Myth: You Can't Predict Someone's Health
A prediction on the future injury history of Francisco Liriano, from guest blogger Matthew Atwan:
My prediction is that an MRI later this evening detects a serious bout of flesh-eating bacteria. His life will be saved but his limb will be lost. Eventually, he will make a miraculous comeback after figuring how to attach and use a glove on his right foot. He will pitch for seven years while compiling a record of 163-21 with an ERA of 1.45. Tragedy will strike Liriano once again when he is struck by a moped after a start at Ameriquest Field in Arlington. He indeed will battle, eventually succumbing to severe head trauma a week later. A national day of mourning will be declared and we will all wear blue ribbons in his honor. From that day forward, every May 19 will be celebrated with fireworks, dancing, and a pig roast as Francisco Liriano Day.
