In the lighter side of gaming news, Joel Zumaya, pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, was sidelined for three games of the American League Championship Series for a right wrist and forearm inflammation. Was this due to pitching? No! It was caused from playing Guitar Hero for a prolonged period of time!

During the radio interview, Dombrowski said the Tigers' athletic training staff discovered that Zumaya's forearm pain was more consistent with the action of a guitar player than a baseball pitcher. The Tigers asked Zumaya to stop playing the video game, and he did. Zumaya then pitched pain-free during the World Series, and went 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in three appearances.
