In one of the most glaring FAILS in recent sports memory, upstart Marlins left fielder, Chris Coughlin, tore his meniscus while attempting to play a prank on game hero teammate, Wes Helms.
What’s really interesting is that this little stunt could actually have larger ramifications than a couple weeks on the DL – I hear today on local sports talk radio that Coghlan was being spoken about in trade talks with a number of teams. I’m not sure the Marlins were going to deal Coghlan, but it certainly won’t happen now…
