okay, I'm sorry, but this is kind of hilarious.

Alright, so recall, last week, the snarky statement by Ray Fosse about Rich Harden? ("..to be four games back in the West, still right there, very much, and a whole summer of baseball left. People like Rich Harden ready to return. I think the A's are in a good spot." "As long as he doesn't hurt his elbow throwing those sunflower seeds.")
I give you this news release from the Oakland Athletics:

Prior to today's game against the Cleveland Indians, the Oakland Athletics activated right-handed pitcher Esteban Loaiza from the 15-day disabled list and placed pitcher Rich Harden on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to June 5) with a sprained ligament in his right elbow.

Now, see. Tempting the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing. Never fails.

It looks like he might be lost for good. =(
And I could have sworn that the lat Richie sighting meant he was here to stay!

We have to keep talking about him! Say his name out loud, every day. Maybe we can still save him.
