    Castillo with a leg ailment?

    Oh my God, wasn’t everyone saying that he was Completely Back, just because he showed up after a whole winter of rest looking ambulatory?

    You’re blowing my mind here, Del.

    I thought that the magic Suspension of Disbelief of the fanbase had magically healed him forever!
