Remember in May 2005 when the Cubs asked Carlos Zambrano to limit his computer time because they thought it might be causing his forearm stiffness? Now comes word that the Tigers have asked ace reliever Joel Zumaya to permanently quit playing "Guitar Hero" on PlayStation 2, according to the Detroit Free Press. Zumaya was sidelined toward the end of last season with forearm problems that could have been caused by the simulation of guitar strokes. When he did cease playing the video game last year, his forearm stiffness went away in time for him to post a 1-0 record and 3.00 ERA against the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
