Broken & Bloody Noses



What are the odds of two pitchers being on television today with wads of cotton stuffed in their bloody noses? During the first game of the Super Regional matchup between Virginia and Ole Miss, Rebels' closer Jake Morgan got the win in relief, despite being hit by an errant throw during pre-game warmups, resulting in a broken and bloody nose (picture at left).

Then, the Angels' Ervin Santana got a bloody nose before his start tonight in Detroit (picture at right), but still pitched eight innings of shutout ball.

My apologies for the crappy cellphone pictures off the television, but it's not something you see every day, much less twice.
