Aramis Ramirez Just Broke His Shoulder or Arm or Something

Details as they become available, but it doesn’t look good. Ramirez dove for a Ryan Braun ball (more reason to hate that goony looking freak), and landed awkwardly.

Early thoughts are that it could be a dislocated shoulder, which would be great news compared to a torn anything.

UPDATE: Yup, it’s a dislocated shoulder. X-rays on the way. Do yourself a favor: don’t Google around the “dislocated shoulder” world if the e-net. No good will come of it. Let’s just wait to hear the news.
