Awhile back, I reported that Mark Mulder was giving up his ESPN baseball commentator duties to give MLB pitching another chance. His arm, with a just discovered new throwing motion, was doing great. He was doing so well in his comeback bid that it was expected he'd be one of the top three starters for his team, the Angels, this season.
But Saturday, while doing a routine warm up drill of running backwards, he tore his achilles tendon. He didn't trip, slip, or fall. He wasn't even going fast. It just tore. He is now out for the season and it could very well end his comeback bid.
He'll be 37 next season, and the clock is definitely ticking.
