Webb may need season-ending surgery

Brandon Webb has a big decision to make.

Webb had an MRI exam on his right shoulder Tuesday and was evaluated by team doctor Michael Lee to determine the next course of action and treatment. Webb previously treated the ailing shoulder with rest and strengthening exercises.

Season-ending surgery is an option this time around. ...

The 2006 National League Cy Young Award winner has been on the disabled list since April 13, retroactive to April 7, because of the shoulder. He began to experience discomfort during Spring Training and made one start before going on the DL. He was scheduled to make a bullpen session on Friday but felt discomfort and returned to Phoenix for an evaluation.

So will women. Which means a woman pitcher might be the most dangerous thing on the planet.

All this hate for a female knuckleballer.

Especially if she's handy with a meat cleaver.

Makes me glad I accepted that Mariano Rivera for Webb trade a couple of weeks ago.

What a tangled Webb we weave, when first we practice to meat cleave.

Awful like a fox! Post #7 found the one context in all of existence where it can express its irreproducible genius.

Indeed, offal, offal, offal.

If it's irreproducible, then it's not genius. It's just luck.

If #7 has a flaw, it's that it sidetracked a thread which had incredible promise. But otherwise it's TOTALLY AWESOME.
