Guzman out for year; Colome's "infection"

I never thought I'd be so sad about this:


Washington Nationals shortstop Cristian Guzman, enjoying a renaissance year after two years of injuries and poor performance, is likely out for the remainder of the season after he injured his left thumb in Sunday's victory over the Cleveland Indians. Manager Manny Acta said this afternoon here that Guzman underwent surgery to repair ligaments in his thumb this afternoon, and that "there is a chance" he might come back later this season, but several club officials believe that's unlikely.


In funnier news, is anyone else amused that some news sources are referring to Colome's infection as being in his "right lower extremity," while others are saying it's his butt?
