Will the rotator cuff tear be repaired, or will the joint just be cleaned out, referred to as a debridement? The thickness and location of the tear will likely be the determining factors. If the labrum shows degenerative wearing at the edges, it may only require a bit of smoothing out. If a labral tear is evident once they are in the joint, Halladay will require a more robust surgery. [...] It is likely that Halladay is looking at a minimum six-month recovery if more than a simple debridement ...

They just need to balance the humours.

Mets officials unworried

There's a first time for everything.

Break out the trepanning kit.

I wonder if Wilpon and the Madoffs invested in any leech farms?

Normally you interpret "[Team] officials unworried" as meaning "[Team] officials are worried". But by Mets standards, having their biggest star and four other players suffer ribcage injuries almost qualifies as a good news day.

Maybe they'll use the Jerry Manuel diagnosis:

They're calling it cramps -- surgery on Thursday.

The Mets' medical staff are welcome to borrow my flean.

"it's not about the money" = "it's about the money"

"team unworried" = "team berry berry worried"

It's to the point where I read "David Wright has a minor ribcage injury" and I just assume he's spent the last three days nailed to a cross with grumpy Italian soldiers stabbing his side with a spear.

Aortic dissection.

After further diagnosis, the Mets medical staff has determined that David Wright has been dead for six months.

Mets to media: Wright not yet ready to go on the cart.

Gary Carter was a no-show for the Mets spring training; a team spokesman said, "He's feeling a bit under the weather today, but we look forward to seeing Gary on Opening Day."

Any truth to the rumor that Wilpon wants to have Wright's rib removed and use that to create a left fielder who can hit?

Tim Byrdak will undergo meniscus surgery Tuesday. The doctors may or may not discover that he is missing his left arm.

The Mets should have built their new ballpark on beautiful Hart Island.

I can dig Jason Bay as Lilith.

So, organ harvesting is the new Mets finance backup plan?

I guess Wright's innards would probably bring the best returns, but if it were, I think I'd have started with someone less valuable.

1:15 thru 1:34 of this video

"I see. Let me know if his condition changes."
"He's dead."
