I present to you the first annual Gangsta and Grission Awards. Some of the categories had very tight races, while others were as one-sided as the Imperfect Game. The votes are in, however, and all winners receive as a way to remember their achievements, a Golden Jerry.   Most Gangsta Injury Jonathon Niese   On August 5th at Citi Field, Jonathon Niese...

Reminiscent of Brain Bannister blowing his hamstring out after earning a spot in the rotation as a rookie, Niese blew his out covering first base. Niese will be out the rest of the season as he has surgery to repair the hamstring, but he hopes to be ready for spring training.Jonathon Niese has been admi...
