Jerome Felton, the blocking back for Adrian Peterson's rushing records, had an emergency appendectomy last night. He's going to miss the rest of the preseason. The lingering effects may also cause some disruption of the early season. Normally, most people can get back to a regular schedule fairly quickly from this, but Jerome's "regular" activities are a bit more intense than your average person.
Remember when I said that Peterson should shatter the NFL rushing mark this season IF everything would go perfectly well? This is the first nail in that coffin of everything going well. If Felton isn't 100% this year, we WILL see it reflected in Adrian's performances.
And the season hasn't even started yet, much more could still happen...
Joe Mauer had FIVE hits yesterday including a bottom of the tenth game-tying home run. But as you already know, that was not enough to give the Twins the win. If it was, this story would have had it's own headline.
Also, Justin Morneau, who couldn't be traded before the trade deadline because no one wanted him, has been placed on waivers. He's been there for a couple days already but no one, as of this writing, has claimed him. He'll continue playing in MLB's version of the phantom zone until somebody does. Or just be a Twin the rest of the year if no one does.
I'm starting to think he's not going to be around next year. /s
