Delgad-No by Jared Carrabis
Carlos Delgado sufferers season-ending injury


(NESN.com) -- Carlos Delgado won't be donning a Red Sox uniform after all. The veteran's brief 2010 campaign is over, reports the Boston Herald, as the first baseman has suffered a season-ending tear in his left hip.

I've heard of an overwhelming injury bug before, but I don't think I've ever seen it to the point where the season-ending injuries spread down to the guys who were brought on to step in for the guys with season-ending injuries.

This is really disappointing, because with the season realistically being over, this was something to look forward to. I can almost compare this to a Christmas where you open up all of your presents, you don't get what you want and hope that it's in your stocking, but you don't even get your stocking.

There's always Clay Buchholz contending for the Cy Young award to look forward to, but for me personally, I was holding out for some long balls from Carlos Delgado.

It's a shame that the Red Sox couldn't have stayed in contention, because Delgado was a guy who really wanted to come up and help this team win.

"That’s the only way you should play," Delgado said in an interview last month. "To win. Not everybody can win, but I’ll die trying."

Call the Boston Police, because we've all been robbed.
