Glaciers Lose Taira for Season Sunday, July 28th , 2080 Denver catcher Taiji Taira could miss the remainder of the season because of a broken kneecap. He exited yesterday's Montreal game after injuring himself while being hit by a pitch. The original diagnosis said Taira would be out 4 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that." This season, Taira has banged out 56 hits in 234 at-bats for a .239 average with 12 home runs. He is getting on base at a .309 pace and his totals also include 34 RBIs and 24 runs scored. |
