rim. That was most impressive.

It will be at least a week, with a possibility that it could be significantly longer. We're not going to go on like this, having him in and out of the lineup, thinking he's going to be able to play then not being able to go. It's too tough on everybody.

His velocity was down yesterday, but he didn't tell us anything was wrong until this morning, when he reported elbow soreness. Don't count Josh out yet. Hopefully, in a few days he'll be back with the club and this will all be over.

He's been carrying that elbow injury for a long time and he selfishly went right to the last minute to try to get himself in that team. If he wants to do another fitness test two days out from the fifth Test, I'll kick his bum because it's distracting everyone.

As soon as I passed him, he put out his elbow and pushed me off to the left hand side and I just crashed, that was the end of it. I knew nothing else that happened. I'm disappointed in Chris. He knew that we could either sweep the sprint, or he, too, could be involved in it. He didn't play a clean game. We know in every sprint, there are things that take place. But, this beats all. He actually stretched out his hands and pushed. That's not cycling.

He could play, but the doctors think there could be some nerve damage if he bangs that elbow again. It's not worth the risk. He's too good of a football player with too much ahead of him to take that kind of chance. It's a big loss for us because he's one of the great players in America. He and Michael Robinson are probably the two guys who turned the program around. That and the fact that we're still playing good on defense.

It could flex the elbow and extend the wrist so the tip of the fin could lie against the ground. It could do a push-up.

I think you have to ... take an MRI on every pitcher that you acquire in a trade or free agency - the elbows, knees and shoulders. That's the only way you're going to be able to look at the elbow and shoulder and knees, and get a pretty good idea of what's in there.

It happens to me all the time. I have to drink more water. It has nothing to do with my elbow or shoulder.

You hit a ground ball, he'll step on your bat running down first base behind you. He'll give you an elbow at first base. He's just like that. Playing against him, you don't like it too much, but when he's on your team, that's a completely different picture.
